Description: 
This institute is engaged in work on computer applications, special 
devices, and circuit theory. Theoretical studies are made of circuits, such 
as relay circuits, that can be used in mechanized systems. 
Computers are used for synthesizing relay circuits and as pattern- 
recognition machines or reading machines. The Institute has developed a 
computer that recognizes the sound of three words: "zero", “one, and 
"stop". It is capable of receiving commands given by any human voice at any 
volume. The Institute is working on a machine capable of both receiving 
speech and delivering it in printed form and of making translations.
