Fully automatic telemetry data processor

Satellite Telemetry Automatic Reduction System /STARS 2/, a fully automatic computer-controlled telemetry data processor, maximizes data recovery, reduces turnaround time, increases flexibility, and improves operational efficiency. The system incorporates a CDC 3200 computer as its central element

Concept for high speed computer printer

Printer uses Kerr cell as light shutter for controlling the print on photosensitive paper. Applied to output data transfer, the information transfer rate of graphic computer printers could be increased to speeds approaching the data transfer rate of computer central processors /5000 to 10,000 lines per minute/

The Logic of Time: from Aristotle to Computer Science

Charla tipo conferencia-seminario dada para alumnos de un másterThis short course will explore that continuous thread which connects the discussion about time in philosophy with the modern use of temporal logic in computer science. It will go through the history of temporal logic to show how ideas developed by ancient and medieval philosophy have been rediscovered in modern times and applied to solve relevant problems in computer science. Part 1: An historical perspective on temporal logic • Synthesis: the nature of time is a central issue of classical and medieval phylosophy • Downfall: in the Renaissance the subject loses interest and is removed from the philo- sophical discussion • Rediscovery: in the 19th and 20th centory temporal logic become a central issue again Part 2: Time in Computer Science • Algorithms, states and computations • Imperative programs and Reactive programs • Temporal Logic for Computer Science: CTL and LTL • The satisfiability problem • The model checking problemUniversidad de Málaga.

Grosch's law: a statistical illusion?.

In this paper a central law on economies of scale in computer hardware pricing, Grosch's law is discussed. The history and various validation efforts are examined in detail. It is shown how the last set of validations during the eighties may be interpreted as a statistical misinterpretation, although this effect may have been present in all validation attempts, including the earliest ones. Simulation experiments reveal that constant returns to scale in combination with decreasing computer prices may give the illusion of Grosch's law when performing regression models against computer prices over many years. The paper also shows how the appropriate definition of computer capacity, and in particular Kleinrock's power definition, plays a central role in economies of scale for computer prices.Law;

Central Monitor Based on Personal Computer Using One Wireless Receiver

Central monitor is a tool in the health field that serves to monitor the patient's condition which is centralized in one monitor display centrally. In this scientific paper raised wireless systems for sending data to one monitor. In this module there are Electrocardiograph (EKG) parameters which are a parameter to detect and measure the electrical activity of the heart muscle using measurements of biopotential signals obtained from the surface of the body. From these measurements, an ECG signal will be obtained to produce a heart rate per minute (BPM). ECG signals are obtained from measurements of the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the patient's skin using the bipolar lead method. ECG signals will be processed using a  microcontroller circuit as processors. Then the data will be sent to the PC using wireless HC-11. The data received by the PC, then processed using the Delphi application which will then display ECG charts and BPM results and abnormalities indicators if the BPM is in a condition above or below normal. By comparing the module with a standard measuring instrument, the biggest error is 0.99% which is still in tolerance because the tolerance limit is 5

Microprocessor-to-system/370 interface

The design and operation of a microprocessor interface unit which allows use of a computer terminal for communication at 110 or 300 baud both with a central host computer and with the microprocessor monitor are documented. Additionally, the interface permits the host computer to load the microprocessor memory directly with object code, avoiding the use of intermediate data storage such as paper tape. The central computer, containing an assembler language processor for the target microcomputer, can be used from the terminal with all the flexibility offered by the virtual machine facility, producing object code for the micro plus program listings and supporting outputs. The object code can then be loaded directly to the micro and the same terminal device used to run the micro program, communicating with the micro's monitor routine
