A device that processes infinitely varying signals, such as voltage or frequencies. A thermometer is a simple analog computer. As the temperature varies, the mercury moves correspondingly. A slide ...

On the edge: calculations show how the acoustic system could be used to detect the edges of an image comprising the letters "EPFL" A compact analogue computer based on an acoustic metamaterial has ...

Pace TR-48 Analogue Computer, by Electronic Associates Inc (EAI), United States, 1960-1965. Designed to work on a 'desk top', this model was used by Brunel University, London, until 1989. Pace TR-48 ...

Could updated analog computer technology – popular from about 1940-1970 –be developed to build high-speed CPUs for certain specialized applications? Researchers at the Defense Advanced Research ...

When old tech dies, it usually stays dead. No one expects rotary phones or adding machines to come crawling back from oblivion. Floppy diskettes, VHS tapes, cathode-ray tubes—they shall rest in peace.

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

Analog computers have been used extensively in the past, for things like tide calculations, but in the semiconductor era things have mostly gone digital. Even where you have analog elements, like DRAM ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

Makers and computer enthusiasts interested in building their very own analogue computer, may be interested in a new modular analogue computer kit showcased by the grappendorf.net website this week.

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...
