Abstract: A method system, and apparatus for virtual modeling of biological tissue yields virtual multicellular individuals that exhibit adaptive emergent functionality in response to environmental stimuli. Virtual environmental parameters and cells with genomes are generated, and modified by genetic operations. Cells are developed into generations of multicellular individuals, which are evaluated and selected via evolutionary search according to fitness criteria, and individuals exhibiting adaptive emergent functionality, such as self-repair, are developed and identified.

Abstract: A battery-powered, hand-held calculator employs MOS/LSI calculator circuits to perform arithmetic and financial calculations. Data and commands are input to the calculator from a keyboard having a prefix key to double the functions of selected keys. A 15-digit, seven-segment light emitting diode (LED) display serves as the output for the calculator.

Abstract: A battery-powered, hand-held, calculator employs MOS/LSI calculator circuits to perform arithmetic and financial calculations. Data and commands are input to the calculator from a keyboard having shift key to double the functions of selected keys. A 15-digit, seven-segment light emitting diode (LED) display serves as the output for the calculator. The calculator circuits include a read-only memory circuit in which the algorithms for performing the arithmetic and financial calculations are stored; a control and timing circuit for scanning the keyboard, retaining status information about the condition of the calculator or of an algorithm, and generating the next read-only memory address; and an arithmetic and register circuit containing an adder, a group of working registers, a group of data storage registers forming a stack for roll down operation, and a constant storage register. These circuits are interconnected by a multiple line buss system.
