US Patent:
40756793, Feb 21, 1978
Filed:
Dec 8, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/638381
Inventors:
Chris J. Christopher - Loveland CO
Fred W. Wenninger - Loveland CO
Donald E. Morris - Loveland CO
Wayne F. Covington - Loveland CO
Jerry B. Folsom - Loveland CO
Joseph W. Beyers - Loveland CO
John H. Nairn - Longmont CO
Jeffrey C. Osborne - Longmont CO
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 302
G06F 918
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
An adaptable programmable calculator employs modular read-write and read-only memories separately expandable to provide additional program and data storage functions within the calculator oriented toward the environment of the user, and an LSI NMOS central processing unit, capable of handling sixteen-bit parallel binary operations, binary-coded-decimal arithmetic, sixteen-bit parallel input/output operations, two-level interrupt from up to sixteen input/output devices, and a direct memory access channel. The input/output units include a keyboard input unit having a full complement of alphanumeric keys, a magnetic tape cassette reading and recording unit capable of bidirectionally transferring programs and data between the calculator and a magnetic tape, a 32-character solid state output display unit capable of displaying every alphabetic and numeric character and many other symbols individually or in combination, and a sixteen-column alphanumeric thermal printer for printing results of computations, program listings, messages generated by the user and the calculator itself, and error conditions encountered during use of the calculator. All of these input/output units are included within the calculator itself. Many other external input/output units may be employed with the calculator.

US Patent:
44371560, Mar 13, 1984
Filed:
Jan 21, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/227019
Inventors:
Chris J. Christopher - Loveland CO
Fred W. Wenninger - Loveland CO
Donald E. Morris - Loveland CO
Wayne F. Covington - Loveland CO
Jerry B. Folsom - Loveland CO
Joseph W. Beyers - Loveland CO

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 906
G06F 940
G06F 3023
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
An adaptable programmable calculator employs modular read-write and read-only memories separately expandable to provide additional program and data storage functions within the calculator oriented toward the environment of the user, and an LSI NMOS central processing unit, which includes the capability of bidirectionally transferring information between itself and various input/output units. The input/output units include a keyboard input unit having a full complement of alphanumeric keys, a magnetic tape cassette reading and recording unit capable of bidirectionally transferring programs and data between the calculator and a magnetic tape, a 32-character solid state output display unit capable of displaying every alphabetic and numeric character. The calculator employs a natural algebraic program language that allows the user to enter lines of one or more alphanumeric algebraic statements into the calculator from the keyboard input unit while visually observing each line as it is entered to check for errors therein. The user may immediately execute each entered line or store that line as part of a program in the read-write memory, may subsequently recall the executed or stored line so that it may be reinspected, and, if necessary, edited and re-executed or re-stored, thereby automatically replacing the previously stored line.
