Abstract: A pipeline-type serial multiplier having a cellular structure, each cell comprising an adder which operates on 3 one-bit data x, y, c and which determines the result v modulo 2 and the carry c.sub.o of the addition of x, y, and c. Each adder simultaneously determines a data c.sub.1 which is the modulo 2 result of the addition of x, y, c.sub.o. This enables the exact final result of a multiplication of a data A of n bits by a data B of p bits to be obtained in two successive segments: a segment L which is formed by the p bits of lowest digital weight and a segment H which is formed by the n bits of the highest weight. The output rate is F/n, where F is the clock frequency. The multiplier circuits can be cascaded under the control of an external signal. They can also be connected in parallel in order to add the results of two multiplications.

Abstract: Video graphics system which, by means of a graphics cursor, permits the identification of encoded surfaces of images represented on a screen. In order to do this, there are added to the parameters of the encoded surface, for each surface, an identifier which can be read by slices in the course of readings effected on a plurality of successive frames. An identification memory permits the accumulation of all the slices until the complete acquisition of the identifier. This situation is brought to the attention of the user.

Abstract: A processor of images of objects described in three dimensions for determining parameters of pixels on a display screen. The processor possesses inputs for parameters of convex polygons describing the objects in a frame of visualization and determines from the parameters of the polygons the parameters of the pixels of a transformed two-dimensional image of that object. In order to eliminate concealed faces of objects displayed on the screen from a perspective view, the processor selects and stores the parameters of all the elements of the transformed image which are closest to the plane of visualization (the display screen). The image processor is noteworthy in that it serially processes, by pipeline organization, the parameters of a set of segments which constitute the intersections of the set of polygons with each line of visualization of the visual display device, a plurality of segments being processed simultaneously.
