ABSTRACT:
An m-to-n concentrator constructed from smaller concentrator/sorters wherein m is not necessarily equal to 2n. For instance, the m-to-n concentrator can be implemented from an └m/2┘-to-n concentrator/sorter, an ┌m12┐-to-n concentrator/sorter, and n sorting cells to thereby produce the desired arrangement of outputs required of the m-to-n concentrator.
