The High Temperature Lattice Test Reactor (HTLTR) at Richland,
Washington, operates at temperatures up to 1000°C. Its low nuclear
power requires a 384 kilowatt electrical heating system, that is
divided into four circuits, to attain the high temperatures in the
ten-foot cube of moderating graphite. This thesis describes the
design...
This thesis considers the worst-case design of transistor
circuits for the realization of Majority Logic.
First the meaning of Majority Logic is discussed. The requirement
of an odd number of inputs for the realization of Majority
Logic is justified. The usefulness of Majority Logic in synthesizing
a Boolean expression is...
The worst case analysis of rounding error of eleven numerical
quadrature formulas on a computer with floating-point arithmetic,
base b, and t digit mantissa is calculated. These results are
applied to five different integrands using the digital computer CDC
3300 located at Oregon State University. Central processing unit
computing time,...
The GALAXY computer is a large, high speed, general
purpose, digital computer intended to be used for solving
scientific problems. It requires a random access memory
system of 16,384 words of 59 bits each with a cycle time
of one microsecond or less. A memory system capable of
meeting these...
This paper is the result of extensive experiments, investigating the effect on typical distribution transformers when operated overexcited as much as 117% of their rated voltage.
A complete procedure of minimizing input logic in designing
both completely and incompletely specified synchronous, finite state
sequential networks is presented in detail. This procedure consists
of three important steps: 1) state simplification, 2) state assignment
and 3) input logic realization. Two new ideas are presented
in the procedure of...
