The problem is considered of maximizing a function in a convex region. To solve this problem a new method is developed, to be called "method of feasible directions". It is a method of steep ascent.

A recent Design Idea presents a circuit to measure an airflow rate up to 2000 fpm using two transistors in a Darlington configuration. One transistor works as a self-heated thermal sensor and the ...
