Low-Voltage Circuit Design
[ send me this paper ]
A 42 page paper discussing basic designs enroute to devising a project focusing on voice recognition circuitry and control. The intended application is not ultimately intended to be that used for voice-to-text designs, though it could be. Rather, the project focus is more that designed as a security measure, such as that ensuring that the user of a cellular telephone is indeed the subscriber to the cellular service on which that specific telephone's service is billed. Voice recognition can be seen to be approaching a standard in the future. That standard seems to be far in the future, but it likely will be attached to natural language and context sensitivity. In order to be truly useful, it will need to be based on the simplest circuits achievable. Includes 16 figures, bibliography lists 25 sources.

20th Century Knowledge -- Revolution or Evolution?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses technological and intellectual advances that have taken place in the 20th century and whether or not such an expansion of knowledge has been due to great new ideas suddenly appearing on the intellectual horizon or a technological evolution of ideas that has led to such commonplace realities as photocopy machines, personal computers, and jet travel. It is important to understand that the foundations of any enterprise determine the heights to which it can rise and the breadth to which it can expand. This writer takes the viewpoint that the advancement of knowledge over the past century has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

A Day Without Magnetism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. A day without magnetism would mean a day without existence, inasmuch as magnets and magnetism are related to virtually every aspect of life. From the smallest particle known to man to the most tremendous man-made structures, magnetism provides the cohesive element required for existence. In essence, a day without magnetism would render the earth and all its inhabitants in immediate peril, because this planet is nothing if not one huge magnet all its own. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
