Check out two In-Depth articles recently added to the site. They cover, the selection and application of strain gauges, and the impact on design techniques of moving from DDR2 to DDR3 memory.Stress out; strain gauges in
Strain gauges are the fundamental sensing elements for many types of sensors, including pressure sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and position sensors. Most strain gauges are foil types, available in a wide choice of shapes and sizes to suit a variety of applications (Figure 1). They consist of a pattern of resistive foil, which is mounted on a backing material.

Evolving to DDR3 technology
Applications demanding higher system bandwidth and lower power, such as converged notebooks, desktop PCs, and servers, continue to drive the evolution of industry standards, including DDR3 (double-data-rate 3), as the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) Solid State Technology Association defines it.Read the full article
