Abstract
An electrical totalizer for forming an output signal with occurrences separated by a minimum time interval and representative of the total number of random occurrences in first and second circuits. First and second input circuits receive occurrences from, respectively, such first and second circuits. First and second bistable state circuits respond to separate strobes for changing states for each occurrence at, respectively, the first and second input circuits. A combining circuit is coupled to the first and second bistable state circuits for forming an output representation for each different occurrence at the input circuits. A separator forms, in an output signal, an output occurrence responsive to an applied strobe for each of the output representations. A strobing circuit is operative during repetitive cycles for applying, during each cycle, a strobe to each of the first and second bistable state circuits and to the separator in a predetermined sequence.
