192042964Redhill: H. M. Stationery Office 1920. <p>Patent for the Flip-Flop Circuit the Basis for Electronic Memory </p> <p>Eccles William Henry 1875-1966 and Frank Wilfred Jordan 1882- . Patent specification 148582 . . . improvements in ionic relays. Redhill: Printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Love & Malcomson Ltd. 1920. 5pp. Folding plate. Errata slip tipped to first leaf. 267 x 195 mm. Unbound. Light wear along gutter margin and fore-edge but very good. Stamps of the Belgian Bureau voor den Industrieelen Eigendom Bibliotheek. </p> <p>First Edition. On June 21 1918 British physicists William Henry Eccles and Frank Wilfred Jordan professors of engineering at London's City and Guilds Technical College filed a patent for "Improvements in Ionic Relays"—the first flip-flop circuit. The device originally called the Eccles-Jordan trigger circuit consisted of two active elements vacuum tubes. The schematic drawing illustrating Eccles and Jordan's patent shows two flip-flops "one drawn as a cascade of amplifiers with a positive feedback path and the other as a symmetric cross-coupled pair" Wikipedia. The patent specification no. 148582 was first published in 1920. </p> <p>Early flip-flops were known variously as trigger circuits or multivibrators. A flip-flop circuit has two stable states and as Claude Shannon pointed out in his Mathematical Theory of Communication 1948 can be used to store one bit of information. Flip-flop circuits operate using Boolean algebra AND OR NOT. Prior to the invention of electronic computing Eccles and Jordan viewed their invention as a "method of relaying or magnifying in electrical circuits for use in telegraphy and telephony." However with the invention of electronic computing that used vacuum tubes as switches flip-flops became the basic storage element in sequential logic used in digital circuitry and the basis for electronic memory. In September 1919 Eccles and Jordan described the flip-flop in a brief one-page paper "A trigger relay utilizing three-electrode thermionic vacuum tubes" The Electrician 83 September 19 1919 p. 298. However the patent filed the previous year and consisting of 5 pages plus illustration remains the first description of this invention. Very rare. </p> . H. M. Stationery Office unknown books

1934432721934. <p>Jordan Pascual 1902-80; John von Neumann 1903-57; and Eugene Wigner 1902-95. On an algebraic generalization of the quantum mechanical formalism. Offprint from Annals of Mathematics second series 35 1934. 29-64pp. 254 x 176 mm. Original printed wrappers margins a bit dust-soiled. Very good. Presentation Copy Inscribed by Jordan to physicist Gregor Wentzel 1898-1978 on the front wrapper: "Herrn Wentzel mit hertzlichen Grüssen! P. J." </p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue of Jordan von Neumann and Wigner's classic paper on one of the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics introducing what are now known as the formally real Jordan algebras. "When the real numbers the complex numbers and the quaternions were sent down from platonic heaven to tell the world about the algebraic structure of quantum mechanics they took on human avatars and wrote this paper" Baez. </p> <p>In an earlier paper Jordan had introduced the "Jordan algebras" a special type of non-associative algebra to formalize the notion of an algebra of observables in quantum mechanics. </p> <p>"In 1932 Pascual Jordan tried to isolate some axioms that an "algebra of observables" should satisfy. The unadorned phrase "algebra" usually signals an associative algebra i.e. one in which a b c = a b c but this not the kind of algebra Jordan was led to. In both classical and quantum mechanics observables are closed under addition and multiplication by real scalars. In classical mechanics we can also multiply observables but in quantum mechanics this becomes problematic. . . . </p> <p>"However in quantum mechanics one can still raise an observable to a power and obtain another observable. From squaring and taking real linear combinations one can construct a commutative product . . . This led Jordan to define what is now called a formally real Jordan algebra . . . In 1934 Jordan published a paper with von Neumann and Wigner classifying finite-dimensional formally real Jordan algebras" Baez; emphasis ours. </p> <p>The formally real Jordan algebras correspond to various spin factors which in turn "have an intriguing relation to special relativity" Baez; see Baez for a more detailed account of Jordan von Neumann and Wigner's paper. Jordan algebras also play important roles in other branches of mathematics: Lie groups and algebras differential geometry projective geometry probability and statistics. </p> <p>Jordan presented this copy of his paper to theoretical physicist Gregor Wentzel who also made contributions to quantum mechanics: He is best known for the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation for finding approximate solutions to linear partial differential equations with spatially varying coefficients.
