The equations that govern the behavior of steel under-going reduction are complex differential equations. A method of solving these equations using a hybrid computer is described, and the peculiar problems associated with such a solution are discussed. In the hybrid implementation, differential equations can be solved very fast, and the speed of solution is governed by the number of samples one re... View full abstract»

Two circuit models of a semiconductor junction rectifier are presented. For times long compared to the effective minority carrier lifetime, the usual current rectifier concept obtains. For times short compared to the lifetime, a charge rectifier is better able to explain experimental results; reverse recovery is evidence of this. Viewed in this way, semiconductor junctions are suitable for certain... View full abstract»

| | PDF (6799 KB)

As digital system speeds increase and their sizes diminish, it becomes increasingly important to understand the mechanism of signal crosstalk (noise) in interconnections between logic elements. The worst case is when two wires run parallel for a long distance. Past literature has been unsuccessful in explaining crosstalk between parallel wires above a ground plane, because it was assumed that only... View full abstract»

Functionally packaged logic can only be effectively utilized if the totality of switching functions that each package is capable of providing is recognized. Theorems concerning, and algorithms operating on, multiple output switching functions (possibly with don't care conditions) in cubical array notation are presented that 1) detect partial symmetry and redundancy sets of input varibles, 2) deter...

A property filter is developed that is suitable for recognizing translation-rotation-dilation classes of two-dimensional images. Invariant outputs corresponding to such classes are obtained by employing two successive sampled spatial harmonic transforms. The required analyses are equivalent to taking inner products of pairs of vectors only one of which is variable in each case. Subsequently, the n... View full abstract»

Self-clocking of binary information involves a coding constraint whereby the maximum length of zero strings is limited to a predetermined number. For reasons of operational stability it is desirable to keep this number low. The price of such constraint is a degradation in code density.
