1,199,298. Error correction. ALBISWERK ZURICH A.G. 19 Dec., 1967 [19 Jan., 1967], No. 57495/67. Heading G4H. Errors in the digital indication of a measured value derived from partial values are automatically corrected provided the error in the lowest order of any partial measurement does not exceed n/2 units where n is the basis of the measuring system i.e. 5 units in the decimal system. In one embodiment (Fig. 3) the counter 1, 2, 3 for the coarse measurement represented by a pulse train at G is preset to 995 so that no negative corrections are necessary. The second decade 5 of the counter 4, 5, 6 for the fine measurement is also connected to a counting stage 7 which hence holds the most significant digit of the fine value. After the coarse and fine measurements have been entered, the stage 7 receives pulses fed through a gate 19 from a pulse generator 16, these pulses also being fed to decade 3 of the coarse counter (from which any carry is entered in decade 2) until counter 7 reads zero and enables gate 18 to close gate 19. The count in stages 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 is displayed. In a second embodiment (Fig. 4) in which the measured value is represented by a number of two place partial values, a pulse train representing the finest partial value is fed into counter 30 with carries being fed into counter 31. Counter 30 is then counted up to zero by pulse generator 33, the lowest decade 36 of an indicating counter being simultaneously counted down. With counter 30 preset to 5 and counter 32 preset to 9 counter 31 is counted up to zero, counting stage 37 being counted down and counter 30 being counted up by these pulses. Any carry from counter 30 is held in counter 32. The next partial value is then fed into counter 30 with carries being transferred to counter 32 With counter 30 preset to 5 and counter 31 preset to 9, counter 32 is then counted up to zero, counting stage 38 being counted down by these pulses. As before these pulses are also fed to counter 30. This process is repeated for all the partial values, counters 31, 32 being used alternately. |
