It was a simple case of operator error, but glitches discovered this week on the federal government's stimulus money tracking web site gave skeptics plenty of ammo. Second District Congressman John Kline, a Lakeville Republican, seized on the error with a press release that questioned the credibility of the Obama administration's recovery effort. "Where are the jobs?" read the banner headline on Kline's Wednesday missive, "White House's answer? In fictitious districts."

Data acquisition instrument from Data Translation simplifies sound and vibration applications in remote or difficult applications. Data Translation has released its DT8837 high performance Ethernet (LXI) data acquisition instrument module for sound and vibration measurement applications. The unit allows you to sample up to four 24-bit IEPE accelerometer input channels independently at up to 52.7 kHz per channel or 210 kHz total throughput.  

The MACD is presently offering a bullish signal because it is above the signal line, a 9 day moving average, and higher than 0, which means that the underlying moving averages are trending higher. The Stochastic Oscillator is registering a strong bullish signal as the %K has crossed above the %D and the oscillator recently moved above the critical value of 20 and is no longer oversold. The On Balance Volume indicator (OBV) presently offers a bullish signal.  

Teseq Inc., a leading developer and provider of instrumentation and systems for EMC emission and immunity testing, now offers two new USB / RS232 electric field probes. The PMM EP-600 and EP-601 active broadband field probes benefit from a true spherical symmetrical dipole configuration. Sampling at a rate of 22 S/s to 0.03 S/s depending on filter settings, the probes' 6 monopole sensors sample data simultaneously on an X-Y-Z axis.  

While researching a paper in the library, I was struck by a memory of finding a book in my elementary school's library by searching for its location in a card index. Just what a card index was is beyond the grasp of my feeble memory, but the thought of not being able to type in a general description of what I'm looking for and having hundreds of related books, articles and sources regurgitated by the magnificent machine in front of me is terrifying. I was in front of that card index only 12 years ago.  

The electromagnetic coupling between cable bundles and their environment represents a very important and challenging class of EMC problems. For instance, consider the problem of a radiating source coupling to complex cable bundles mounted inside a car, truck, or bus. In such a case, the coupling is determined by the whole geometry of the vehicle, consequently a full-wave analysis of the vehicle as a whole is required.  

Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for OmniVision Technologies (Nasdaq: OVTI), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH), Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in predicting the ebb and flow of the markets during the last 12 months. He not only called the relief rally that started in November 2008 and nai  

DUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0290d1/level_sensors_a) has announced the addition of the "Level Sensors - A Worldwide Market Review" report to their offering. The advent of micro-technology has revolutionized the electronics industry so much so that miniaturization has now become a cue word across the globe. Further, the role played by micro-technology is enormous and sensors, as an offshoot of this know-how, are used in most of the industrial  

The S08MP16 8-bit MCU family provides a low cost, intelligent solution for a myriad of brushless DC motor control applications. The ICs three high-speed analog comparators and a powerful eight-channel PWM module provide protection against overcurrent conditions with fast and accurate shutdown. The chip has 16 Kbytes of flash, a 12-bit A/D converter, two programmable delay blocks, SPI and IIC serial interfaces, a CRC engine, a watchdog/COP with independent clock option, and a programmable gain amplifier.  

San Jose, Calif.— Avago Technologies says its ACPL-M50L single channel optocoupler operates on approximately 80 percent less drive current than today's standard 1MBd digital optocouplers. Available in a small outline-5 (SO-5) package size, Avago's ACPL-M50L high speed digital optocoupler supports a wide supply voltage range from 2.7 to 24-volts and is driven by low forward drive current (IF > 3mA) with a high current transfer ratio (CTR > 80 percent min.) to allow direct drive from a microcontroller with
