The development of new electronic devices and design procedures
applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable
to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems.
The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital
computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...
This thesis is an investigation of the characteristics of transistor-coupled logic using both theoretic and experimental methods. The steady state and transient behavior of the transistor are first investigated, especially as applied to the common emitter configuration. A number of references giving further information are cited.
Next, the characteristics of...
The emergence of the three-input majority gate as a practical element for logical design has demanded a useful method of design using these elements. In order to facilitate the use of this gate, a digital computer program is presented to implement the design procedure. Utilizing the truth table of a...
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...
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,...
