Parallel decimal arithmetic capability is becoming increasingly attractive with new applications of computers in a multiprogramming environment. The direct production of decimal sums offers a significant improvement in addition over methods requiring decimal correction. These techniques are illustrated in the eight-digit adder which appears in the System/360 Model 195.

In this work we present a high-speed optical receiver with external large-area photodiode. The optical receiver is realized in 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The input circuit is a two-transistor transimpedance amplifier using an common-emitter and an emitter-follower configuration. An external silicon PIN photodiode of a squared area of 0.25mm2 with a rise time of 0.4ns at 850nm light is used....

This paper discusses the identification of trash objects in cotton using machine vision-based systems. Soft computing techniques such as neural networks and fuzzy inference systems can classify trash objects into individual categories such as bark, stick, leaf, and pepper trash types with great accuracies. High speed trash measurements, enables the implementation of these techniques for on-line...

A statistical model is developed to assess synchronization requirements for high-speed OTDM packet network regeneration. The model is then applied to analyze asynchronous and synchronous regenerator architectures.

An augmented iterative array for binary division (IAD), is described. It uses carry-save reduction and carry-lookahead principles to achieve high speed. Logic cost and speed comparisons with two other design techniques are presented. An 8-bit prototype model that operates in under 500 ns has been built from commercially available high-speed MSI TTL integrated circuits to verify the feasibility ...

BACKGROUND Cell sorting has a history dating back approximately 40 years. The main limitation has been that, although flow cytometry is a science, cell sorting has been an art during most of this time. Recent advances in assisting technologies have helped to decrease the amount of expertise necessary to perform sorting. METHODS Droplet-based sorting is based on a controlled disturbance of a j...
