For the past few years I have reading eBooks on my HTC touch phone. On and off I have debated buying an eReader and recently purchased a Sony PRS-300 ...
Laplace transforms and their inverse are a mathematical technique which allows us to solve differential equations, by primarily using algebraic methods...
Exposure to time varying magnetic fields, from power frequencies to the gigahertz range can have harmful consequences. A lot of research has been conducted...
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...

GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
Fire resistant and fire retardant cable sheaths are design to resist combustion and limit the propagation of flames. Low smokes cables have a sheath designed...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
It wasn't so long ago I was telling someone that I don't use rules of thumb as most things are easily calculated anyhow. As it turns out I last week...
