Moore's law: past, present and future

Ross Schaller · 1 Jun 1997

A simple observation, made over 30 years ago, on the growth in the number of devices per silicon die has become the central driving force of one of the most dynamic of the world's industries. Because of the accuracy with which Moore's Law has predicted past growth in IC complexity, it is viewed as a…

Least-squares estimation: from Gauss to Kalman

H.W. Sorenson · 1 Jul 1970

This discussion is directed to least-squares estimation theory, from its inception by Gauss1 to its modern form, as developed by Kalman.2 To aid in furnishing the desired perspective, the contributions and insights provided by Gauss are described and related to developments that have appeared more recently (that is, in the 20th century). In the author's…

Introducing custom power

N.G. Hingorani · 1 Jun 1995

Changes in customers' needs require improvements in the reliability and quality of the electricity supply. This paper describes how the concept of custom power is now becoming familiar. The term describes the value-added power that electric utilities and other service providers will offer their customers in the future. The improved level of reliability of this…

How We Found The Missing Memristor

R. Stanley Williams · 1 Dec 2008

It's time to stop shrinking. Moore's Law, the semiconductor industry's obsession with the shrinking of transistors and their commensurate steady doubling on a chip about every two years, has been the source of a 50-year technical and economic revolution. Whether this scaling paradigm lasts for five more years or 15, it will eventually come to…

A guided tour of the fast Fourier transform

G. D. Bergland · 1 Jul 1969

For some time the Fourier transform has served as a bridge between the time domain and the frequency domain. It is now possible to go back and forth between waveform and spectrum with enough speed and economy to create a whole new range of applications for this classic mathematical device. This article is intended as…

IEEE Spectrum template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Spectrum format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Spectrum template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Spectrum use?
IEEE Spectrum uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Spectrum, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Spectrum?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEtran LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Spectrum document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Spectrum template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Spectrum format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes IEEE Spectrum?
IEEE Spectrum is a engineering and computer science journal published by IEEE. DocuGuru's IEEE Spectrum template matches IEEE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Spectrum PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Spectrum template (the IEEEtran class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Spectrum template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Spectrum template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Spectrum PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
