Same here. Does anyone know of an alternative source for that paper by
Oliver Collins? I was trying to make sense of Bruce's generalization
of the hard limiter, but found that to be a bit tricky without
original paper...

Thanks Magnus!
I have no access to IEEE papers.
It's a fairly recent paper (1996, I think), so odds are that Collins has
an email address in that paper (I don't have it in front of me, or I'd
check) that you could send an email to and ask.
His (then valid) email is not in the article.
If Collins is at an educational institution, they often have server
space to put the pubs of their staff online. IEEE allows an author to
put their own papers up on their own servers.
Ideally, of course, it was done with government funding, which often
comes with the "public work not subject to copyright" restriction. (note
that just because the gov't funded it doesn't guarantee no copyright,
it's just more likely)
It would be good if his article could be put up there in the public.
( a bit of searching.. Oliver Collins was at Notre Dame, in Indiana..
[email protected]...
However:
Oliver M. Collins, Notre Dame Prof, Accused Of Using Grant Money For
Porn [CORRECTION]
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/27/oliver-m-collins-notre-da_n_697429.html
http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2011-05-13/news/29542577_1_tenured-professor-fraud-claim-professor-of-electrical-engineering
A bit of a scandal there.
So it might be a bit tough to get a hold of Professor Collins at Notre
Dame these days. They seem to have purged everything online pertaining
to him, and I doubt they are forwarding his email.
I think I tried to find it there a few years back, but it was not online.
However, another search does turn up:
Oliver Collins, who now lives in Key West, Florida, ...
So maybe he'd be more than happy to talk about hard limiter design
instead of his recent academic career..
I think we care more about his hard limiter design than his aleged
explicit landscape photos...
You could try [email protected], for instance.
(IEEE AESS has [email protected] for his email on the page talking
about his Judith Resnik award. )
On the other hand, if he retired from the academic career he might have
dropped his IEEE membership in the process.
IEEE seems not to be in a haste to get into the new world of free
downloads for articles, when the rest of the world is moving there.
Cheers,
Magnus
