Catt's Anomaly

Massimiliano Pieraccini and Stefano Selleri (P&S)

.... “The academic word did not take Catt seriously much. “

P&S were pursuing “Publish or Perish”. Had they admitteed that academia were worried about cattq, peer review would have blocked their paper, as Pieraccini admitted in his novel .

 

What about Nobel prize winner Brian Josephson  to Sir Michael Pepper FRS, knighted for services to physics;

 

“Your [Pepper’s] and Catt’s assertion that this cannot happen (and the official IEE response also) because the electrons do not travel at the speed of light, is incorrect, as noted by Neil McEwan.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In the “Publish or Perish” stakes, (Pieraccini now, After Catt, has 62 peer reviewed articles – he will go far –), there is no time to check your facts. It’s quicker to check for deviation from the dogma. Catt sinned when he asked for clarification of the dogma. (Like asking what the trinity is doing in a monotheistic religion. I’m interested because I went to Trinity, Cambridge.)

Russell C. Aubusson was born in Liverpool, England, in November 1942. He received the B.Sc. degree in physics from Manchester Uni" - versity, Manchester, England, in 1964 and is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree at Middlesex Polytechnic, Middlesex, UK. He joined the Semiconductor Division of Ferranti Ltd. to work on RTL, DTL, ECL, and MNOS integra ted- cu it development. In 1971 he was appointed to head the company's R&D group an RF transistors, and in 1973 was made responsible for liaison with the Ministry of Defence on all Ferranti Electronic Component Division's defence contracts. He joined Middlesex Polytechnic (now Middlesex University) as a Research Fellow in 1975 to take charge of this memory project and was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in Microelectronics in September 1977.

Mr. Aubusson is a member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.

Ivor Catt was born in Plymouth, England, on December 19,1935. He received the M.A. degree in engineering from Trinity College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, in 1959. From 1959 to 1962 he worked in the Ferranti (now I.C.L.) Computer Labs, Manchester, England. After working in computer peripheral companies in Los Angeles, he went to Motorola Semiconductor Products Division, Phoenix; AZ, where he pioneered the interconnection of I-ns logic gates. After a period of being in charge of the LSI Research Group at Sperry Semiconductor, Norwalk, CT, he returned to England in 1968 and worked in R & D at Computer Technology Ltd., Hemel Hempstead. More recently he has worked in R & D on radar systems at G.E.C. and telex exchange at International Telephone and Telegraph. He is presently withC.A.M. Ltd., St. Albans, Hertfordshire, UK. He has published two books: Computer Worship (London: Pitman, 1974), and The Catt Concept (New York: Putnam, 1971). Currently, three research projects funded by the British Government [in Middlesex University, Brunel University and RSRE Malvern] to develop his computer inventions are in progress or about to start. He is consulting on these, and also is writing a textbook on digital design. http://www.ivorcatt.org/digital-hardware-design.htm

As digital system speeds increase and their sizes diminish, it becomes increasingly important to understand the mechanism of signal crosstalk (noise) in interconnections between logic elements. The worst case is when two wires run parallel for a long distance. Past literature has been unsuccessful in explaining crosstalk between parallel wires above a ground plane, because it was assumed that only... View more

Time Loss Through Gating of Asynchronous Logic Signal Pulses

The gating of asynchronous signals causes logical errors. It is possible to reduce the frequency of these errors, but the price paid is a severe loss of time and extra cost in hardware. View more

Considers a new approach to full-slice technology in relation to existing procedures for achieving this goal. Under external control a chain of good chips is created to form a long serial memory from an array of identical chips on a full slice. Bad chips are automatically bypassed without requiring any pre- or post-programming of the metallization and without any prior knowledge of the distributio... View more
