Project
Our project consists in a Genetic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger Schmitt Trigger]: "when the input is higher than a certain chosen threshold, the output is high; when the input is below another (lower) chosen threshold, the output is low; when the input is between the two, the output retains its value. This dual threshold action is called hysteresis."
It is worth to remark that the invention of the Thermionic Trigger (an other name for this switch) was a direct result of Otto Schmitt's study of nerve propagation in squid nerves: it is the perfect example of inventing an artificial method to imitate a natural process. We think it's time for Schmitt Trigger to come back home in Bio.
