  • Computer segmented memory management technique wherein two expandable memory portions are contained within a single segment
    Patent number: 4445170
    Abstract: Separate memory management units are described for use with a central processing unit to separately control expanding stack and data memory portions within a single logical memory segment. The stack and data portions are prevented from expanding into each other by a break register which contains an address between the two memory portions and is updated as the stack and data memory portions expand and contract. The stack memory management unit only is enabled when a portion of the memory is addressed on one side of the break value while the data memory management unit only is utilized when the address is on the other side of the break value.

  • Method of encoding confidentiality markings
    Patent number: 5436974
    Abstract: The invention disclosed here is a method of encoding serial numbers indicating "confidentiality" or "proprietary information" on printed documents. A group of marks in the form of small-sized dots or equivalent markings are repetitively printed across the face of the document. The placement and location of the markings defines a readable binary serial number. Intermixing the markings with the printed matter on the document makes it difficult or impossible to remove the serial number created by the markings, and they will remain on the document after repeated photocopies of it are made.
