The article tends to credit Pete Paulin with creating modern cryoprocessors. Computer (or microprocessor) control of common long before Mr. Paulin learned of cryogenics. Industrial grade microprocessor based controls similar to those used in heat treating ovens were in common use in cryogenic processing years before Mr. Paulin stuck a home computer on a commercially made freezer. Industrial grade controls are more reliable and better suited to the dusty, humid areas likely to be seen in industrial settings, and are not as easily affected by electrical interference from electric motors and such.
<< Industrial grade "microprocessors" were able to control certain aspects of the process but not to map out and control certain profile descents. This required complex programming which was pioneered by 300 Below with Mr. Paulin as its leader. If you research the 300 Below processors they DO use industrial components and controls to make them more reliable. It's just that a computer is controlling the "on/off" switch of sorts.
