  • Abstract
    The binary quantizer is a new device for translating a time-varying voltage into a binary number. Although primarily designed for computing work, this apparatus may find use where quantization of a continuously varying function is desired, as in pulse code modulators, automatic metering devices, and recording machines employing typed or printed numbers.
