In the USA we're approaching Thanksgiving, a time for reflection. My blog post
"Signal Integrity in 150 B.C." at:
http://signal-integrity.tm.agilent.com/2009/signal-integrity-in-150-b-c/
...reflects on the ancient past. In contrast to today where the most
sophisticated machines are electronic, in 150 B.C. they were precision
gear-wheel devices whose signal integrity problems were no doubt those of play
and backlash.
The only surviving relic is the Antikythera mechanism, and recent research has
revealed some of its secrets. It's a little off-topic, but I hope you enjoy its
story as I did.
Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it!
