The material in this paper is divided into the following four chapters for convenience. Chapter 1 explains, how the idea of fault testing changed from testing the machine instructions to testing the hardware in logic circuits. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 present the different approaches considered, namely:
1. Path sensitizing...
A technique is presented for obtaining high resolution root locus plots and
Bode diagrams. This is done by translating the origin of coordinates to the area
of interest by an appropriate change of variable. The method is applicable to
hand calculations or use of a potential analog computer.
Examples include...
The experimental procedure for reactively sputtering
films of silicon nitride together with the methods for
measuring the film thickness have been investigated.
Some of the properties of these nitride films were studied.
These properties included: infrared spectrum,
etching properties, and index of refraction. The adherence
of the films was also...
The operation of a tunnel-diode delay-line memory cell is
examined in some detail, and a digital computer program which
approximately simulates the operation of this memory cell is developed.
The data from the computer simulation is compared with the
available experimental data and found to agree very closely for clock...
Changes in the diode characteristics of three different
types of diodes were studied. These were point-contact, bonded and zinc-diffused diodes. The parameters
in which measurable changes were observed were the forward
resistance, the reverse breakdown voltage, the
forward "knee" of the diode curve and the constant of
proportionality relating the...
SIDAC-I is a digital analog simulator which permits analog as
well as hybrid simulations to be programmed on a digital computer.
FORTRAN, a scientific computer language, may be included as an
integral part of the SIDAC-I simulation language. The simulator
consists of a controller program and a set of predefined...
In view of recent developments in large-scale, complex digital systems, it is of interest to broaden the study of two-leveled logical systems to the study of three-leveled systems. This paper introduces the ternary logic system and develops a design approach for ternary digital systems that is based on familiar binary...
Analysis, coupled with an experimental investigation, is an important step in the design process of
electronic circuits. Fortunately, with the development
of computer programs to perform general network analysis,
the job of analyzing relatively complex networks is not
as formidable as it once was. This investigation develops guidelines for efficiently...
