Abstract
A globally-addressable array of electronic circuit elements having distributed intelligence. Each circuit element location is connected to a common bus structure which can address each circuit element and transfer data to and from each element. Logic circuitry at each circuit element location recognizes data addressed to a respective circuit element location, and converts data received into an operating level for a respective transducer element. Data transfer to each element location can be made using conventional compression techniques. The data transfer can be bidirectional so that a sensed condition may be transferred from the location over the common bus structure.
