专利汇可以提供Apparatus for generating and displaying characters by tracing continuous strokes专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A character display system for tracing a succession of strokes on a display tube to thereby generate the character. The digital information necessary to generate the proper number of strokes in the correct sequence is stored in a character read-only memory, each location of which provides memory words of 16 bits, one or more portions of each memory word being latched into one or more data registers at predetermined time intervals after the memory word is available. A multiplexer is provided to route the correct bit from the memory or the one or more registers to each of the six multiplexer outputs to create control words of six bits. Control logic is provided to respond to the control words to generate digital signals for selectively incrementally charging two capacitors to control the vertical and horizontal deflection fields respectively of the display tube. The charging of each capacitor is accomplished by combinations of whole and fractional units of positive charging current above a predetermined negative level to provide the appropriate analog signals for the deflection circuitry. The control word also controls the unblanking amplifier of the cathode ray tube circuitry. A control read-only memory is provided to accept information indicative of the character and provide outputs indicative of the number of strokes required for that particular character and memory address information for the character read-only memory.,下面是Apparatus for generating and displaying characters by tracing continuous strokes专利的具体信息内容。
