    Abstract: A system is shown wherein, provided with an appropriate file organization, a data file can be read from a disk master file, given the file name, by performing one seek and one read operation. The system employs hash coding to compress a data file name to a disk file address. The disk file is positioned into fixed length blocks where each hashed file address points to a block, the block being as large as one cylinder or as small as one sector. Each block is organized such that it includes a directory for the files contained in the block and also contains the data files. Each entry in the directory contains the data file name and the address of that data file in the block. The process of locating and reading a data file entails the hash coding of a file name to yield a block address, the moving of the read head to the disk area having the block address and the reading of the directory and the remainder of the block to read out the data file. In the directory reading, the data file names are compared in real time, as they are read from the disk, with the name of the desired data file. When a name match occurs, the address of the data file in the block and the address of the next file address are read and stored. As the disk rotates, the desired data file address just read is constantly compared with the active disk address. When a match occurs, the file has been located and is read out. The reading is terminated at the address of the beginning of the next file. If the file name is not found in the directory of the block indicated by the hash coding of the file''s name, then the file is not present therein.

    Abstract: A light pen arrangement is described wherein the light pen has three degrees of freedom, viz. two-dimensional translation in the (X,Y) plane of a cathode ray tube screen and rotation about the projection of its own longitudinal axis to the normal of the screen. To sense the angular position of the light pen, at least two independent light sensitive elements, i.e., fiber optic bundles are required, the latter being suitably provided by dividing the bundle of fiber optics emerging from a single light pen into at least two separate groups and having photosensitive transducer respectively associated with each of the separate groups. When the light pen is placed on the screen and its presence there is sensed, an (X,Y) value pair is stored for the location of each light sensitive area of the light pen, i.e., each of the aforementioned separate fiber optic groups. The storing is accomplished by having an electron beam draw lines or points in each light sensitive area and, receiving in response thereto, interrupts for points or lines in the field of view of each fiber optic group, the (X,Y) coordinate of each point or line causing an interrupt and the fiber optic group that picked up the interrupt is now known to the computer or other control arrangement controlling the cathode ray tube. The computer or control arrangement can then compute the (X,Y) location of the light pen as the centroid of the individual areas and the angular position of the pen.
