RELATOR UNIT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06G7/25 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in analogue computer systems as a means of pre-processing information. The result is facilitating the execution of any of the functions of the type ext₁(x₁, ext₂(x₂, ext₃(x₃, ext₄(x₄, x₅)))), where x₁, …, x₅ are input analogue signals; ext_m=max or ext_m =min $$\left(m=\overline{\mathrm{1,4}}\right),$$ for maximum signal propagation delay time equal to the relator delay time. The device includes ten relators (1₁, …, 10₁₀), each having a comparator (2), an XOR element (3), an opening switch and a closing switch (4₁ and 4₂).

EFFECT: execution of said functions.
