The Game of Life, also known simply as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [1] It is a zero-player game, [2][3] meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an ...
The Indian Head pattern as mentioned in Ziff Davis's Radio & Television News trade magazine in January 1949. Indian Head pattern with its elements labeled, describing the use of each element in aligning a black and white analog TV receiver. The Indian-head test pattern was created by RCA at their factory in Harrison, New Jersey. Each element of ...
Infinite monkey theorem. The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.
Digital pattern generators are today available as stand-alone units, add-on hardware modules for other equipment such as a [logic analyzer] or as PC-based equipment.. Stand-alone units are self-contained devices that include everything from the user interface to define the patterns that should be generated to the electronic equipment that actually generates the output signal.
The Philips PM5540 was an early electronic video signal generator, which generated a monochrome test card [3] that is considered to be a black-and-white predecessor of the widely used Philips PM5544 and the latter's related family of Philips circle test patterns. The content and layout of the pattern, as well as the generator, was designed and ...
Central pattern generator. Central pattern generators (CPGs) are self-organizing biological neural circuits [1][2] that produce rhythmic outputs in the absence of rhythmic input. [3][4][5] They are the source of the tightly-coupled patterns of neural activity that drive rhythmic and stereotyped motor behaviors like walking, swimming, breathing ...
A conversation with Eliza. ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967 [1] at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. [2] [3] Created to explore communication between humans and machines, ELIZA simulated conversation by using a pattern matching and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no ...
Automatic test pattern generation. ATPG (acronym for both automatic test pattern generation and automatic test pattern generator) is an electronic design automation method or technology used to find an input (or test) sequence that, when applied to a digital circuit, enables automatic test equipment to distinguish between the correct circuit ...
