Each week, the editor of Planet Analog finds items of interest and then features them in two sections, entitled “Also of Interest” and “Elementals”. Each cites items from publications outside the Planet Analog and EETimes portfolios.
“Also of Interest” and “Elementals” is an extension of our belief that engineers are interested in on-going tutorial on obviously relevant topics, as well as the serendipity of exploring topics which are not directly related to their jobs, but which will broaden their knowledge and sometimes spurs innovative and creative approaches. The first box highlights a items of general interest to the engineer, while the second highlights basic and tutorial electronic-engineering material.
Among the publications we check are IEEE Spectrum , Machine Design , Design News , Laser Focus World , EDN , Electronic Design , NASA Tech Briefs , Portable Design , and Physics Today , plus others.
Consider these items as “online-only” extras, and worth a look. (Please note: there are also links to the previous weeks' editions, at the bottom).
Also of Interest:
Next time you watch a major sports event on TV, especially those in high definition, you could be seeing it through the lens of an ActionCam HD from Action- Cam: “Safety Brake Helps Put High-Def Eye in the Sky,” Machine Design , December 11, 2008
By creating photonic bandgaps analogous to the electronic bandgaps that underlie modern semiconductor electronics, photonic crystals have created new types of optical devices: “Photonic Frontiers: Photonic crystals foster a burst of innovation,” Laser Focus World , January 2009
