Incremental state logic methodology and apparatus for logic based program control

In a hardware device devoid of a processor and memory, wherein a methodology is employed to convert non-discrete intermediate state conditions into discrete incremental logic states for judging one incremental state against another in a device further comprising:

• inputs and outputs for connectivity to external devices and interfaces to satisfy conditional input/output (I/O) parameters of said hardware device;
• means to sample non-discrete intermediate values of an input signal source for voltage, resistance, or current;
• means to apply compression ratios to sampled inputs for producing discrete states in equal increments between fixed minimum and maximum values whereby non-discrete intermediate state values are compressed into a subset of their original values;
• means to apply hysteresis to select transition points from one incremental state to another;
• means to represent magnitude values for voltage, resistance, or current, in incremental logic states for integrating non-discrete intermediate signal sources in a hardware device devoid of a processor and memory.

In a computer system for implementing logic based program control sequences of an operating system, wherein a process is applied to convert non-discrete intermediate state conditions into discrete incremental logic states for judging one incremental state against another in a device further comprising:

• a read only memory (ROM) to store operating system for orchestrating system level operations;
• a random access memory (RAM) to store operational status, operating sequences, and user-defined control sequences wherein operating sequences define functionality of a process and control sequences provide means for executing user-defined logical functions responsible for generating response activities;
• a processor to execute instruction sequences from memory for directing data flow between hardware elements of a system that encompasses a computer system;
• inputs and outputs for connectivity to external devices and user interfaces to satisfy input/output (I/O) parameters of a control or operating sequence;
• means to sample non-discrete intermediate values of a signal representing voltage, resistance, or current;
• means to apply user-defied compression ratios to signal values for producing discrete states in equal increments between fixed minimum and maximum values whereby non-discrete intermediate state values are compressed into a subset of their original values;
• means to apply user-defined hysteresis to select transition points from one incremental state to another;
• means to represent magnitude values for voltage, resistance, or current, in incremental logic states for integrating non-discrete intermediate signal values with logic based control sequences.
