RANK SORTER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G06G7/25 

FIELD: computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: providing simultaneous conversion of unsorted serial set of n+1 analog signals x₁, ...,x_n+1 into their parallel set sorted by their rank markers and conversion of unsorted parallel set of n+1 analog signals z₁,...,z_n+1 (z₁<x_j; i,j∈{1,...,n+1}) into their serial set sorted by their rank markers. The device consists of n+1 relators each one containing closing and opening keys, two devices for selection/storing, MIN-element, MAX-element, Boolean invertor.

EFFECT: device functionality enhancement.
