Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for accumulating (counting) the occurrences of different types of events (such as trips travelled by an automobile) and storing these counts in substantially permanent form. The apparatus includes a logic element for determining both the occurrence of an event (trip travelled) and the type of event (length of trip), and a non-volatile memory such as a 'fusable-link' PROM or UV-erasable PROM, associated with and connected to the logic element, for accumulating and substantially permanently storing the statistical information.
