• ### The Synthesis and Analysis of Digital Systems by Boolean Matrices

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):231 - 241
Cited by:  Papers (10)
| | PDF (1955 KB)

In this paper methods are described by which Boolean matrices can be used to synthesize digital systems. The matrices offer a means by which the design of such systems can be systematized much in the same way as do matrix methods when applied to electrical circuit design. They also present a means by which the problems of optimum logical design and programming can be approached. View full abstract»

• ### Simulation of Transistor Switching Circuits on the IBM 704

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):242 - 247
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (1062 KB)

When the configuration of a circuit and the equivalent representations of the transistors are known, a computer program can be written to yield the performance of the circuit and the mean values of the circuit parameters. Nonlinearity of the transistors is accounted for by piece-wise linearization of an equivalent circuit. Rules of interconnection have been devised to combine this procedure effici...

• ### An optimum character recognition system using decision functions

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):247 - 254
Cited by:  Papers (124)  |  Patents (1)
| | PDF (1285 KB)

The character recognition problem, usually resulting from characters being corrupted by printing deterioration and/or inherent noise of the devices, is considered from the viewpoint of statistical decision theory. The optimization consists of minimizing the expected risk for a weight function which is preassigned to measure the consequences of system decisions As an alternative minimization of the...

• ### An Analysis of Certain Errors in Electronic Differential Analyzers I-Bandwidth Limitations

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):255 - 260
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| | PDF (696 KB)

When a differential analyzer or analog computer is set up to solve a given equation, certain errors are introduced into the solution because the components of the computer are not perfect. Stated another way, the computer produces the solution to an equation, called the "machine equation," which differs from the given equation. In this paper the computer imperfections considered are 1) operational... View full abstract»

• ### Synthesis of Vector Networks

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):261 - 265
| | PDF (714 KB)

The convenience of vector notation in formulating physical geometrical problems results principally because the significance of the problem can be isolated from the analysis used in its solution. When analog computer techniques are employed in problems of this nature, the advantages of the vector methods frequently are lost because the computer inherently is more adaptable to solving problems desc...

• ### Switching Functions of Three Variables

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):265 - 275
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (1486 KB)

A switching function is a function of variables which take only the values 0 and 1, and which takes only these values itself. There are 256 different switching functions of three variables, but only 218 of these really depend on all three variables. A switching function of three variables can be expressed in terms of switching functions of two variables. For example F1{F2[A, F3(B, C)], F4(B, C)} c... View full abstract»

• ### Analysis of Sequential Machines

Publication Year: 1957, Page(s):276 - 285
Cited by:  Papers (30)
| | PDF (1570 KB)

This paper begins with Mealy's model of a sequential machine and introduces a connection matrix'' which describes the machine completely. The equivalence'' of states of such a machine may be analyzed systematically by an iterative technique, the validity of which is rigorously established. Once equivalence is completely analyzed, it is a simple matter to write the connection matrix for the sim... View full abstract»
