OK, so no EP boom but there appear to have been a small puff…

Posted Feb 17, 2012, by Per Viklund

The IPC Embedded Mailing list (EmbeddedNet@IPC.org) has been silent –some may claim stone dead for a very long time. My article and subsequent blog posts claiming that there never was an Embedded Passive boom apparently provoked some and an intense discussion broke out on the mailing list where EP material vendors, IPC, EIA, EIC standardization committee members, PCB designers, board shops….argued … Read More

Advanced tools mitigates risks with Embedded Passives (EP’s)

Posted Feb 7, 2012, by Per Viklund

New technology is cool but… with most new processes there are risks to be managed. Usually new technologies promises/offers higher design performance, lower product costs and or faster design turn around but, failing to manage the risks can cause all the benefits to go down the drain. Embedded Passives are no exception –on the contrary, there are many pitfalls that can result in bad boards –expensive … Read More

Personalized Menus - Use them?

Posted May 12, 2009, by Charles Pfeil

While we are on the subject of user interfaces, what about Personalized Menus? They are an optional method in Office 2003, accessed through the Customize dialog. They don’t exist in Office 2007; but since there has been general agreement (at least from most of the people I discuss it with) that the Office 2003 Menus, I thought I would bring them up to see if they are preferred or not. If you uncheck … Read More
