Many of the goals, which were theoretical assumptions last year, are now well along the way to reality.

The laboratory must also keep pace with the latest fruits of medical research which must be added to the clinical diagnostic armamentarium. This laboratory information explosion imposes great demands upon the laboratory staff. Little hope exists for expanding the staff to meet all these demands. Instead, more efficient use must be made of trained personnel. This can best be obtained by automation of clinical test procedures and automation of the accompanying paper work.","PeriodicalId":265740,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '67 (Fall)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131185510","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 has been shown that analog and hybrid techniques offer promise of lifting some of this computational and storage load. Past approaches using these techniques have been limited in speed and in kinds of curves drawn. Roberts has proposed a hybrid analog-digital generator based on homogeneous coordinate mathematics. Such a generator has been designed and built using the wideband multiplying decoder as its basic component.","PeriodicalId":265740,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '67 (Fall)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131341480","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}
