Threshold Logic - Sze-Tsen Hu

Threshold Logic By Sze-tsen Hu Offers The First Comprehensive Treatment Of Logical Elements Based On The Threshold Principle, Devices That Had Attracted Growing Attention In The Wake Of Mcculloch And Pittsrsquo;s 1943 Neuron Models And Von Neumannrsquo;s Investigations Into Reliability. Threshold Devicesmdash;including Parameacute;trons, Magnetic Core Switches, And Esaki Diode Circuitsmdash;function As Complex Logical Units That Extend Well Beyond The Simplicity Of Andrdquo; And Orrdquo; Gates. Because A Single Device Can Generate Relatively Intricate Switching Functions, They Hold The Potential To Increase The Speed And Efficiency Of Electronic Digital Computers While Reducing The Number Of Components Required.
