Many computer experimenters buy surplus integrated circuits and have the sometimes tedious job of testing them to see if they work. Mark Thorson offers an elegant way around this problem with A Programmable IC Tester. For relatively little expense, readers can now construct a black box that will put virtually any TTL integrated circuit through its paces quickly and accurately. page 28

Since the introduction of the computer over 30 years ago, we have been forced to use difficult, archaic, near alien languages in order to communicate our wishes to the machine. The development of a system which understands the human language has been slow in coming. Now, Harry Tennant takes the naturally "speaking" machine out of the realm of science fiction and places it right in the lap of the home experimenter. But don't you need a huge machine to do that sort of thing, you protest? Read Natural Language Processing and Small Systems and discover the answer for yourself. page 38

Does your computer have high fiedelity? We don't mean to imply that it lacks character if it doesn't, but as Tom O'Haver shows in his article on Audio Processing with a Microcomputer it is possible to use the capabilities of a personal computer to do some interesting real time audio processing tasks such as reverberation , phlanging and "fuzz." page 166

p.6 Memory: The Growth of a Resource

[author : Carl Helmers] #Edito

Extract : «  Once upon a time, I had a telephone conversation with a gentleman whose name I cannot recall. This gentleman was an ardent experimenter, both personally and professionally, and was working on the development of a personal microprocessor system. He knew electronics inside and out, understood the principles of integrated circuits, could predict whether or not a given wire would have to be analyzed as a transmission line or could be treated simply as an interconnection, and knew how to calculate worst case conditions in a circuit. He was getting into microprocessors with the intent of learning enough about computing to enable him to incorporate them into his designs. I must have talked to him shortly after he had begun his project, but certainly before it had been completed to the state of a "working" processor. Given this background, he was able to come up with the statement, "Nobody will ever need more than 1 K bytes of memory for the personal computer. To use any more would indicate a lack of efficiency in the design."

I don't believe that this gentleman still holds this opinion, especially if he has proceeded into the world of programming and using a computer. [...]  »

p.14 A PROGRAMMABLE CHARACTER GENERATOR, Part 2: Software

[theme : Software] [author : Weinstein] #Display #Graphics

Extract : «  In part 1 last month (page 79), we saw that a programmable memory could be substituted for the character generator read only memory in a video display to create and use special character sets for special computer applications. With a small amount of additional software overhead, it is also possible to control high resolution screen graphics. The techniques for using the programmable character generator are detailed this month, and examples are presented. [...]  »

p.28 A PROGRAMMABLE IC TESTER

[theme : Test Equipment] [author : Thorson] #Electronic #Diagnostic

Extract : «  The high cost of digital components can be significantly reduced by the construction of this simple test instrument. While components of questionable reliability have long been available for a fraction of their value, the experimenter has been unable to take full advantage of them for lack of an adequate means of component testing. This circuit, however, now offers such a means for the rapid and accurate screening of bargain components.

Conventional component testing generally takes the form of either building a prototype circuit and substituting devices until it works, or setting up a rig of lights and switches and testing each gate or flip flop on the chip individually. Although these procedures are sufficient for the construction of trivial circuits employing a small number of integrated circuits, neither is exacting enough nor fast enough to provide the quantity or quality of parts required for a well stocked electronics lab.

The main weakness of both approaches is their failure to check the devices in question under all possible conditions of data. [...]  »

p.140 MORE MUSIC FOR THE 6502

[theme : Software Music] [author : O'Haver] #Listing #Assembly #Audio #Book

Extract : «  Here is a simple "music" composition and generation program which should provide some fun for the experimentally inclined. In September 1977 BYTE, page 12, Hal Taylor wrote about rules describing the style and structure of computer generated music. He described zeroth order stochastic control, in which the note sequences and durations are completely random. This sort of thing is very easily implemented with a microcomputer, and I suspect many of you have already done so just for fun, but the novelty wears off very quickly. More interesting is first order control, in which the pitches (or more precisely the transitions between pitches, or intervals) and rhythms are governed by some set of rules derived from conventional music (or from mathematics, poetry, etc, according to Hal Taylor).

p.142 TALK TO ME: Add a Voice to Your Computer for $35

[theme : Speech Synthesis] [author : Ciarcia] #Electronic #Audio #Listing #Assembly

Extract : «  [...] What is Digitized Speech?

Digitized speech is simply a standard data acquisition technique with a new definition. For years people have been using computers to scan analog to digital input converters and store the results in memory. Often, in high speed applications such as wind tunnels and nuclear experiments, the sample rates can exceed thousands of samples a second. In cases where the critical event is of short duration, these thousands of samples are stored directly into memory to increase system throughput capabilities. When the event has passed and sampling has stopped, the computer memory contains a record of that event in discretely timed intervals. The stored data is now available to be reduced, analyzed or listed. [...]  »

p.153 A THEATRICAL LIGHTING GRAPHICS PACKAGE

[theme : Video Displays] [author : Hemsath-Seawright-Ghent-Garrard] #Display #Graphics #Electronic

Extract : «  We recently developed an 8080 based composition and control system for theatrical lighting. This led us to the need for a way of displaying several time functions at once for examination and editing. Our system already made use of the Processor Technology VDM-1 display module, but the existing character set made it necessary to devote the entire screen to the display of one function in order to have useful resolution. Several functions could of course be superimposed, but this was awkward to program and left much to be desired in visual clarity.

Our first thought was to obtain a special read only memory integrated circuit to replace the control characters in the ASCII set with special characters consisting of a single scan line each, but the expense of this approach seemed impractical. Still, the improvement in resolution with such a character set was just what we needed, so we looked for other ways to modify the VDM-1 circuitry to achieve this; the results are detailed below.

Extract : «  Page Up, Page Down, Page Right and Page Left are some of the more complex subroutines in GRAPH.

Although the VDM-1 contains a scrolling feature which might, at first, seem useful for moving screen information up and down, it operates by changing the orientation of the display on the screen and not by actually moving data in memory. [...]  »

[theme : Real Time Applications] [author : O'Haver] #Electronic #Listing #Assembly #Audio #Glossary

Extract : «  There is a lot of talk about digital audio processing, but talk is not the same as practical action. As the prices of microprocessor systems and interface devices continue to drop, such applications are sure to become quite common, even among amateurs. This article describes a few of the possibilities of the use of a small low cost microprocessor system for digital processing of audio signals. The effects described involve echo, reverb, fuzz, time delay, phase phlanging, mono-to-enhanced-stereo conversion, and frequency multiplication. These effects could also be quite useful for the experimentally inclined audio enthusiast or music group. [...]  »

p.38 NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND SMALL SYSTEMS

p.38 NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND SMALL SYSTEMS

[theme : Tutorial] [author : Tennant] #Initiation #Linguistic #ArtificialIntelligence

Extract : «  What can possibly be said about the use of natural languages, that is the languages people use, with small systems? Where research is done on natural language processing, it is done on the largest computers available. To many computer scientists, the problem of enabling computers to understand natural languages at a reasonable level of competence is beyond the current technology. Consider what are probably the two best natural language processors yet produced by computer scientists: William Woods' LUNAR system which answered questions about rocks brought back from the moon, and Terry Winograd's system which manipulated blocks on a table in response to English commands; both are quite large programs. LUNAR uses one task with 256 K 36 bit words to discover the meaning of the user's query, then uses another task of 256 K words to answer the question. One question could take from three to 20 seconds to answer. Winograd's system did not need the quantity of data that Woods' system needed, but it still required 60 K words of 36 bits to operate in its limited world, consisting of a few blocks on a table. These are just two examples of the many natural language processing projects which have been conducted in recent years. These two (from the early 1970s) and nearly all the others since then share the property that they are large projects done on large machines using large amounts of memory. So what can possibly be said about natural language processing and small systems? [...]  »

p.56 GIVE AN EAR TO YOUR COMPUTER: A Speech Recognition Primer

[theme : Artificial Intelligence] [author : Georgiou] #Electronic #Linguistic #ArtificialIntelligence

Extract : «  You pick up the phone and slowly and clearly you pronounce into the microphone: "Number one two one three five five five one two one two verify." You listen as out of the earpiece an awkward but quite intelligible voice repeats what you just have said. Then you say "Dial number." The sounds of dialing follow, then a ringing in the distance and you find yourself talking to the directory assistance operator in Los Angeles. A sequel to 2001 with personal HALs? Not quite. Just plain old 1977 reality. A couple of cards in your computer and some programming can do it. Speech recognition and voice control have come a long way from the "Open Sesame!" of the Arabian tales. Its technical foundations were laid in the 1950s and 1960s. The microprocessor revolution has brought it within the reach of any computer experimenter, opening up a fascinating frontier of voice control and spoken communication between human and machine.

In the following pages I will try to give you an introduction to speech processing and pattern recognition. To demonstrate the principles involved, we will go into some details of the workings of a speech recognizer suitable for a small personal computer. I hope the material to be presented will be enough to give you an idea of what speech recognition is, how it is done and what are its present limitations. It is left to the reader to get excited, read the literature to find more about speech recognition and then buy, borrow or build a recognizer and start using it imaginatively. [...]

Extract : «  OEM can be a confusing term for people new to the personal computing field. It means "Original Equipment Manufacturer" -that is, a company which uses parts and equipment of other manufacturers in order to produce end user equipment for sale to the public.

Recently I had the opportunity to visit an OEM supplier whose name is well-known to the personal computing field: Shugart Associates. Shugart manufactures the floppy and minifloppy disk drives that go into equipment sold by North Star, Apple, PolyMorphics, Smoke Signal Broadcasting, Radio Shack, and many more. They also supply companies that manufacture large computer systems. All told, they claim to manufacture over three quarters of the floppy disk drives on the market, and two thirds of the minifloppies. [...]  »
