Don Zeller Assistant Professor, Engineering Technology Department, Fenn College of Engineering, Cleveland State UniversityIntroductionIn the late 1960’s, a new electronic device made its debut, at the request of the automotiveindustry. It was called a programmable logic controller (PLC) and its function was to replace anexisting system of machine control logic. The existing system was based on an electro-mechanical device called a relay and the machine

higher thetemperature, the more vibration occurs that allows the atoms to let the diffusant through. Forinstance, arsenic in silicon will not diffuse at room temperature and will diffuse only a fewmicrometers after 3 hours at 1000oC. Clearly, solid state diffusion plays a major role in manyfacets of our lives.The odor of a skunk reaching our nose (sensor for smell), even when there is no wind comingfrom that direction immediately brings to mind the diffusion of gases. The time to detect theodor at room temperature over a 10 meter distance might be as long as ten seconds. If diffusionof gaseous molecular species is said to proceed at velocities of up to 103 m/s, why do we notsmell things almost instantaneously? As in the case of solids, the atoms
