Bornnon this date in 1875, the British physicist William Eccles workednwith early radiontechnology. He was concerned with increasing the distance that radionwaves could be transmitted and studied sources of interference ofnradio waves. He worked with the glass tubes that old radios dependednon, and he went on to work on the cutting edge of his field:nelectronic circuit development. He worked with another scientist tondesign the flip-flop circuit that became the basis of electronicnmemory in computers.

nAnflip-flop circuit is an electronic circuit that has two stablenstates. It can be switched between those two states with an inputnsignal.

n
n
nFlip-flopncircuits are used with vacuum tubes and transistors, logic gates andncomputer memory.

nHigh-low,nup-down, 0-1, on-off—however you think of it, a flip-flop circuitncan be set and then can hold that setting until it is reset. n
