ABSTRACT:
A multiple-character-word indication system employs a humanly sensible output in which plural associated characters which constitute a word representing time, temperature, or other information are indicated sequentially through the use of sensible (audible, palpable, visible) indicia in coded form. The words are generated in electronic form by known means. Individual characters are sequentially selected and then supplied to electronic circuitry which generates a code of sequential signals corresponding to the character. This code is then applied to one or more transducers which convert the signals to the sensible indicia. The output indication can be initiated either periodically or upon demand. The readout transducer preferably produces plural types of sensible sensations, such as tones of different pitch, to distinguish the respective characters of the word. In a preferred embodiment the system is a clock which indicates different digits of the time of day by sequential coded tones.
