Programmable probability random event generator

摘要

The programmable probability random event generator includes a radioactive random pulse generator (RPG) the output of which is connected to an analyser. The analyser includes a counter for counting the number of pulses produced by the RPG during a predetermined time period. The analyser then determines whether the count meets selected mathematical parameters. Where the parameters are met the analyser then generates an output. The mathematical parameters have been determined to ensure that the analyser generates an output randomly according to a selected probability. The mathematical parameters employed enable the random event generator to operate to generate output at selected probabilities without knowledge of the exact Mean output of the RPG.
