Devices for analyzing physical phenomenons, and in particular nuclear phenomenons

Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL PHENOMENONS, IN PARTICULAR NUCLEAR PHENOMENONS, OCCURRING AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS, WHICH COMPRISES, IN COMBINATION, A PLURALITY OF REMOVABLE SUB-UNITS EACH PERFORMING A GIVEN FUNCTION FOR ANALYZING SAID PHENOMENONS, TO WIT: AN INPUT SUB-UNIT FOR DEDUCING FROM THE SUCCESSSION OF SAID ELEMENTARY PHENOMENONS A SUCCESSION OF GROUPS OF A AT MOST N+1 SIMULTANEOUS ELECTRICAL PULSES, EVERY GROUP COMPRISING BOTH A NUMBER OF AT MOST N DIGITS REPRESENTING, IN BINARY CODE, THE ELEMENTARY INFORMATION CORRESPONDING TO AN ELEMENTARY PHENOMENON AND A REFERENCE SUPPLEMENTARY DIGIT ASSOCIATED WITH SAID NUMBER, A TIMING SUB-UNIT FOR DISTRIBUTING AT REGULAR TIME INTERVALS THE SUCCESSION OF GROUPS OF PULSES THAT ISSUE FROM SAID INPUT SUB-UNIT, AT LEAST ONE SUB-UNIT FOR STORING, TREATING AND CONDITIONING GROUPS OF PULSES ISSUING AT REGULAR INTERVALS FROM SAID TIMING SUB-UNIT, AND AN OUTPUT SUB-UNIT FOR EXPLOITING THE ELABORATED INFORMATIONS DELIVERED BY SAID STORING, TREATING AND CONDITIONING SUB-UNITS, EACH OF SAID SUB-UNITS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE INPUT AND OUTPUT SUB-UNITS, COMPRISING, FOR TRANSMITTING THE GROUPS OF PULSES FROM ONE SUB-UNIT TO ANOTHER ONE THE FOLLOWING ELEMNTS: N INPUT REGISTERS FOR TEMPORARILY STORING THE N PULSES OF A GROUP REPRESENTING THE NUMBER DESIGNATING EVERY ELEMENTARY INFORMATION TO BE TREATED IN THE SUB-UNIT IN QUESTION, AND CONSTITUTING THEREFORE INFORMATION PULSES, AT LEAST ON FUNCTIONAL DEVICE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING, ON SAID N INFORMATION PULSES, THE FUNCTION CORRESPONDING TO THE SUB-UNIT IN QUESTION,
