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. The trigger is so named because the output retains its value until the input changes sufficiently to trigger a change. This dual threshold action is called hysteresis."
It is worth to remark that the invention of the Thermionic Trigger 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.
