Abstract :
A detailed account is given of the application of a minimizationprogram to several design problems. Specifically these applications areconcerned with the design of a curve function generator for a massspectrometer for a proposed Mars probe and the design of autonomousshift registers with linear and nonlinear feedback, used for classificationion of binary sequences and counting tasks for spacecraft scientificdata processing.
