The Other Kind Of Static Hazard to Your Logic Circuits

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

Automated Attacks Call for Automated Protection – 2020 Trend #3

In our blog series on security trends, we’ve been diving deeper into the five security predictions for 2020 made by our CTO Kunal Anand during his fireside chat with Imperva CMO David Gee. Watch it here. As I’ll discuss in my upcoming blog … Continue reading Automated Attacks Call for Automated Protection – 2020 Trend #3

Relay Computer Starts with an Adder that Makes a Racket

Computers built using discrete logic chips? Seen it. Computers from individual transistors? Impressive, but it’s been done. A computer built out of electromechanical relays? Bring on the ozone!

The aptly named [Clickity Clack]’s new YouTube channel promises to be very interesting if he can actually pull off a working computer using nothing but relays. But even if he doesn’t get beyond the three videos in the playlist already, the channel is definitely worth checking out. We’ve never seen a simpler, clearer explanation of binary logic, and [Clickity Clack]’s relay version of the basic logic gates is a great introduction to …read more
