Electronic cigarettes‚ or e-cigarettes‚ have become increasingly popular in recent years. Regular cigarette smoking has been on the decline due to many factors including price‚ health risks‚ and the fact that most public places no longer allow indoor smoking; making it an inconvenience to step outside and light one up. The convenience‚ affordability‚ and health benefits are just a number of reasons the electronic cigarette is rising in popularity. A comparison between e-cigarettes and regular

In 1965‚ Dr. Gordon Moore working as the Director of R&D for Fairchild Semiconductor published a paper titled “Cramming more components onto integrated circuits”. In his paper‚ he discusses the future of electronics and how these “integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers—or at least terminals connected to a central computer—automatic controls for automobiles‚ and personal portable communications equipment”. He also discusses how the rate in which the number of transistors

PROJECT IN T.L.E Electronic Components Diodes a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance‚ it has low (ideally zero) resistance to current flow in one direction‚ and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. A semiconductor diode‚ the most common type today‚ is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals. A vacuum tube diode has two electrodes‚ a plate (anode)

Toys Inc. has been in business for 20 years and has built its reputation on quality and innovation. Despite the strong history in the toy business‚ sales have seemed to level off and even fall below where they once were. As a consultant called in for advice‚ I see several problems in the company’s production as well as quality control. The decline has less to do with “the economy” and more in Toys‚ Inc’s approach to their management of quality. As Stevenson (2012) reminds us‚ “top management has
