Resistor Types
Resistors are used in quantities of billions every day in electronics manufacture. While they may appear to be relatively "low tech" they are nevertheless important and they have been developed over many years to provide very high levels of performance and reliability. The choice of the correct resistor is often important in many electronic designs. Read more . . .

AXIe, AdvancedTCA Extensions for Instrumentation and Test
AXIe is a relatively new standard for a modular test and instrumentation system which seems to be little known, although supported by many major test equipment manufacturers. It uses existing technologies such as PXI as a starting point for its development concepts, but it provides a greater level of capability, and instrument manufacturers are already showing their new AXIe products.

Facts of the day
29 January 2012
History - It was on this day in 1907 that de Forest filed a patent for his new "grid type" Audion - a triode valve or vacuum tube. On a more humorous note it was on this day in 2004 that there was a case of an exploding whale in Taiwan. It was said that a buildup of gas inside a decomposing 56 foot long Sperm Whale caused it to explode while it was being transported to have a post-mortem performed.
Quote - How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is clearly Ocean. - Arthur C Clarke, English science fiction author and the person who first thought of geostationary satellites
Fact - The first patent for a battery operated personal calculator where the computation was undertaken in a single chip was granted to Texas Instruments in 1974.
