About: Additron tube

An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Additron was an electron tube designed by Dr. Josef Kates, circa 1950, to replace the several individual electron tubes and support components required to perform the function of a single bit digital full adder. Dr. Kates developed the Additron with the intention of increasing the likelihood of success and reliability while reducing the size, power consumption and complexity of the University of Toronto Electronic Computer, (UTEC) The tube was registered with the Radio Television Manufacturing Association on 20 March 1951 as type 6047.

dbo:abstract
  • The Additron was an electron tube designed by Dr. Josef Kates, circa 1950, to replace the several individual electron tubes and support components required to perform the function of a single bit digital full adder. Dr. Kates developed the Additron with the intention of increasing the likelihood of success and reliability while reducing the size, power consumption and complexity of the University of Toronto Electronic Computer, (UTEC) The Additron neither went into production at the Canadian Rogers Vacuum Tube Company, where the prototypes were built, nor was it used in the UTEC machine. It did make a widely publicized appearance at the 1950 Canadian National Exhibition operating an electronic game of Tic-Tac-Toe, dubbed Bertie the Brain, to show the marvels of electronic computing. The tube was registered with the Radio Television Manufacturing Association on 20 March 1951 as type 6047. (en)
  • Le tube Additron est un tube électronique conçu par Josef Kates, vers 1950, pour remplacer les nombreux tubes électroniques spécifiques et composants nécessaires pour remplir la fonction d'un additionneur complet 1 bit. Kates développe l'Additron avec l'intention d'augmenter les chances de réussite et la fiabilité, tout en réduisant la taille, la consommation d'énergie et la complexité de l'ordinateur UTEC (University of Toronto Electronic Computer). L'Additron n'est jamais entré en production chez Rogers Vacuum Tube Company, où les prototypes ont été créés, et n'a pas non plus été utilisé dans l'UTEC. Il fait une apparition très médiatisée lors de l'Exposition nationale canadienne de 1950, dans un jeu électronique de tic-tac-toe affublé du nom de Bertie the Brain, dans le but vanter les prouesses de l’électronique informatique. Le tube est enregistré auprès de la Consumer Technology Association le 20 mars 1951 comme "6047". (fr)
  • L'additron era una valvola progettata dall'ingegnere Josef Kates intorno al 1950, per sostituire le singole valvole elettroniche ed i componenti di supporto necessari per eseguire la funzione di un singolo bit digitale full-adder. Il Dr. Kates sviluppò l'Additron con l'intenzione di aumentare le probabilità di successo e affidabilità riducendo al contempo le dimensioni, il consumo energetico e la complessità dell'University of Toronto Electronic Computer (UTEC) L'Additron tuttavia non entrò in produzione presso la Rogers Vacuum Tube Company, dove ne erano stati costruiti i prototipi, né venne utilizzata nell'UTEC, facendo soltanto un'apparizione ampiamente pubblicizzata presso il padiglione dell'azienda del Canadian National Exhibition del 1950, all'interno del computer Bertie the Brain, per mostrare le meraviglie di calcolo elettronico. Il brevetto della valvola venne depositato alla Radio Television Manufacturing Association il 20 marzo 1951 (con il codice 6047). (it)
