However, due to the fact that the system includes a number of non-linear and discontinuous elements, it has been impractical to obtain analytical solutions of the equations without making simplifying assumptions which severely limited the value of the results. For this reason the shock strut energy absorbing characteristics have generally been developed experimentally by laboratory drop tests of an actual landing gear, and the landing gear evaluation has been accomplished by extensive laboratory and flight tests. This design method is obviously far from ideal, since all structure effected by landing loads must originally be designed to assumed landing gear characteristics, and the landing gear test results do not become available in time to allow design changes to be made economically.","PeriodicalId":294022,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the February 4-6, 1953, western computer conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1953-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129048601","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}

Even today, with this field in its infancy, the shortage of properly trained scientists and engineers is the bottleneck. This talk points out the technical difficulty of the new field and the need for training engineers and scientists in new specialties in order to progress rapidly and efficiently in the development. Ultimately, the universities must turn out a new kind of doctor whose studies include the physical sciences, with emphasis on electronics, a study of the human brain, nature's example of a thinking machine, methods and procedures in business and industry, and government and labor rules and regulations. Industry must particularly avoid large programs until and unless capable technical experts can be assigned to the problem. The field is too difficult to be advanced by the average scientist and engineer. The automatic intelligence field properly developed will pay off several times over in the manpower that it uses. For each top technical man assigned for a period of computer development today, the services of scores of people can be spared during an equivalent later period. From the standpoint of the nation's security, as well as to insure the most rapid technical advances, it is justificable to assign a substantial part of the technical effort of this nation's scientific body to computer development. This is a way to increase the nation's brainpower.","PeriodicalId":294022,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the February 4-6, 1953, western computer conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1953-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124327483","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}

Only a few actual applications of this sort have so far been attempted, probably for two main reasons. First, punched-card machines are already so highly developed that, despite the potentially greater speed of the newer electronic techniques, it is difficult to introduce novel ways of accomplishing what can now be done by standard business machines. Second, and probably more important, appropriate input and output equipment to couple the world of the digital computer to the world of men often does not exist. To use a computer for scientific or engineering calculations, it is sufficient to provide it with input in the form of a device for reading punched cards or tape, and an output in the form of an electric typewriter or a card punch. Most existing computers have terminal equipment no more sophisticated than this. To use such a machine for accounting purposes, however, requires a far more imaginative solution of the input-output problem; a satisfactory solution can be achieved only on the basis of a deep understanding of the nature of the accounting activity that is being mechanized.","PeriodicalId":294022,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the February 4-6, 1953, western computer conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1953-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122772826","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}

A sensitive pulse method has been developed for obtaining static remanent polarization data of ferroelectric materials. This method has been applied to study the effect of pulse duration and amplitude and decay of polarization on ferroelectric ceramic materials with fairly high crystalline orientation. These studies indicate that ferroelectric memory devices can be operated in the megacycle ranges. Attempts have been made to develop electrostatically induced memory devices using ferroelectric substances as a medium for storing information. As an illustration, a ferroelectric memory using a new type of switching matrix is presented having a selection ratio 50 or more.","PeriodicalId":294022,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the February 4-6, 1953, western computer conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1953-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127172249","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}
