Abstract: A split backplane is used in a network server, thereby permitting the use of more than one channel to connect a server motherboard to one or more hard disc drives. A master card ‘A’ is plugged into each backplane. In turn, one or more additional cards may be stacked parallel to the master card, being joined thereto by a mezzanine connector. The additional card can be another master card ‘A’ or a slave card ‘B’ that performs subordinate functions. Each card is coupled to one or more hard disc drives through a multiple pin connector to transmit SCSI, or similar signals. The ‘A’ and ‘B’ cards are arranged generally parallel with the planar surfaces of the disc drives so as to improve the flow of cooling air as it is drawn through the enclosure or mounting rack past the disc drives.

Abstract: A high-speed data transport system for use in computers, switches, microprocessors or the like includes a low impedance differential bus and a plurality of transceivers connected to the bus. Each of the transceivers is provided with a driver circuit which places data onto the bus and a receiver for accepting data from the bus. The driver includes a pseudo-differential current driving circuit arrangement which sinks current from only one side of the bus while the other side of the differential bus is undisturbed. The receiver includes a differential comparator biased to a preferred output voltage level.

Abstract: An apparatus for carrying out, at frame rates, entity detection and verification on bit-mapped raster graphic systems by providing an entity identification bit sequence with each feature of the picture displayed. The apparatus includes a display coupled to a store for input data, serially sending items of data to the display, together with means for identifying the items of data so supplied, such that all the items of data forming a selected feature, i.e., line, circle, background or etc. of the display can be identified, and stored. Comparison and register means are used to drive a modulating means to verify the display of the items of data, forming the selected feature, when a correlation occurs between the selected feature and the feature formed by the items of data sent from the store. Verification may be emphasizing, i.e., brightening, flashing, color change, etc. the feature selected.

Abstract: A high voltage/high current circuitry includes a push-pull voltage amplification stage connected in tandem with a parallel connected push-pull current amplification stage. For the voltage amplification stage a pair of bipolar operational amplifiers are connected in parallel and operate in a push-pull manner. A pair of switching means are positioned at the output of each of the bipolar operational amplifiers while the outputs of the amplifiers are connected to the inputs through a current gain regulating means, an isolation means and a voltage divider means.
