The clock generator accuracy determines the precision with which this device can produce a linear-segment curve. With 300-kc flip-flops in the clock, a static repeatability of ±0.02 per cent has been obtained with a carrier frequency of 100 cps, and ±1 per cent with a 10-kc carrier frequency. This device can multiply the single-variable function by a second input variable at no loss of accuracy and with no additional circuitry.","PeriodicalId":177496,"journal":{"name":"IRE Trans.

Some elementary structural characteristics are developed and a particular class of functions which are minimally realized in separate parts is discussed. Upper and lower bounds are derived for the the number of contacts required to realize an arbitrary n-variable specification. Rudin's interconnection rules are extended to the non-series-parallel case and examples are given of their application. Trees are discussed in terms of a specific procedure proposed for their realization. Finally, Calingaert's reduction of the general multi-output problem to a single-output problem is reviewed in terms of the specific class of networks of interest here, and results, in conjunction with Moore's tables of minimal four-variable networks, in a table of minimal three-variable complementary-output networks.","PeriodicalId":177496,"journal":{"name":"IRE Trans.

This paper is concerned with these two factors in the design of magnetic heads for noncontact recording.1 A concept of changed pole-tip geometry which led to a significant improvement of pulse resolution is introduced. A general expression based on ``single-pulse'' superposition is derived for various bit densities2 and data codes. In addition, several recording methods are discussed for achieving near-maximum track density2 under various head-repositioning error3 conditions. As shown, high-density heads for noncontact recording have been designed successfully by applying the concept and techniques developed. Good correlation has been realized between analytical and experimental results. Performance characteristics under simulated machine conditions are presented.","PeriodicalId":177496,"journal":{"name":"IRE Trans. Electron.
