Moore’s Law is perhaps the most important law in the world of computing and technology today. Moore’s Law is an observation that was made by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, in 1965. Moore observed that the number of transistors that engineers would be able to fit on a square inch worth of integrated circuits…
There is a new kid on the block when it comes to microchips and its name is grapheme. It is a new technology that has the potential to produce enormous benefits in just a few years from now. IBM claims that they have a grapheme chip that is the most innovative and fully functional integrated…
If you’re wondering what aerospace is, it’s actually a broad term for the collective effort by the business, engineering and science to fly navigate the Earth’s atmosphere (aeronautics) and (astronautics) outer space. If you’re working in the aerospace sector, you already know that technology used in aerospace is a combination of engineering technology and electronics…
Modern warships wouldn’t have the power that they have if they didn’t have electronic equipment in them. In this article, we’re going to list the electronics in modern warships. Electronics in modern warships are special in that they have to be especially made for the marine environment. They should be small enough to fit inside…
Counterfeit electronic components make their way into different markets everyday but thankfully there are methods through which the government is able to detect incoming counterfeit products. In this article, we’re going to talk about the different methods for electronic component inspection. Electronic components can be tested through DNA marking, which refers to unique marks that…
Anyone in the aviation business will attest to the fact that the Airbus A380 is among the most modern air planes out there. But what goes on inside that beautiful piece of machinery? What electronic parts are associated with the Airbus A380, and where can you go to get them? Well, let’s take a closer…
Component and detailed parts need to go through a component inspection of a regular, pre-determined basis in order to prove their validity and ability to perform on an as advertised basis. The mechanical ability and dimensions will need to be checked and given a Go/No Go label based upon the specifications. With today’s ability to…
A passive electronic component is a component that consumes but does not produce energy and is incapable of power gain and does not require electrical power to operate. They absorb energy without creating any active gain and are present in most electrical items. Examples of passive electronic components are chassis, capacitors, resistors and enclosures. Let’s…
If you need to order a few electronic parts or a few hundred, you can save money by ordering surplus electronics from a reliable distributor. These parts are not inferior to the ones you can find at any other retail or wholesale shop. It is just that some companies have ordered too many parts for…
Military electronics is a pretty broad topic, and you should know that it covers several different categories. Armed forces take advantage of the latest in high-tech gear in order to gather information, defend itself, and store information. Along with all of these sophisticated machines, they also need qualified technicians who can run them. The US…
Everything moves so fast in today’s society, so it is pretty easy to understand the importance of managing risks that may almost seem unmanageable.
