Flexible circuit boards give you flexible solutions We all know in business you need to be flexible – be just-in-time, use kanban etc etc, and this train of thought also needs to be applied to your PCB design process. For the non techies reading this, The PCB (printed circuit board) you see today have really […]
The PCB Design Magazine by Andy Shaughnessy Some PCB designers say that working with their design engineers is one of their biggest hurdles. Others say it all comes down to a lack of com-munication. We asked a variety of engineers and designers to discuss the reasons for this divide, and what can be done to […]
Thermal coefficient of dielectric constant is the answer – what’s the question? Every material has a thermal coefficient of dielectric constant (TCDK), which is used to determine how materials will change as temperatures change. As always, our general news, and info updates, we try not to get too technical, just present information to highlight issues, […]
Libraries are the backbone of the PCB design Firstly my apology for the analogy of wallpapering and pcb Libraries. It is only because as we approach the festive period I find myself having a couple of last-minute interior decorating tasks I need to complete before the big day. As I got the pasting table out, […]
Electronic hands do the talking for sign language In our spate of investigations into what Ukrainian technology has contributed to the electronics and PCB industry, this electronic hands to enable-talk,we love! Four Ukrainian students have created gloves that produces speech from sign language! Yes, an electronic system allowing speech and hearing-impaired people to communicate with […]
Ukrainian technology and circuit board design. With our previous posts about our reflection on Ukrainian technology, its evolution and impact on PCB and circuit board design, I recently read information about the development of the helicopter. The world’s first production helicopter was a Sikorsky’s R-4B Hoverfly. It was developed from Igor Sikorsky’s famous VS-300 experimental […]
Computer Mushrooms in electronics Ok …please bare with me on this one. A research group from the Johannes Kepler University in Austria has developed a biodegradable alternative to some plastics found in batteries, computer chips, and PCB material. The material is made from the skins of mushrooms, more specifically, using Ganoderma lucidum mushroom skins to […]
Just returned from a holiday catching some sun before the winter sets in. One thing with running your own business is that even on holiday things need to stackup, you want to be contactable just in case there are some questions. I took with me a laptop and my mobile, mobile for the email monitoring […]
