December 17, 2001[40 Years Ago] Transistors Undergo Mass Testing
Reliability in transistors is being greatly enhanced by the combined use of automatic testing systems, and data-processing and computer techniques. In the evolution of automated testing, two systems have been introduced—one specifically...
December 17, 2001[40 Years Ago] New Connectors Withstand Adverse Environments
A new rack-and-panel connector design almost eliminates physical damage caused by environmental conditions, shock, and vibration. The connector provides multiple points of contact at all times, protecting the contacts against damage and improving...
December 3, 2001[40 Years Ago] Extending High-Frequency Response
High-frequency transistor limits can be extended and circuit gain increased through a new technique that neutralizes the detrimental effect of emitter inductance. This parameter has a serious effect on the high-frequency performance of transistor...
December 3, 2001[40 Years Ago] Infrared Camera Spots Malfunctions
By photographing a circuit board with an infrared scanning camera, engineers can, within 10 to 60 sec, detect overheated components. This infrared technique is presently being used by engineers at International Business Machines Corp. to measure...
November 19, 2001[40 Years Ago] Illiac II Computer Shaping Up For Tests
Iliac II, the University of Illinois' scientific computer, is expected to be ready for its first system tests next spring. At that time, the arithmetic units, some of the control units, core storage, and some of the tape units should be...
November 5, 2001[40 Years Ago] Switching, Frequency Barriers Fall
Solid-state devices for faster switching or higher frequency operation were prominent among developments unveiled at the Electron Devices Meeting in Washington, Oct. 26-28. New advances in microwave, data-handling, and energy-source devices also...
November 5, 2001[40 Years Ago] Photoconductive Cells For Industrial Use
About 1000 times more light-sensitive than photovoltaic cells, these photoconductive cells are designed for light-dependent control applications. They are available in four basic sizes: a "Compactron" type, a 9-pin type in a conventional tube...
October 29, 2001[40 Years Ago] Packaging Is A Problem In R&D, Too
The packaging approaches of advanced-systems development laboratories are worth examining. During the coming turmoil and transition, these laboratories must solve the following problems if they are to justify the large sums invested in...
October 29, 2001[40 Years Ago] Fluid-Sphere Gyro Has High Sensitivity
A radical departure from conventional gyro design has resulted in a device that can detect motion too minute to be measured. The miniature gyro's unique sensing ability makes it especially suitable for stabilizing space platforms carrying...
October 15, 2001[40 Years Ago] Flying-Spot Scanners Speed Inputs
Character-recognition machines, based on high-resolution flying-spot scanners and sophisticated logic circuitry, promise variable-type-face, high-speed data input directly from machine-printed documents. Techniques used in the Apple...
October 15, 2001[40 Years Ago] Magnetic Computer Uses Multiaperture Cores
An airborne, guidance-type computer that would use magnetic circuitry for logic as well as for memory is being built by Sperry Gyroscope Co., Great Neck, N.Y. Basic clock rate of the system is to be 600 kc sine wave, which is said to make possible...
October 1, 2001[40 Years Ago] Four New HP Solid State Counters
All the advantages of solid-state design are now yours in these new hp solid state counters—offered at prices comparable to those of today's vacuum tube counters. And you get the advantages of greater readability, faster measurements, easier...
October 1, 2001[40 Years Ago] High-Temperature Glass Used To Seal Diodes
High-temperature sealing of silicon-diode sheets has been achieved with a technique that may provide hermetically sealed semiconductor devices without the use of cans. The method is adaptable to volume production, and tests indicate that excellent...
September 17, 2001[40 Years Ago] Design Of Arecibo Radar On Schedule
By early next spring, the huge 430-mc radar being built near Arecibo, Puerto Rico, for the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Defense Department should be collecting data on electron density in the iono-sphere. This is an estimate made in...
August 20, 2001[40 Years Ago] Thin-Film Memory Gives Fast Output
A magnetic thin-film cylinder that contains features of the thin-film dot, the ferrite core, and the magnetic rod is bidding for an important role in future computer memories. Under development by CBS Laboratories of Stamford, Conn., the device,...
August 20, 2001[40 Years Ago] San Francisco: Golden Gate To Electronic Research
Engineers attending the forthcoming Western Electronics Show and Convention will find the San Francisco area a thriving center of electronic research. Intensive studies are under way today in solid state, microwaves, information handling, and other...
August 6, 2001[40 Years Ago] Tiros III Carries New Solid-State Timer
An all-solid-state timer on the newly orbited Tiros III weather satellite represents a significant electronic advance, according to its designers at RCA. Tiros III is making possible studies of the formation of tropical storms over the Caribbean,...
August 6, 2001[40 Years Ago] Fiber Optics Pointed Toward Bright Future
Fiber optics held an important place in the Aug. 7-11 symposium of the Society of Photographic Instrumentation Engineers in Los Angeles. Four companies showed fused-fiber image conduits: Mosaic Fabrications Inc. and American Optical Co., both of...
