ALT Layout of a pair of dynamic logic full-adders. Part of a logic chip that added two 8 bit numbers together.
ALT An 8-bit pipelined adder circuit. Bits come in, and out, at the top. The adders are at the bottom. The circuit on the left creates the special non-overlapping clock signals required for the design.
ALT Complete adder chip layout, showing connection pads around the outside, and some "chip art" on the right.
ALT The finished physical device, as viewed under a microscope.
ALT Tracing hand on cardboard to get controller size
ALT Draw the controller next to the hand
ALT Four cardboard copies of the shape cut out
ALT Thumb on the controller to determine where button will go
ALT View of Star Trek actor Nichelle Nichols in the CAPCOM area of the Mission Control Center at NASA's Johnson Space Center in 1977. Image taken during filming of promotional movie designed to aid in recruiting minorities as candidates for Space Shuttle Astronaut positions.
ALT The James Webb Space Telescope inside its processing facility. The iconic golden mirror is upright and dwarfs the workers below in their protective white suits. It measures 21.5 feet across, or 6.5 meters. It is comprised of 18 individual hexagonal mirrors to form one honeycomb shaped primary mirror.
ALT A rectangular circuit board, a bit bigger than a playing card. It is covered with resistors and diodes, along with a few transistors and capacitors. It has a chunky 8-contact edge connector at the right.
ALT Vintage photo of the Univac 1004 with a woman using it. The main part of the system is a line printer, with a couple of dishwasher-sized cabinets attached.
ALT Closeup view of the resistors and diodes on the circuit board.
