Computer program simulates design, test, and analysis phases of sensitivity experiments
Modular program with a small main program and several specialized subroutines provides a general purpose computer program to simulate the design, test and analysis phases of sensitivity experiments. This program allows a wide range of design-response function combinations and the addition, deletion, or modification of subroutines.

Automatic channel switching device
Automatic channel switching device operates with all three triple modular redundant channels when there are no errors. When a failure occurs, channel and module switching isolate the failure to a specific channel. Since only one must operate correctly, reliability is increased.

Reparable, high-density microelectronic module provides effective heat sink
Reparable modular system is used for packaging microelectronic flat packs and miniature discrete components. This three-dimensional compartmented structure incorporates etched phosphor bronze sheets and frames with etched wire conductors. It provides an effective heat sink for electric power dissipation in the absence of convective cooling means.

Self testing and repairing computer - A concept
STAR computer has five redundant modular function units, fixed store, arithmetic, memory, input, and output. Each unit is connected to a diagnostic control unit, each is coded for error detection and error correction. Separation into function units permits assembly of many different systems from the set of units.
