Mechanical watches, for example, are analog computers in which the seconds, minutes, and hours needles in the clock are driven by the constant and periodic rotation of interconnected gears.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified ...

Nevertheless, it was and still is a cool technology. Analog computers represented constants and variables with proportional analog voltage levels. These were then processed by various electronic ...

Analog computers have been around in some form for a very long time. One very obvious place they were used was in military vehicles. While submarine fire computers and the Norden bombsight get all ...

Think, for example, of temperature, voltage, speed and weight as forms of continuous data. When making computations, analog computers are thus immune to rounding errors. Our digital computers — which ...

It’s something [Rainer Glaschick] has pursued, with his Flexible Analog Computer, an analogue computer made from a set of modules mounted on breadboard strips.

Theory for metamaterials that act as an analog computer Date: January 9, 2014 Source: University of Pennsylvania Summary: A new study shows that metamaterials can be designed to do "photonic ...
