I'm in the preliminary stages of designing an ASIC that has
2,147,450,880 memory locations.  Each memory location contains 256
bits of a score value.  Bus A, for data coming out of the memory loca-
tions, and Bus B, for data coming into the memory locations, connect

i'm a first yearite in elec engg,and i have an introductory course in
electronics.but unfortunately my instructor is horrible and i hardly
understand anything in his lectures.
however i'm really interested in learning electronics throughly

What a bunch of bullshit.  I just read the list of grants that OSHA has just
awarded.  It sounds like Hispanics for G.W. Bush, Inc.  What a bunch of
bullshit.
Read it yourself:

Looking for source code or drivers for talking to CAN J1939 devices /
network. Operating systems include Winxx and Linux.

This question goes out to anyone who's dealt with EMI control and
small-voltage surge suppression.
I'm designing a PCB to control a nd:YAG laser head, which includes the
low-voltage circuits (motors, shutters, sensors, etc).  However, the

I have bought a whirlpool bath and was wondering if anyone can enlighten me
on the electrical installation requirements for this in the UK.

Why is ribbon cable (3M 3365 for example) rated to 300V in North
America and only 50V in the European Union?

I measured the current on the AC cord to a file server with a clamp (on
an extension cord that I broke the wires out of) and a Fluke 73.
Does it matter that the 73 is not true RMS?  I thought the wave would be
nearly a sine.

Whenever I turn on a dryer, sweeper, toaster or microwave or other demanding
voltage devices, some of the lights in my house dim and others brighten.
I took the panel off my breaker box, and found with a voltage meter that one
bus goes up to 133 volts while the other drops down as ...

I'm wanting to install a large box with 4 outlets in it.  So I have my
feed coming in and the black going to the top brass screw the white
going to the top silver screw and the bare copper going to the green
ground screw.  Then I have a pigtail Black going from the bottom brass

The 50 or so PLCs installed where I work are all wired using 120 VAC control
circuits. Limit switches, manual switches, proximity switches and such all
source 120 volts to their particular PLC inputs. When not closed, the wire
to each input floats (actually, it is capacitively ...

Or how to waste a huge amount of time and effort trying to invent
something when you don't understand the physical principles involved.

Have a spectrum control SOI 200 here in a water treatment facility.  They've
lost the user manual for it, it's hooked up to a SLC 5/02.  Anyone in the
group know where I could obtain a user manual, preferably download in .pdf?
Tried emailing the manufacturer and manufacturer's new ...

sorry if this is the wrong news group.
can i fit flush wall sockets into a dry line wall?
If so what boxes do i use?
thanks in advance

A couple questions on arc flash protection requirements.
Is flash arc protection required when you follow the 120 section and
do a lock out and tag out on electrical equipment?  (Just in case
there is a difference I am reading from the 2004 edition.)
