This thesis describes the control circuitry for a
telemetry system developed to report hydrologic information
from remote locations. The multiparameter,
on-call system operates on a single frequency. Each
remote station responds to a predetermined number of
pulses from the master station. Data is transmitted by
pulse- duration modulation.
In the...
This paper describes the system design of a Fortran hardware
compiler which converts the original code of a source program into
an intermediate code. This code contains features that allow easy
machine code generation. An evaluation is first made on the marketability
of such a system and then a brief...
Occasions arise in engineering for conducting probabilistic analyses concerned
with the "state" character of systems which range in scale from the circuit level (and even
below) through the black box level and on up through the system level.
These stochastic systems are systems with random as well as deterministic features....
Because of its characteristics, the square-loop magnetic core
can be used as the basic device in a logic system. A magnetomotive
force (mmf) which is below the threshold mmf of such a core will
cause a negligible, nonpermanent amount of flux change in the core;
and information signals can be...
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...
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...
A high speed adaptive signal processing concept and several high
speed adaptive logic circuit elements are presented.
The adaptive signal processing system operates in a "goal" oriented
mode; the system tries to optimize its characteristics to
achieve a given goal in spite of unforeseen variations in the inputs,
the system,...
