A számítógép “agysejtje”. A leggyorsabb számítógépekben alkalmazott  kriogenetikus tárolók alig nagyobbak, mint az erősen nagyított képen látható szögek. A lemezen 135 apró derékszögű kriotront helyeztek el egy üvegfelületen. Ezek képezik a gép memóriaegységét. Egy ilyen elrendezéssel kb. 40 információt lehet tárolni. Fotó: Erich Hartmann / Magnum.

CYDAC
In a groundbreaking application of computers to study biology in the 1960s, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed a system called CYDAC for calculating the amount of DNA present in any given chromosome. Using electron microscope data, CYDAC could “see” each chromosome as 100,000 bits of information. It then compared the data with that of healthy chromosomes and reported abnormalities. CYDAC’s unprecedented precision attracted great interest and led to clinical application of the technology.

40 éves az első magyar (vektor)grafikus megjelenítő, a GD-71, amit 1971-ben fejlesztettek az MTA Számítástechnikai és Automatizálási Kutatóintézetében.
1. GD-71 a Delta magazin 1971-es számában.
2. GD-71 a műszaki múzeum tanulmánytárában 2011-ben.

The first hungarian GUI is 40 years old.

Probably the first computer nude. Kenneth Knowlton - Leon Harmon: Studies in Perception I, 1966. In: Új Technika, 87/4.Automatic digitizing method for images. Created in Bell Labs, early example of image processing, probably the first computer nude. Knowlton and Harmon scanned a photograph with a special camera, converted analog voltages to binary numbers, which were stored on magnetic tape. Another program assigned typographic symbols to these numbers according to halftone densities. Finally printed by a microfilm plotter. Exhibited in The Machine show in MoMA in 1968.
