neuristor Electronics.|njʊˈrɪstə(r)|
[f. neur- + -istor, as in resistor, transistor.]
Any device that is effectively a transmission line along which a signal will travel without attenuation (generally with a supply of energy along its length).
1960H. C. Crane in IRE Trans. Electronic Computers IX. 370/1 A novel device and its properties have been hypothesized and possible digital systems employing it are briefly outlined in this note. The device, termed Neuristor, may be used to synthesize all digital logic functions... A neuristor may be visualized as a one-dimensional channel along which signals may flow. A signal propagates along the channel in the form of a discharge... A discharge signal has the following properties: 1) attenuationless propagation, 2) uniform velocity of propagation, 3) a refractory period. These characteristics are somewhat similar to the gross properties of transmission of discharge pulses by neurons in the nervous system—hence the name neuristor. 1963New Scientist 7 Feb. 285/1 The concept of devices called ‘neuristors’, which behave like the axon or connection process of the neuron in the brain, is exciting to medical workers. 1965Electronics Lett. I. 134/1 In most cases, neuristors which can propagate pulses have been considered, but one which can only propagate a discharge has also been studied. 1972Nuclear Instruments & Methods CIV. 593 (heading) On the possibility of using superconducting neuristor line as particle detector. |
