1930 Physical Rev. 35 651/2 Enormously increased resolving power can be obtained by the requirement of multiple instead of paired coincidences. The attainment of very great freedom from accidental coincidences is of greatest importance [etc.].

1938 R. W. Lawson tr. G. von Hevesy & F. A. Paneth Man. Radioactivity (ed. 2) xxv. 280 Insertion of sheets of lead between the counters only slightly diminishes the number of simultaneous discharges (coincidences), and this proves that we are here confronted..with cosmic rays.

1940 G. Herzog in Physical Rev. 57 67/2 Anticoincidences can be used to suppress the recording of the discharges in a coincidence circuit when one additional G-M counter is fired simultaneously.

1958 Van Nostrand's Sci. Encycl. (ed. 3) 369/1 A true coincidence is one that is due to the detection of a single particle or of several genetically related particles. An accidental, chance, or random coincidence is one that is due to the fortuitous occurrence of unrelated counts in the separate detectors.

b. Computing. Equivalent signals received simultaneously in an electronic circuit; the reception of such signals. Also attributive.

1947 Rev. Sci. Instruments 18 907/1 In order to reduce chance coincidences to a minimum, it is necessary to use a coincidence circuit.

1948 Rev. Sci. Instruments 19 565/2 Methods can be found for modulating one of the E.M.T.'s..so that the E.M.T.'s themselves form a coincidence or anticoincidence system.

1950 C. B. Tompkins & J. H. Wakelin High-speed Computing Devices (Engin. Res. Associates) iv. 37 An electronic gate is a circuit with a single output and two (or more) inputs so designed that an output signal is produced when, and only when, input signals are received on both (or on a particular set of) input leads. Such circuits are variously known as gates, coincidence circuits, Rossi circuits, or logical and circuits.

1953 A. D. Booth & K. H. V. Booth Automatic Digital Calculators xi. 111 Coincidence sensers. In computing machine design it is frequently necessary to have available means for ascertaining the identity of two quantities.

1964 M. J. Pedelty in Tou & Wilcox Computer Sci. x. 248 The essence of the system..is that signals are ‘broadcast’ on a ‘to-whom-it-may-concern’ basis. Coincidence gates and delays can then be used to detect certain pulse patterns from the ‘broadcast alphabet’.
