Premier Batteries - 20 years on
Premier Batteries commenced business in 1986 in a small factory unit at Chipping Norton. Today they have grown, changed direction, moved to larger premises and evolved to be the largest local manufacturer of two-way radio batteries in Australia
[ + ]Basics of MOSFETs Part 2
Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today's VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly different from the design used in VLSI devices
[ + ]How to develop a 10 Gb connector
The design process for a high-speed connector is coloured by the experiences of the individual designer and his/her exposure to different aspects and requirements of the products he or she has developed in the past

Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today's VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly different from the design used in VLSI devices
[ + ]Our landfills are wasting away
Disposing of unwanted electronic equipment has become an issue that gets bigger every day. But moves to recycle computers are in danger of stalling. Here, David Braue looks into why landfills are still gobbling up electronic waste at an alarming level
[ + ]Liquid cooling helps processors beat the heat
A technique for fabricating liquid cooling channels onto the backs of high-performance integrated circuits could allow denser packaging of chips while providing better temperature control and improved reliability
[ + ]Playing the cards with embedded devices
Intel originally designed the Pentium M processor for mobile systems, such as notebooks, to meet the special requirements in this area. Nevertheless, these same characteristics also predestine this processor for embedded applications
[ + ]EMC for functional safety
Electronic technologies are increasingly used in equipment that has an impact on safety. Unfortunately, all electrical and electronic technologies are inherently prone to suffering inaccuracy due to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
[ + ]The story of PCI Express
As PC technology has evolved, the ability to use standard desktop and portable computers for test, control and design applications has improved dramatically
[ + ]Non-contacting potentiometer opens new perspectives
While the degree of precision and reproduction accuracy are unable to match those of costly digital systems, there are many applications that do not require this performance level
[ + ]Where in the world do connectors fit?
Whether you design or purchase connectors, understanding connector technology and discussing technology trends requires a basic look at where connectors fit into the world of electrical/electronic applications. This article explains that relationship
[ + ]Batteries for life
The world is going wireless. Currently, there are about 80 million wireless-monitoring systems in use worldwide. Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently outlined 12 top requirements for an ideal wireless sensor
[ + ]Fuel cell hydrogen promises portability
Engineers at Purdue University have developed a way of producing hydrogen for fuel cells to automatically recharge batteries in portable electronics, such as notebook computers, and eliminate the need to use a wall outlet
[ + ]Let there be light...emitting diodes
Russell Dupuis talks about the development and future of this revolutionary technology in conversation with Jane Sanders
