Many efforts have been made to discriminate, categorize, and quantitate patterns, and to reduce them into a usable machine language. The results have ordinarily been methods or devices with a high degree of specificity. For example, some devices require a special type font; others can read only one type font; still others require magnetic ink.

A program for the IBM 704 to solve general transient and steady state heat transfer problems is described. The computer program was developed by Evendale Computations Operation in cooperation with the Jet Engine Department, General Electric Company, Flight Propulsion Division. Jet Engine Department personnel who were instrumental in the formulation of the problem are Mr. William K. Koffel and Dr. J. M. Botje. Dr. James T. Anderson, of Michigan State University, acted as a consultant and played a central role in the development of the program. The method of solution permits the analysis of problems with arbitrary geometry and several combined modes of heat transfer. To facilitate the description and solution of extensive and complicated problems, many logical and computational techniques not usually applied to engineering calculations are incorporated in the program.

This talk is a progress report and in many respects a final report on the Univac® --- LARC system which has been developed by Remington Rand Univac. It is a companion not only to another talk on LARC design being given at this time but with an earlier talk given three years ago to the EJCC in New York.

In recent years, numeric analysis has been claiming an increasing share of overall mathematical research activity. The reason for this is apparently the need to have answers --- numeric answers --- to problems of modern technology, along with the development of the stored-program digital computer for carrying through the computations of numeric methods. But this emphasis on numbers is also an indication of the attitude of problem solvers: to use the computer, use numeric methods. And yet these methods are not always adequate. It may be more important to know how x depends on other variables than to know that x = 3.

It is a truism that for any but the smallest digital data processing systems major attention must be be given to the provision of an adequate magnetic tape transport, reading and writing system, and means for insuring the correctness of information all the way from the central processor to the magnetic tape and back again. This paper will describe some of the above mentioned features of the Honeywell 800.

In many present-day activities involving the use of digital computers, the need often arises to run programs on a computer other than the one for which they are written. For example, the computer on which a program is intended to be run may exist only as a proposed design, or it may be in some stage of construction, or it may simply be at a remote location. One solution to the problem posed by such a situation is to prepare a program for an available computer which, in effect, transforms the available computer into the unavailable computer. Such a transformation program is called a computer simulation program, since it gives one computer the ability to simulate another.

This paper presents results of an effort aimed at developing the principles and technology required to speed the rate of computers up to the order of a thousand megacycles. The approach is based on the use of two types of two-terminal semi-conductor devices: the variable-capacity diode and the tunnel diode, in combination with microwave techniques for the couplings within the computer.

The use of thin magnetic films as storage elements is well known. Several papers on the subject have appeared in the literature, particularly in recent years. Less emphasized, perhaps, is the use of magnetic films as logic elements. The authors' study in this area has revealed that film elements are both flexible and versatile as logic devices.
