| Join us on a pedagogical and fantasmagorical History of Computers, in which we cruise through time to discover some of the key developments that have brought us to our present state of computing, including the development of numbers, the introduction of mechanical aids to calculation, and the evolution of computers. |
| As part of one of our current projects we started to play with a simple LCD display, but the databook (for which we paid hard-earned money) turned out to be pretty useless. Then we discovered a brilliant article in Everyday Practical Electronics (EPE) magazine in the UK, and they kindly allowed us to reproduce it here (Part 1 = 241KB and Part 2 = 160 KB). (Note that both of these files are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. If you don't have the reader already, you can download it for free from Adobe's web site at www.adobe.com). | Karnaugh maps provide an alternative technique to truth tables for representing Boolean functions. This technique, which was invented by Maurice Karnaugh, in the 1950s, quickly became one of the mainstays of the digital logic and computer designer's tool-chest. This introduction to Karnaugh Maps shows how they can be used to minimize logic functions, and how they can take advantage of incompletely specified functions. | |
| Learning the C Programming Language can be a little tedious if you're not careful, so lecturer Rob Miles of the Electronic and Computer Engineering departments of the University of Hull in England has kindly allowed us to present his fun and easy-to-read "Introduction to C Programming." This work is copyright Rob, so please contact him directly (via email at R.S.Miles@e-eng.hull.ac.uk) if you wish to use this work for anything other than your own personal edification. | ||
| Take a stroll through our Electronics Glossary to track down the meaning of those pesky terms who delight in leaping out and biting you when you least expect it! | As the size of transistors on integrated circuits continue to shrink to fractions of a millionth of a meter, their delay effects become ever-more complex. This article on Deep Submicron Delay Effects explains all. | |

| Titillate your taste-buds with our fulsomely flavored, "No-Holds-Barred Seafood Gumbo." This frisky little number will grab you by the short-and-curlies, swing you around the room, and leave you groveling on your knees, gnashing your teeth, and gasping for more. | As we all learned on our mother's knee, seafood is brain food, so what could be better than wrapping our laughing tackle around a fishy dish? But for what kind of fishy dish could we wish? Well fear not my braves, because we have in our possession the recipe for "The best damn Clam Chowder in the world!" | |
| Pickled onions in England are crispy and crunchy and full of flavor, and they delightfully complement cold meats and cheeses. Ah .... my mouth is starting to water as I pen these words. Sad to relate, American onions seem to leave one somewhat unfulfilled, so here for the very first time is my mother's recipe for Pickled Onions That Bite Back! | ||
