Most engineers with a few years’ experience have encountered “feature creep”—the tendency to keep adding extra features onto a piece of equipment so the original product becomes more complicated and ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

In 1961, the best general purpose desktop computer money could buy was the Pace TR-48. At just 400 pounds and $25K, the only downside was that it was a little tough to program. That's because the ...

We have analog quantum computers that can be used to solve very specific problems, and several different approaches to general purpose quantum computers, including those with semiconducting qubits, ...

Creation of a single-chip analog/hybrid computer reveals that special analog versions of computers could be used to solve complex problems such as nonlinear differential equations. Just recently, I ...

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...
