Abstract

The reliability of a piece of equipment is a measure of its ability to function as intended. Equipment may malfunction in two different ways. It may fail catastrophically as a vacuum tube does when its heater opens; it may fail gradually as a vacuum tube does when its transconductance slowly falls to an unacceptable level over a period of time. It is not the intent of this paper to study catastrophic component failures, but rather to illustrate a technique whereby gradual failure of circuits can be minimized.
