We’ve all heard of the dangers of static electricity when dealing with electronics, and we all take the proper precautions when working with static-sensitive components — don’t we? But as …read more Continue reading The Other Kind Of Static Hazard to Your Logic Circuits
It looks like [Michal Zalewski] is raising the next generation the right way. First, his eldest son asks for help building a one-bit computer from discrete transistors. Not to be …read more Continue reading Partial Relay-Based Calculator Puts the Click Where it Counts
Join us on Wednesday, December 9th at noon Pacific for the Vacuum Tube Logic Hack Chat with David Lovett!
For most of us, circuits based on vacuum tubes are remnants of a technological history that is rapidly fading from our collective memory. To be sure, there are still applications for …read more
Hello everyone. We’ve got another Boolean math session lined up for you today. This time we’re going to take a quick look at the NOT logic and examine how this one differs from the other operations. To review, Boolean math is based on a binary system… Continue reading Boolean Math (NOT Logic) – CISSP Domain 3
Today we are going to take another look at some Boolean mathematics. In particular, we’re going to focus on the OR operational logic, as covered in Domain 3 of the CISSP common body of knowledge (CBK). As a brief recap, Boolean math is based on a bin… Continue reading Boolean Math (OR Logic) – CISSP Domain 3
Today we’re going to take a quick look at the AND Boolean logic, which is covered in Domain 3 of the CISSP common body of knowledge (CBK). To begin with, Boolean math is used to define the rules on how computer systems evaluate data. Because Boolean i… Continue reading Boolean Math (AND Logic) – CISSP Domain 3
Dr. Claude E. Shannon was born 100 years ago tomorrow. He contributed greatly to the fields of engineering, communications, and computer science but is not a well known figure, even to those in the field. However, his work touches us all many times each day. The network which delivered this article to your computer or smartphone was designed upon important theories developed by Dr. Shannon.
Shannon was born and raised in Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan with degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering. He continued his graduate studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he obtained …read more
