The device corrects for all regular and irregular variations of the Hebrew calendar over a period of 10 years using a simple card or chip containing only prewired connections. Also displayed are the days of the week and the calendar year. The device requires a one pulse per day input which is available from standard electronic clock circuit chips in addition to the setting and computing input clock rates to be described.

  • Patent number: 3964195
    Abstract: A single and/or continuing event calendar which particularly lends itself to computer print-out. The calendar is in the form of defined rectangular spaces arrayed in the manner of a conventional monthly calendar with the definition of the spaces accomplished both vertically and horizontally by a series of dash lines spaced from each other, but with the horizontal lines defining each space being interrupted by the name of the day and the date applicable to such space. The calendar provides desired information in summary form concerning a plurality of single and/or continuing events in a given field of interest and which may occur concurrently and/or sequentially during the period of a particular month (or any part thereof).

  • Patent number: 3936966
    Abstract: Incorporating for the first time in a perpetual calendar the concept of separating the two digits of the "year," into a single DEACDE digit plus a single YEAR digit, this device determines the calendar for any desired century, decade, year and month whatever, by positioning these calendric time units in combination with each other in successive chain-like liaison, automatically revealing, as a result, the correct calendar desired. It consists of a number of components, each comprising one or more indicia-group-bearing and viewing-area-embracing means or elements (of whatever kind, style or nature), each of which consists either or an indicia-group region and a viewing-area (fenestella, arrow, or the like) region, or of two indicia-group regions. The desired century can, in a given calendar, be displayed in only one way; this determines the only single way in which the desired decade can then be displayed, this positioning, in turn, determining uniquely the spatial setting of the desired year, and so on.
