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 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...
The design of a preamplifier for use with a piezoelectric transducer is generally approached from the point of view that an extremely high input impedance is required to obtain low frequency response. However, piezoelectric transducers are essentially charge generators and this fact may be utilized in designing preamplifiers to 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 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...
The logic control system of a computer automatically sequences
logic operations which direct how and when memory stored instructions
and data are processed in the digital registers.
This thesis contains circuit schematics and test results of a
nanosecond response logic - control system for the Galaxy Computer.
The circuit designs...
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....
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,...
