® occam is a trade mark of INMOS Limited The User Group is an informal organisation run by its own members. Its primary concern is the occam programming language, developed by INMOS Limited. As the principal vehicle for the execution of occam programs, the INMOS trans­ puter hardware is also included in the Group's area of interest. The main aim of the User Group is to act as a forum for the interchange of information among existing and potential users of these products and as a channel for communication with INMOS. These aims will be met by organis­ ing meetings, issuing a newsletter, and supporting the exchange of programs between members. Membership is free upon submission of an enrolment form. The User Group is mainly dependent upon its own members to contribute to meetings, to provide material for the newsletter and to make their occam programs available to other . members. Occam User Group Newsletter This is the main vehicle for communication between members and is sent out free of charge. It is issued approximately twice yearly in June and December. It includes supplements to the list of members and a bibliography of published work on occam and related subjects. It also includes names, addresses and telephone numbers of the members of the committee. Members are encour­ aged. to submit short descriptions of their interest in and intended uses of oc­ cam. Text may be retyped, but diagrams should be suitable for reproduction. Text may also be acceptable on machine-readable media at the editor's dis­ cretion. Please submit articles, letters, comments, enquiries on any occam or transputer-related subjects to the Editor: Dr Geraint Jones, Programming Research Group, University of Oxford, 8-11 Keb1e Road, OXFORD OX1 3QD. Emai1: [email protected] Te1ephone: 0865 273851 Technical Me,etulClS These are held twice yearly, usually in September and March. Apart from any necessary business they include papers, presentations and demonstrations by members and by INMOS. The earlier meetings were informal and had no published proceedings. Recent meetings have included formal papers which have been published by lOS, Amsterdam, -- for information on availability see the Newsletter. If you are prepared to give a presentation or act as host to a future meeting, please inform the User Group Secretary or the meeting organiser (if known). - Related groups in other countries St)me contact addresses for groups in other countries are given towards the back of this booklet. occam is a trade mark of INMOS Limited The directory in this booklet, is classified alphabetically by countries in three main groups: 1 EuroLpe, 2 America, 3 Rest of the World. It includes the names and addresses of all (about 2160) members of the Occam User Group who have given their permission for these to be made public. There are also about 110 members who do not wish to have their identities made public. The cut-off date for inclusion is mid-December 1989. Where available, and permission has been given, a Telephone Number, List of interests and Electronic mail address is also given. Telephone numbers have been augmented with an international dialling code when this was not supplied by the member. Leading zeroes have been removed in this process, it is not known whether this is in general the right thing to do. No attempt has been made to standardise EMAIL addresses. Interests are coded under the following headings, with other words given in full. Artificial intelligence Formal aspects go Graphics Hardware ], Learning Networks m Numerical methods Operating systems u Unix The final item of the entry for each member indicates the source of the information. The codes used are to be interpreted thus: Q OUG Questionnaire (1987) R Rejoining form sent to members who did not return questionnaire E OUG Enro~ment form before April 1989 A date New entry Added on date shown (no date = before April 1989) M date Existing entry Modified on date shown Any member who joined before December 1989 and whose name is not in the directory, but has received this booklet, should be assumed to have requested that his or her details not be published. Any member who wishes to report an error in his own entry in this directory should photocopy an enrolment form from the back of the booklet and send it to the address below. Apologies are offered for any errors which have arisen from the combination of manual and automated procedures that have been used in the creation of this directory. Any member who knows that another member has moved from the address shown and is unlikely to have his or her mail forwarded is invited to send an enrolment form to that other member so that he or she may rejoin the group. The occam user group membership file is held on a computer at the INMOS offices at Bristol.

    Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153

    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.

It will be possible to store muon beams with central momentum from 1 GeV/c to 6 GeV/c with a momentum acceptance of 16%. The nuSTORM facility will have the capability to: ,- ,- • Serve a definitive neutrino-nucleus scattering programme with uniquely well-characterised ν e and ν µ beams; • Allow searches for light sterile neutrinos with the exquisite sensitivity necessary to go beyond the reach of the FNAL Short Baseline Neutrino programme; and • Provide the technology test-bed required for the development of muon beams capable of serving as the basis for a multi-TeV lepton-antilepton (muon) collider.

It beats the diffraction limits of ordinary microscopy by a factor of ~3000, and the spatial resolution it gives (~3nm) already rivals the very best of electron microscopy at a fraction of the time effort and cost. We believe it has the potential to transform the biomedical sciences. We have shown how it can image the organelles inside a cell optically for the first time first time ever. Also , because it works at mid-IR wavelengths where chemical bonds have characteristic vibrational absorption bands that give them spectral “fingerprints” , the technique can be used to provide nanoscal chemical maps that, e.g. reveal where drugs bind inside the cell. The initial aims of the project will be to trail and develop the technology with Imperial cinicians, with a focus on themes, (1) the pathology pf Breast Cancer, (2) Drug resistance in multiple myeloma, and (3) the nanoscale causes of osteporosis. However, the potential applications are limitless and we will likely establish more collaborations as the programme progresses.

    CHAIN HOME TOWER at Great Baddow - Response to Case #: 1454834

    CHAIN HOME TOWER at Great Baddow - Response to case #: 1454834 My interest in this case stems from my family history. My father Bruce Neale, later to become Chief Engineer at Marconi Radar, was an RAF Warrant Officer in WW2 and worked on CH and later precision bombing aids such as OBOE and GEE. This is how he met my mother, a WAAF Sergeant who initially monitored the CH oscilloscope traces looking for the reflections of incoming German aircraft – some signals which were probably launched from that very RAF Canewdon (now Baddow) tower! Below is the remarkable photograph of my ‘to be’ parents actually in an Oboe station in 1943 courtesy of Colin Latham’s book ‘Radar-A wartime Miracle’. I have always regarded myself as a child of Radar! The ‘CH-The First Operational Radar’ article ( www.radarpages.co.uk/mob/ch/chainhome.htm ) was written by my father for the GEC Journal, a special edition commemorating the 50th anniversary of Robert Watson Watt and Arnold Wilkins’ demonstration of the feasibility of detecting radio reflections from aircraft at Weedon, Northamptonshire in 1935. My parents got to know Arnold Wilkins and his wife towards the end of all of their lives. The article has become the reference paper for anybody interested in the CH Radar System and he gave many lectures on the subject. My father had joined the Marconi Company in the early 1950’s when they won the contract for project ROTOR to upgrade the UK WW2 Early Warning Radar Network which included the later versions of CH and he officially retired in 1985 although he continued as a consultant until his death.
