Some Ideas of mine that were put in delabs Tweeter, related to EDA and Product Design

Product Design Optimization

Make Practical (it works), Affordable, Usable (ergonomics), Safe, Reliable (robust), Durable/Consistent & Maintainable (Servicing) Products.

Dust and Contamination in Connectors

Once i opened a RF Millivolt Meter of Marconi Instruments. It did not have a spec of dust inside, not even one micron size of dust particle.

Connectors exposed to Environment should not only be Corrosion resistant but also Dust, Grime & Insect Proof! Dummy Covers on exposed units.

Air Vents, Fans & Unused Slots in Modular Instruments. Missing Fasteners in cabinets, gaps in panel components collect Dust & Insects inside

Dust + Moisture + Smoke + Pollutants = Conductive Grime Deposits on PCB, Parts & in-between the IC pins. Can Simulation include this aspect.

Virtual Environmental Testing a part of simulation and EDA, just like Mechanical Modelling and Studying Thermal Gradients on PCB.

ARM926 Stand-alone Computer – KwikByte

“his ARM926-based stand-alone computer is an excellent choice for thin-client, low-cost, low-power consumption computing.

The small footprint and low power requirements (supports Power-over-Ethernet, PoE) make the KBAT9261 ideally suited for facility applications and remote computing.”

I got a Wireless Mouse from people who roast rss-xml. They gave me a mouse for interesting errors on my part. This mouse led me to buy two pairs of NiCd AA 1.2V and a Charger.Every three days i have to change a set of AA Cells. It is working out nicely, the wireless mouse is an advantage that you cannot ignore. Each time a sync has to be made between the mouse and an USB RF device. The optic ball-less mouse is a great step in mice-tech user-interface. This mouse consumes more power, for a wireless mouse a capacitive [Read More ....]

Electrical Engineering Metrics - EEMetric.com

Electrical Engineering Metrics What are the EE Metrics – Volts, Amps, Ohms, Henry, Farad, Watts and many more. “EE” is Electrical Engineering. “Metric” from Latin metricus is “relating to measurement”. Combining them is a Acro-Portmanteau. (Acronym) in reference to: EEMetric.com – Electrical and Electronic Measurement Technology (view on Google Sidewiki)
