Abstract: A dictionary based data compression and decompression system where, in the compressor, when a partial string W and a character C are matched in the dictionary, a new string is entered into the dictionary with C as an extension character on the string PW where P is the string corresponding to the last output compressed code signal. An update string is entered into the compression dictionary for each input character that is read and matched. The updating is immediate and interleaved with the character-by-character matching of the current string. The update process continues until the longest match is found in the dictionary. The code of the longest matched string is output in a string matching cycle. If a single character or multi-character string "A" exists in the dictionary, the string AAA . . . A is encoded in two compressed code signals regardless of the string length. This encoding results in an unrecognized code signal at the decompressor.

Abstract: An apparatus for protecting computer memory utilizes a parity matrix to generate an n-k check bit signal of an extended linear (n,k,4) code from a k data bit signal. Exclusive-OR gates add the n-k check bit signal to an n-k tag bit signal selected from a predetermined class, to form, when concatenated with the k data bit signal, an element of a code of a certain class. The element comprising the k data bit signal is written in memory. A correction matrix or And gate cooperating with exclusive-OR gates detects an attempt to access the k data bit signal with an n-k key bit signal belonging to the same class as the n-k tag bit signal, but which does not match it.

Abstract: A data compressor compresses an input stream of data character signals by storing in a string table strings of data character signals encountered in the input stream. The compressor searches the input stream to determine the longest match to a stored string. Each stored string comprises a prefix string and an extension character where the extension character is the last character in the string and the prefix string comprises all but the extension character. Each string has a code signal associated therewith and a string is stored in the string table by, at least implicitly, storing the code signal for the string, the code signal for the string prefix and the extension character. When the longest match between the input data character stream and the stored strings is determined, the code signal for the longest match is transmitted as the compressed code signal for the encountered string of characters and an extension string is stored in the string table.

Abstract: An address sequencer utilizes binary words generated by Exclusive-OR addition of Gray code words to linear code words to produce a sequence of computer or memory addresses such that the addresses whose indices lie within a selected range of the index of a particular address are a predetermined Hamming distance from that address, whereby the possibility of recent data being overwritten is reduced.
