Abstract: This research shows that the systematic organization provided by table-driven methods provides many more benefits than the ad hoc code generation techniques of the past.

Abstract: IF there is one universally recognised function of the family it is that of 'consumption'. It would be tedious to enumerate all the works which mention this because there is no sociologist, and more generally no author dealing with the family, who does not at least allude to it. Furthermore, it is presented as one of the principal functions of 'the Modern Family'. To say that the family assumes a function implies that it satisfies pre-existing needs, and this is certainly implied in the case of consumption. In the authors' minds, as in commonsense, this function answers not the social and contingent need of businesses to see their products sold, but (at least in earlier times) the universal needs of physical survival for human beings. It seems undeniable that primary needs are involved, that the satisfaction of these needs must be a preliminary to any social life, and that this function must consequently be of the very greatest importance. These needs are universal because they are biological and, since they are biological, they must be the needs of individuals in the sense of discrete, physical units. If it is granted that the family is the institution (or one of the institutions) which fulfills this function, it might have been expected that the next step would have been a study of the way in which the family satisfies these needs. But, in contrast to the social and theoretical importance of both the family and the 'function' of consumption, there is a strikingly poor literature on the topic. Not a single known study of the family takes this function as its theme of research, or even sets out the ground for such research. If this function were not the object of specific investigations, one might at least have expected to see it discussed in general theoretical introductions. But after its obligatory and quasiritual mention it is little developed. Indeed, the assertion of the existence of a consumption function is often put in the form of negatively phrased sentences. That is to say, the function of consumption is presented as the only remaining function of the family within the economic order: what remains to it of a glorious past, of the global economic role it used

Abstract: A well-known fundamental computer technique consists of the "interpretation" of naturally available or artifically formed, data items as addresses to perform table-lookups. Although well-known, this technique is still not exploited to its fullest potential. The power and extent of this technique as applied to logic simulation is demonstrated.

Abstract: The LINKOD modeling system estimates a trip table based on observed link volumes and turning movements. This trip table can be used as an input to traffic assignment and/or simulation models. LINKOD is designed for small area analysis where all link volumes are known. The system is driven by the models: SMALD, a trip distibution model for small areas, and ODLINK, an adaptable trip table assignment model. SMALD estimates a trip table (the Target table) based on trip rates at sources and sinks, and the network's service level. The ODLINK model corrects an input (Target) trip table, so it best replicates the observed flows, when assigned using equilibrium assignment. The models are driven by the LINKOD software package. The package includes several computer programs which perform input data editing and extensive summaries of the results.

Abstract: The invention relates to memory-mapping and protection facilities in multi-processor data-handling systems. A feature of the invention relates to systems in which a plurality of processors, including both arithmetic processors and processors for the control of external data handling devices, communicate with each other and with a main store using a shared data-bus. Addresses generated by the processors are split into a most significant part A and a least significant part B. The part A is used to address a table store which generates the most significant digits P of the main store address, with an indication Q of the type of access permitted (e.g. read only or read and write). The digits P and B serve to form the address of a main store location or a device control processor function, the digits Q being communicated with them over the data-bus and used to address in a controlled manner, main store locations and device control processor functions. In the preferred implementation the table store holds a large number (e.g. 64) of tables and a table number store holds, for each processor the number of the table currently in use. This enables processors to be allocated tables rapidly and independently the table allocated being set to suit the task to be undertaken.
