TL;DR: In this paper, a communication loop system with bidirectional transmission capability between terminals is described, which is comprised of switching units which allow isolation of a loop segment and the establishment of an operable folded loop for the remaining non-isolated loop portions of the system.
Abstract: This is a communication loop system having a bidirectional transmission capability between terminals. The system is comprised of switching units which allow isolation of a loop segment and the establishment of an operable folded loop for the remaining non-isolated loop portions of the system. In addition, the communication loop system comprises devices for enabling synchronous switchover operation during reconfiguration of the loop. This synchronous switchover insures that no data stream interruption or disturbance occurs for the units or terminals not attached to the disconnected loop segment.

TL;DR: The dynamic sequencing and segmentation model (DSSM) is proposed as a solution for providing efficient sequencing with very low overhead and its performance is evaluated under various realistic environments.
Abstract: In this paper, we generalize the concept of pipelining to increase throughput, processing speed, resource utilization and reliability. Its wide application spectrum is demonstrated and major design problems such as sequencing, reconfiguration, etc., are indicated. A scheme called the dynamic sequencing and segmentation model (DSSM) is proposed as a solution for providing efficient sequencing with very low overhead. The model is analyzed under various realistic environments and its performance is evaluated.

TL;DR: A class of universal finite-state machine structures employing arrays of identical modules is shown to be capable of dynamic repair by the process of reconfiguration and coverage on the order of 98 percent of all stuck-at faults is demonstrated.
Abstract: A class of universal finite-state machine structures employing arrays of identical modules is shown to be capable of dynamic repair by the process of reconfiguration. Coverage on the order of 98 percent of all stuck-at faults is demonstrated with no redesign of the array being necessary. After specifying a formal model for the array structure, a complete theory is developed capable of determining the minimal number of configurations necessary to obtain maximal coverage of stuck-at faults without redesigning the network. Inherent redundancy in the array structure results in this unusual capability. Many faults are also tolerated in each system configuration.
