After graduating from U-M, Shannon moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to work on the
Differential Analyzer, which at that time was the world's most renowned computer.
This was quickly followed by the world's first automated five-part
differential analyzer, the Technicon Hemalog-D, an instrument based on a combination of optical and cytochemical methods.
Vannevar Bush, vice-president of technology and dean of engineering, who under the Institute's program to eliminate delay and complications in engineering and research, has previously made important contributions to the mechanical solution of mathematical problems, including the famous
differential analyzer.
The use of a 5-part leukocyte
differential analyzer would have been more beneficial for the verification of purity of neutrophils.
The Marshall
Differential Analyzer Team is a collection of undergraduate and graduate students gathered together with a common goal of studying and constructing a mechanical
differential analyzer, a machine designed and first built in the late 1920's to solve nonlinear differential equations that could not be solved by other methods.
As a reporter interested in computers, Zachary is eager to embrace Bush as one of the founding fathers of American computers, but he recognizes that Bush's analog machines, like the famous
differential analyzer of the thirties, belong to a different time and place.
Then in 1930 Vannevar Bush of MIT developed a
differential analyzer, a large analog computer.
The
differential analyzer infers the user's goal and compares the user's task result to that produced by an expert module which is often a knowledge base of rules that an expert would run to perform the task.
In addition to Tobii ATI's P10, the compelling display of technological icons selected for "Revolution" includes the Abacus, Hollerith Tabulator, Nordsieck
Differential Analyzer, IBM System/360, IBM RAMAC disk drive, Shakey the Robot, Xerox Alto, Pong Prototype, Apple II, IBM PC, Palm Pilot, Google Server Engine and more.
The HP E4837A 660MHz
differential analyzer front-end is $2,500.
The FDA cleared The White IRIS leukocyte
differential analyzer in May 1996, but its commercial release was subsequently delayed by other priorities such as the introductions of the Model 900UDx urine pathology system and the UF-100 urine cell analyzer.
With the recent introduction of The White IRIS(R) leukocyte
differential analyzer, the company now has three major IVD imaging products lines, in the areas of urinalysis, cytogenetics and hematology.
