  • Patent number: 4348725
    Abstract: A programmable communications processor is coupled to execute instructions of programs designed to process the transfer of information between a plurality of communication channels and a main memory included in the system. A software implemented and controlled pause counter enables the execution of a given maximum number of instructions for servicing, for example, a communication channel following which it suspends or pauses such servicing, in order to service another higher priority request which may be pending. Processing of lower priority service requests thus cannot delay the recognition and handling of higher priority requests for more than a minimum period of time and the effective throughput rate is increased.

  • Patent number: 4189228
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a locator, e.g. a notch, perforation or mark, associated with each frame of an elongated film strip that is advanced through the apparatus. The apparatus includes guide members that are supported adjacent opposite longitudinal edges of the strip and a detector, such as a photoelectric cell and a light source, for sensing the locators. The guide members and the detector are coupled for movement in a direction transverse to the general direction of advancement of the strip and move in response to transverse wavering movement of the strip to ensure proper positioning of the detector relative to the locators as the locators approach the detector.
