Optobundle - A Unique Fiber Optic Multiplier,

Abstract

This paper describes the design and construction of failsoft single digit decimal multiplier that exhibits almost total immunity to electromagnetic interference. Bundles of glass fiber light guides not only carry the numerical information but actually perform the multiplication as well. Nearly trivial hardware requirements make the device both reliable and inexpensive. (Author)
