Four outstanding switching elements, thin film cryotron, high-speed transistor, microwave parametric phase-locked oscillator, and tunnel diode, as well as some related circuit and fabrication techniques, are briefly described and commented on. The transistor remains as the predominant switching element for these systems, largely because of the vast experience with it. The other technologies are presenting an ever increasing challenge to the transistor in this area.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":"13 1","pages":"1067-1072"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81383147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increased interest was prompted by the promise of computer inputs more flexible in format than punched cards or magnetic tape. Research has shown that automatic sensing can be done reliably if the task is suitably delimited. Cleverly designed marks on standard forms can be both machine and man readable. A single type font or a few fixed ones are tractable if the print quality is controlled. Handprinting can be handled for careful writers, as can meticulous handwriting. Isolated spoken words taken from a small number of talkers and a limited vocabulary can be automatically recognized. Typical error rates for these machine-sensings run between 0.5 and 25 per cent. These results imply that reading unrestricted typestyles, handwritten scrawl, or recognizing conversational speech is beyond the reach of present methods. From the engineering viewpoint, questions of values enter. Might it not be wiser to punch cards or tape while making copy rather than depend upon complex character recognition hardware? Is it useful to have voice input to a computer when a finger and typewriter are available? Answers to such questions will depend upon the specific application. Certainly, the utility of automatic sensing will depend upon what is to be done with the material after it enters the computer as well as the internal organization of the machine itself.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":"20 1","pages":"1093-1101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81576001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be expected that engineering will more completely take over the teaching of its own basic principles, as engineering becomes more accurately described as applied science. Future progress in electrical education will be built about mathematics, and especially employ systems analysis and materials science. Without further advance in his science base, the engineer may be in danger of becoming an order-taking technician.

The human component attributes are described with both general and specific engineering models. Particular emphasis is placed on the human adaptive characteristics which make for an unusual control system. Predictive behavior is discussed in terms of actual-physical and conceptual-effective display organizations resulting in compensatory, pursuit, and precognitive system organizations. Adaptive-operator transfer characteristics are presented, and applications of the adaptive model for random-input compensatory system design are listed. As an example, the model is used to estimate operator and system characteristics for a specific system, and the estirnates are compared with experimental results derived from associated empirical data. In a discussion of performance assessment, the basic attributes which any criterion for system performance should possess are reviewed, and a modus operandi for manual control system performance assessment is proposed.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":"229 1","pages":"1117-1123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78606972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automatic data-processing techniques and equipment need to be introduced to the areas of public health and patient care. Projects dealing with medical records, medical literature retrieval, automatic chemical analysis, the recording of signs, symptoms, nurses' notes, etc., must all be tied together in regional medical computing systems as soon as possible.

In particular, the virtues and limitations for transmission of information among the physical subsystems through a human channel is an important consideration in systems design. The current status of the supporting research for this area is briefly summarized. The related but more recondite area covering communication between man and computer is also important to the effectiveness of man-machine complexes. However, supporting research for this area is meager and most of it is contained in engineering psychology studies pertinent to the needs of specific systems. Research facilities more appropriate for the exploratory needs of both areas are becoming available and these presage the broad intensive programs needed to provide research guidance to the systems design of man-machine complexes.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":"23 1","pages":"1124-1128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83938089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
