摘要:

Wartime radars used by all three Services are briefly described and their contributions towards post-war development indicated. The second part of the paper deals with proximity fuzes, army radars, and airborne reconnaissance equipment.

摘要:

The development of control engineering design techniques over the last two decades is traced and their application is examined to show how they may be reflected back into the undergraduate teaching of engineers. Control engineering can be regarded as a thought-provoking orderly discipline fulfilling the same functions for science students as does latin to the arts student.

摘要:

This is an edited report of a discussion on a summer evening between Mr. Michael Woodger the Computer Science Division of the National Physical Laboratory, who was closely involved in the formative days of electronic computers, and Dr. J. R. Parks and Professor Douglas Lewin.

摘要:

Against the background of the development of nuclear power stations, radiation measurement, electrical interference reduction, reactor control and increasingly sophisticated techniques using computers and statistical methods, the achievement of electronic equipment which can be ‘fitted and forgotten’ is now becoming a reality.

摘要:

Trends in oceanographic instrumentation over the past 10 years have included the adoption of digital methods, the use of submersibles, precise underwater position fixing and the use of satellites, the latter however being very restricted. The development effort on large data buoys is discussed, and some important recent developments in acoustic techniques are presented. The final section deals with outstanding problems in oceanographic instrumentation, in particular that of current measurement.

摘要:

The application of electronics to medicine did not follow an expected course of being delayed somewhat upon original technological developments. Instead, apart from specific applications, the subject found no general application until the value of electronics in radar and communications had been clearly demonstrated. Thus the main impetus came with a delay approaching fifty years so that the medical applications have occurred mainly in the past twenty-five years.

摘要:

Past, present and future uses of artificial satellites for relaying microwave communications are discussed and consideration given to direct broadcasting. In the not too distant future establishing communication with extra-terrestrial intelligence may well be a challenge for the engineer.

摘要:

Data-processing applications are rapidly becoming too complex to be supported by current computer architectures. A new type of machine structure, based on parallel associative processing and array principles, is proposed to overcome the limitations of attempting to map a non-numerical problem on to a numerically-orientated machine. This approach could lead to hyper-high-level languages and perhaps contribute to the solution of the ‘combinatorial explosion’ problem.

摘要:

New topic areas in which the electronic engineer is being involved are noted and major advances in both component and large scale system design are highlighted. The spread of interest into seemingly unrelated fields, particularly those involving human sensory interfacing, is evident and both component and systems designers will become increasingly involved in inter-disciplinary approaches in the future.
