Most of these early synchronous CPUs ran at low clock rates compared to modern microelectronic designs ( see below for a discussion of clock rate ).

These early experimental designs later gave rise to the era of specialized supercomputers like those made by Cray Inc.

Progressively, these early designs were refined and remade into some of the common, modern SIMD specifications, which are usually associated with one ISA.

After World War II, from the late 40s until the early 60s, there was a resurgence in interest in home crafts, particularly in the United States, with many new and imaginative crochet designs published for colorful doilies, potholders, and other home items, along with updates of earlier publications.

The circuitry that performs the actions defined by the microcode in many ( but not all ) CISC processors is, in itself, a processor which in many ways is reminiscent in structure to very early CPU designs.

In the early 1970s, this gave rise to ideas to return to simpler processor designs in order to make it more feasible to cope without ( then relatively large and expensive ) ROM tables and / or PLA structures for sequencing and / or decoding.

ELIZA had an impact on a number of early computer games by demonstrating additional kinds of interface designs.

* Special figures, the tracing of elaborate original designs on the ice, common in the early days of skating.

In the early 1990s MIPS started licensing their designs to third-party vendors.

The 6809's state machine and control logic, unlike many processors of the day, was mostly implemented using a large PLA and asynchronous random logic ( a trait of early designs and, partly, of RISC ) rather than microcoded.

( For an overview of early magnetron designs, including that of Boot and Randall, see )

Some early pianos had shapes and designs that are no longer in use.

Several drivetrain layouts were considered during early development, including rear and mid-engined designs, but most were dismissed because of technical and / or legislative difficulties.

Pairs typically consider more design alternatives than programmers working solo, and arrive at simpler, more-maintainable designs ; they also catch design defects early.

While early designs were simply a hook on the end of a long pole, later designs implemented a small reverse spike on the back of the blade.

Nearly all early postage stamps depicted the images of national leaders only, but before long, other subjects and designs began to appear.

In early designs, some characters were produced by printing two symbols with the carriage in the same position.

The original dial designs were rather cumbersome and development continued during the 1890s and early 1900s hand in hand with the switching technology.

Balzer's early designs even dispensed with cooling fins, although subsequent rotaries did have this common feature of air-cooled engines.

* In early vacuum tube audio amplifiers, center-tapped transformers were sometimes used as the phase inverter to drive the two output tubes of a push-pull stage.

Because the resonant frequency of the secondary side circuit of the transformer in the early designs was decided to have no relation with the operating frequency of the inverter circuit, the resonant frequency was set to a much higher frequency than that of the inverter circuit.

After two successful comedy albums, Comedy Minus One ( 1973 ) and the Grammy Award-nominated A Star Is Bought ( 1975 ), Brooks left the stand-up circuit to try his hand as a filmmaker ; his first film, The Famous Comedians School, was a satiric short that appeared on PBS and was an early example of the mockumentary sub-genre.

However, the efforts in integrated circuit development culminated in the introduction in early 1971 of the first " calculator on a chip ", the MK6010 by Mostek, followed by Texas Instruments later in the year.

But as integrated circuit technology shrank the size and cost of computers in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the memory requirements of AI programs started to exceed the address space of the most common research computer, the DEC PDP-10, researchers considered a new approach: a computer designed specifically to develop and run large artificial intelligence programs, and tailored to the semantics of the Lisp programming language.

A few years afterwards, Methodist Episcopal circuit riders from New York State began to arrive in Canada West at Niagara, and the north shore of Lake Erie in 1786, and at the Kingston region on the northeast shore of Lake Ontario in the early 1790s.

Some aviation engines as well as some early luxury cars have had dual-plugged systems with one set of plugs fired by a magneto, and the other set wired to a coil, dynamo, and battery circuit.

Memorable pre-war races at the circuit featured the talents of early Ringmeister ( Ringmasters ) such as Rudolf Caracciola, Tazio Nuvolari and Bernd Rosemeyer.

Through the late 1940s and early 1950s, R & B music had been gaining a stronger beat and a wilder style, with artists such as Fats Domino and Johnny Otis speeding up the tempos and increasing the backbeat to great popularity on the juke joint circuit.

This early rebreather design worked with an oxygen reservoir, the oxygen being delivered progressively by the diver himself and circulating in a closed circuit through a sponge soaked in limewater.

The roots of the term can be traced back to the early days of printed circuit design, when the enlarged ( for higher precision ) " artwork " for the photomask was manually " taped out " using black line tape and adhesive-backed die cut elements on sheets of PET film.

Such conversion was necessary when repeaters were introduced in a 2-wire circuit, a frequent practice at early 20th century telephony.

It was widely used in switching networks during the 1980s and early 1990s, for example as an alternative to circuit mode terminal switching, and for automated teller machines.

An early NME article on the band wrote that The Cure " are like a breath of fresh suburban air on the capital's smog-ridden pub-and-club circuit " and noted " With a John Peel session and more extensive London gigging on their immediate agenda, it remains to be seen whether or not The Cure can retain their refreshing joie de vivre.

This early rebreather design worked with an oxygen reservoir, the oxygen being delivered progressively by the diver himself and circulating in a closed circuit through a sponge soaked in limewater.

Development of the methods used in modern printed circuit boards started early in the 20th century.

Kantner, a native San Franciscan, had started out performing on the Bay Area folk circuit in the early 1960s, alongside fellow folkies Jerry Garcia, David Crosby and Janis Joplin.

To support this, special double capacity video and keyboard ROMs are used ; in early motherboards they had to reside on a tiny circuit card that plugged into the socket.

The majority of the initial test / debug cycle is conducted in the HDL simulator environment, as the early stage of the design is subject to frequent and major circuit changes.

Western Digital made the first single-chip UART WD1402A around 1971 ; this was an early example of a medium scale integrated circuit.

The Thirty-Ninth Judicial Circuit was created in the early 1980s when Limestone County broke away from Morgan County to form its own circuit.

Exhibit illustrates Hendrix's musical evolution from his early days in Seattle, to his time as a journeyman musician touring the southern " chitlin ' circuit " and in New York City, to his explosion on the popular music scene in London and beyond.

Tantivy Lodge was in existence from about 1840 through the early 1950s ; tradition states that Abraham Lincoln stopped there while traveling from Springfield to the Logan County courthouse at Postville ( today a part of the newer City of Lincoln, Illinois ) while Lincoln rode the judicial circuit as a lawyer.

As was the tradition for early churches, particularly Protestants, most of these groups began meeting for worship in a member ’ s home, or during fair weather outside under large tents, with “ circuit riders ” as pastors until formal church structures could be built and an established clergy formed.

Many early travelers, including several circuit riders and religious leaders, were entertained at Garrett's mansion.

Among those entertained at Beechwood Hall in the early 19th century was Bishop Francis Asbury, a circuit rider credited with spreading Methodism to the Southern Appalachian region.

The land on which the depot was built was purchased from a circuit rider and early settler named Joel Algood, and thus the train stop was named after him.
