Abstract

A combinatorial distribution system for distributing energy and matter is proposed, the combinatorial distribution system being designed as a system of lines for distributing energy or matter and having at least two sides, one side A and one side B, which are each connected by at least one line wherein the ends of the lines are grouped on the A side and arranged at a plurality of predetermined contact points at which they are connected to each other, while on the B side they are grouped and arranged at predetermined contact points without being connected to each other

Description

The invention relates to a combinatorial distribution system for the distribution of energy and matter, the distribution system acting as a logical control component.

State of the art

Systems for the distribution and management of matter or energy are known. There are serial systems in which matter or energy is distributed in a line to control and work components. Also known are parallel systems in which matter or energy is distributed in several lines to control and work components.

With the serial system, all work components are controlled at once. The parallel system enables the separation and separate management of work components. While the serial system has only one address to which energy or matter is distributed, the parallel system has several addresses. Despite all of these and other features of both systems, none of them behave like a logical control component.

the DE 27 29 401 C2 discloses a "Specialized Digital Computer for Statistical Information Processing". A circuit-based solution is described which is based on the use of probability information processing methods. The productivity when investigating random processes, in particular when calculating their statistical characteristics, is significantly increased, the electronic circuit is simplified, the outlay on equipment is reduced and the dimensions are reduced.

the DE 11 2016 003 245.5 discloses a two port "resistive processing unit" having a first port, a second port, and an active area. The active area brings about a non-linear change in a conduction state of the active area on the basis of at least one first coded signal applied to the first connection and at least one coded signal applied to the second connection. The active area is configured to locally execute a data storage operation of a training methodology based at least in part on the non-linear change in the line condition.

The disadvantage of the known systems and methods is that a large number of electronic components are required in order, for example, to control or the like. to enable.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a system and a method which, by means of a few electronic components, enable reliable control for different possible uses.

Disclosure of the invention

The invention is disclosed by the features of the main claim. Embodiments and further developments are the subject of the further claims following the main claim.

A combinatorial distribution system of energy and matter is disclosed, the distribution system acting as a logical control component.

The disclosed combinatorial distribution system is a system of power or matter conduits arranged by combinatorial logic. The combinatorial distribution system has two sides, a side A and a side B, on which the ends of the energy or matter lines to which the two sides are connected are formed. The ends of the lines are grouped and arranged at the contact points. Control or work components or an energy or matter system are connected to the contact points. On the A side, the ends of the lines are connected at the contact points, whereas on the B side, the ends of the lines are not connected at the contact points. Contact points on side A and side B can be used as system inputs or outputs. If the inputs are on the A side and the outputs are on the B side, then energy or matter is distributed by propagation, i.e. by dispersion. When the system inputs are on the B-side and the outputs are on the A-side, the energy or matter is distributed by accumulation, i.e. by accumulation.

For the combinatorial distribution system to function, two or more contact points on side A are combined in such a way that only one of several combinations is used to determine the address of certain contact points on side B. For this reason, the contact points on side A automatically have their specific address. When energy or matter is sent through combined contact points on side A, the lines deliver energy or matter only to specific contact points on side B. When energy or matter is sent through a contact point on side B, the lines deliver Energy or matter at specific combined contact points on side A, which are connected to this contact point on side B.

In a first exemplary embodiment of the combinatorial distribution system, this has in particular 5 input contact points on side A, which are numbered from 1 to 5, and the letters alpha- “a”. The first input is labeled “α1”, the second input is labeled “a2”, etc. The individual outputs and the contact points on side B are identified by the letter Omega “ω” and a combination of numbers that represent the inputs to which this output is connected, e.g. B. "ω1,2", "ω1,3". "etc. Using the application example and a formula, only two inputs - contact points on side A are combined.

The auxiliary formula with which the maximum number of outputs can be calculated - ωB on side B, related to the number of contact points - inputs - αA on side A is: $$\mathrm{\omega }\text{B.}=\mathrm{\alpha }\text{A.}*\left(\mathrm{\alpha }\text{A.}-1\right)/2$$

If the contact points on the B-side are used as inputs, there are more inputs than the outputs on the A-side. In this case, the inputs on the B side are identified by a letter alpha "a" and the combination of the output numbers on the A side, e.g. B. "α1,2", "α1,3" etc. The outputs are marked with a letter omega "ω" and a number, e.g. B. "ω1", "ω2" etc.

The formula for calculating the maximum number of outputs - ωA on side A versus the number of inputs - αB on side B is: $$\mathrm{\omega }\text{A.}=\left(\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{8th}*\mathrm{\alpha }\text{B.}+1\right)+1}\right)/2$$

The specific addresses, with which contact points on side A the contact points on side B are connected, are obtained if the combinations of contact points on side A are named, whereby the combinations may not be repeated. In this example, the maximum number of possible combinations without repetition, the 2 contact points on side A are as follows: $$\begin{array}{cccc}1,2& 2,3& 3,\mathrm{4th}& \mathrm{4th},5\\ 1,\text{3}& 2,\text{4th}& 3,5& \\ 1,\text{4th}& 2,\text{5}& & \\ 1,\text{5}& & & \end{array}$$

It can be seen from this that in this example 10 combinations are possible without repetition. For example, if “1, 2” or “2, 1” is specified, it is the same combination of contact points on side A. For example, if there are 5 contact points on side A (A = 5) or 10 contact points on side B (B = 10), it is the same combinatorial distribution system. The difference is which side of the system are used as inputs and which are used as outputs.

The lines of the combinatorial distribution system can be "polarized". This means that each line can have several different physical states. In electrical engineering, for example, lines can be polarized positively (+) or negatively (-). In optics, when using glass fibers, they can be polarized, e.g. B. "red, green or blue", so "RGB". RGB is the color space that is formed using the colors red, green and blue.

In hydraulics and pneumatics, pipes serve as lines for gases and liquids that can have different pressures and temperatures. By polarizing the lines, it is possible to “program” the system. This allows greater system possibilities.

The formula for calculating the number of operational components - K, e.g. B. LEDs that can be controlled by the polarization of the lines, in terms of the number by how many different poles the line can have - p and the number of system outputs - ω, is: $$\text{K}=\text{p}*\mathrm{\omega }$$

The combinatorial distribution system can be produced as a modular or separate compact logic element with or without additional logic components or as part of a device, a machine or a system. The combinatorial distribution system can be used in all scientific areas, i.e. in electrical engineering, optics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanics, etc.

Due to the design rules and functional principles of the combinatorial distribution system, which are always the same, this system is explained using a further exemplary embodiment in electrical engineering.

• Mit einem zweipoligen Schalter wird einer von zwei Polen (+ / -) ausgewählt oder in der mittleren Position ausgelassen. Durch Einschalten von zwei oder mehr Schaltern wird elektrischer Strom über die Leitungen an die gewünschte LED gesendet, die dann eingeschaltet werden kann. Jede hat eine eigene Adresse und hängt davon ab, wie und welche Schalter oder Eingänge kombiniert werden. Mit diesem System können mehrere LEDs gleichzeitig eingeschaltet und gesteuert werden, da mehrere Schalter gleichzeitig betätigt werden können.

Another embodiment shows the application in the control of the LED:

• With a two-pole switch, one of two poles (+ / -) is selected or left out in the middle position. By turning on two or more switches, electrical current is sent through the wires to the desired LED, which can then be turned on. Each has its own address and depends on how and which switches or inputs are combined. With this system several LEDs can be switched on and controlled at the same time, since several switches can be operated at the same time.

This example is used in different technologies, e.g .: large interactive touchscreens, computer architecture, switching electrical machines and devices on and off and operation, telecommunications - multiplexing and demultiplexing.

Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description of the figures, the drawings and the claims.

• 2 zeigt schematisch eine Anwendung bei der Steuerung einer LED.

An exemplary embodiment of the solution according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings. It shows:

• 1 shows an example of a combinatorial distribution system design,
• 2 shows schematically an application in the control of an LED.

This in 1 The combinatorial distribution system shown is a system of energy or matter lines ( 3 ) arranged by combinatorial logic. The combinatorial distribution system has two sides, side A ( 1 ) and side B ( 2 ), at which the ends of the energy or matter lines or lines for the distribution of energy or matter, with which the two sides are connected, are arranged. The ends of the lines are at the contact points ( 4th , 5 ) grouped and arranged. The control or work components or an energy or matter system are connected to the contact points. On side A ( 1 ) are the ends of the lines ( 3 ) at the contact points ( 4th ) connected, and on side B ( 2 ) are the ends of the lines ( 3 ) not at the contact points ( 5 ) connected. Contact points on side A ( 1 ) and side B ( 2 ) can be used as system inputs or outputs. If the inputs are on the A side ( 1 ) and the outputs on the B-side ( 2 ), energy or matter is distributed by propagation, i.e. by dispersion, if the system inputs are on the B-side ( 2 ) and the outputs on the A side ( 1 ), the energy or matter, on the other hand, is distributed through accumulation, that is, through accumulation.

In order for the combinatorial distribution system to work, two or more contact points are placed on side A ( 1 ) combined in such a way that only one of several combinations is used to determine the address of certain contact points on side B ( 2 ) to be determined. For this reason the contact points on side A ( 1 ) also automatically their specific address. If energy or matter via combined contact points on side A ( 1 ) is sent, the lines deliver energy or matter only to certain contact points on side B ( 2 ). When energy or matter passes through a contact point on side B ( 2 ) is sent, the lines deliver energy or matter to specific combined contact points on side A ( 1 ) connected to this contact point on side B (B).

This in 1 The illustrated embodiment of the combinatorial distribution system has input contact points ( 4th ) on side A ( 1 ) numbered 1 to 5 and the letters alpha- "α". The first input is labeled "α1", the second input is labeled "α2", etc. Individual outputs such as the contact points ( 5 ) on side B ( 2 ) are identified by a letter omega “ω” and a combination of numbers that represent the inputs to which this output is connected, e.g. B. "ω1,2", "ω1,3". "etc.

The combinatorial distribution system can be produced as a modular or separate compact logic element with or without additional logic components or as part of a device, a machine or a system. The combinatorial distribution system can be used in all scientific areas, i.e. in electrical engineering, optics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanics, etc.

Due to the design rules and functional principles of the combinatorial distribution system, which are always the same, this system is explained using an example in electrical engineering. However, it can be transferable to other systems.

Fig. 2 shows the application in the control of an LED:

With the two-pole switch ( 6th ) one of the two poles (+ / -) is selected or it is left out in the middle position. By turning on two or more switches, electrical current is generated via the lines ( 3 ) to the desired LED ( 8th ) which can then be switched on. Each LED ( 8th ) has its own address and it depends on how and which switches ( 6th ) or inputs ( 4th ) be combined. With this system you can multiple LEDs ( 8th ) can be switched on and controlled at the same time, as several switches ( 6th ) can be operated at the same time.

This example is used in different technologies, e.g .: large interactive touchscreens, computer architecture, switching electrical machines and devices on and off, telecommunications - multiplexing and demultiplexing signals, etc.
