Inverter - The Power Backup
Executive Summary By Ron Victor
Tonysystem, - An inverter has the capacity to change the DC power into AC power which can be used for generating devices like kitchen appliances, computers, power tools and many more by just plugging the devices into the inverter. Low powered inverters are designed specially for low powered electronic appliances. Huge powerful inverters can be used for multiple small appliances or huge device that needs a high power requirement. The stand-alone inverter is the most familiar category of power inverter.
The two common types of power inverters: true-sine wave or modified-sine wave. True-sine wave inverters create power that is moreover identical to the public utility power grid system. Waveform is considered when choosing a power inverter.
An inverter charger combines power inverter and battery charger and transfer it to single unit.

Power Inverter Uses and Variations - Auto, Car, Boat, Laptops
Executive Summary By Brandon M. Leibowitz

Power Inverters, also known as power supply units or power converters, are a great way to power electronic devices when there is not a ready electrical outlet present but there is DC power available. The basic concept of a power inverter is that it can convert a car's 12 volt direct current power into the same type of alternating current power available from a wall socket, enabling electronics to charge while traveling.
On the market you can find an ever-increasing number of different power inverters. There are power inverters that can provide power for one, two, three, or four plugs simultaneously. There are also power inverters that contain USB ports that can charge USB-enabled devices; this can add to the functionality of your power inverter if you carry around devices like the popular iPhone.
Power inverters also differ in the amount of power they supply.

Veroboard and How to Construct an Electronics Circuit
Executive Summary By Alfred Chai Wei Liang

In electronics, one has to know about circuit building. Circuit building is an essential skill if one is interested to build robots. There are the bread board, 'vero board' and 'PCB' (printed circuit board). These three are the types of electronics circuits. A 'vero board' will have many holes lined up horizontally and vertically. If you have ten horizontal rows of holes, then you have ten horizontal wires. To insert the components into the board, you have to solder. Soldering is whereby you heat up the soldering iron tip until it is hot enough. Be wary of cold solder joints. A cold joint contains holes and cracks and voids inside.

Electronic Arts Shocks The Video Game Industry
Executive Summary By Sayed Islam
Tonysystem, - The game company known for the Madden video games and Lord of The Rings video games (Electronic Arts) has decided to purchase BioWare/Pandemic. Then, Electronic Arts did the remarkable Lord of The Rings games. Electronic Arts keeps making unbelievable decision after unbelievable decision. The future looks bright for Electronic Arts. More importantly, Electronic Arts will own the rights to MASS EFFECT!!! What does all this mean for Electronic Arts? For right now, BioWare/Pandemic and Electronic Arts are separate video game companies. January 2008 is when Electronic Arts will overtake BioWare/Pandemic. If Mass Effect comes to the PlayStation 3, then owners of the PlayStation 3 will give Electronic Arts a standing ovation.

Electronic Arts Giving Xbox 360 Preferential Treatment

An Electronic Arts representative admitted that the Xbox 360 has its advantages over the PlayStation 3. When the PlayStation 2 and Xbox first made their debut, it was easier for game developers to make games on the PlayStation 2. This was because game companies had more time to work with the PlayStation 2 than they did with the Xbox. As time progressed, games on the Xbox were as time consuming to make as they were on the PlayStation 2.

It simply means that video game companies need more time to work with the PlayStation 3's hardware. After gaming companies know how to utilize the PlayStation 3 to its full potential, PlayStation 3 will no longer be at the mercy of the Xbox 360.

Electronic Component Distributors
Executive Summary By Alison Cole
Tonysystem, - Sandwiched between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers, distributors of electronic components often find themselves in an awkward situation. Some, like Newark InOne of Canada, conduct testing to check if the component is compliant, and grade their suppliers accordingly. Customers will have to continue relying upon distributors to get assurance of compliance.

Among the top distributors of electronic components are Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Future Electronics, Bell Microproducts, Memec Insight, TTI, Newark InOne, Digi-key, All American and Nu Horizons. All of them distribute components like semiconductors, passives, electromechanical devices, connector products, computer equipment, embedded subsystems, crystals, test equipment, and active components, including analog, clock and timing devices, and so on.

Test Electronic Components
Executive Summary By Timothy Payn
To be able to test electronic components accurately is essential to identifying faults for any electronic repairer. Top quality electronic testing equipment is therefore much sought after.

Normally, however, this type of equipment to test electronic components can be relatively expensive, especially for do it yourself enthusiasts and people thinking about starting a small or part-time business.

There are some guides available to show beginners how to test electronic components and how to repair electronic devices and appliances. Good electronic test guides should include the following:

Secondly, make sure any guide not only explains how to make your own testing equipment but also explains which equipment to use for particular jobs, how you actually employ that equipment, what to test for and in what sequence. It's all very well to have superior testing equipment to hand but if there is no methodology to follow in testing, you will just be wasting your time.

Without doubt, working out how to test electronic components can become quite complex. Ensure any manual also covers testing for faults and shorts using an analogue meter and how to make such a meter.

Simple Ways To Understand The Filter Capacitors In Electronic Circuits
Executive SummaryBy Jestine Yong
You could see mica capacitors, ceramic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, paper capacitors and etc. Electronic Field - Act as filter to remove ripple in power supplies;

- As inter stage signal coupling capacitors- A capacitor will not pass DC, but an AC signal will go through;

- Tuning resonant circuits, oscillator circuits;

In today's article I'm going to talks about capacitor act as filter to remove ripple from power supplies. Usually, the filter includes one or more capacitors. The capacitors are then placed between the DC line and ground. This unwanted noise signal can cause problems in electronic circuit. If all capacitors checked okay I would then move on to another circuit. Why not one filter capacitor is enough for each DC line voltage? The answer is that the big filter capacitors (large value) at the secondary side of power supplies is to smooth the DC and remove unwanted lower frequency noise.

Executive Summary By Gina Abudi
Tonysystem, - Ensuring that the right people (such as stakeholders, project team members, project sponsors, etc.) get the right information at the right time for project status updates and to make decisions on projects requires a great deal of planning.  Communication Methods

    * Project team meeting
    * Stakeholder meetings
    * Portal or project intranet site
    * Collaborative work management tools

There are pros and cons to different methods of distributing (communicating) project information. General Categories of Communication

    * Face-to-face communications (group or individual meetings)
    * Hard-copy communications (letters, memorandum, reports)
    * Electronic communications (email, conference calls, web conferencing)

Hard-copy communications can really be combined with the category of electronic communications.  Given the shortage of time, tight budget controls, the need for project managers to manage multiple projects, and project team members spread out over the country or in different countries, electronic communication methods are quite common.  There are various methods of electronic communications and you may deploy a certain method depending on the communication need.  Communication Management Plan

(Reference: Project Management Body of Knowledge, 4th Edition, Chapter 10: Project Communications Management, Section 10.2.3)

    * Stakeholder requirements for communication
    * Reason for the distribution of the information (e.g., share information, make decisions)
    * Time frame and frequency of communications
    * Person responsible for communication of information
    * Methods or tools used to convey information (e.g., email, meetings)
    * Resources allocated for communicating information including time expectations and budget
    * Method for updating and refining the communications management plan
    * Flow charts depicting information flow in the project including workflows with sequence of authorization, reporting, meeting plans, etc.
    * Company policies around communications

    * Project alignment to organizational goals
    * Other factors relevant to your project, company, stakeholders, etc.

Basic Electronic Components and Supplies Needed by the Electronics Newbie
Executive Summary By Andy Bauer

Basic Components and Supplies to Start Out

Working on electronic projects is a great way of learning electronics and depending upon the project undertaken, a number of tools and electronic components may be needed accordingly. Carbon film resistors are a good choice for small electronic projects.
Ceramic disc capacitors or electrolytic capacitors are both good choices for beginning electronics projects, and again, a good variety would be needed in terms of values. Signal diodes are also a good buy for electronic projects and these electronic components find application in a number of projects. The next electronic component to consider would be rectifier diodes which are needed in power supplies. Transistors are the next electronic components to be considered. I recommend TO92 package for beginners.

A switch is a good component to have on hand. Depending upon the circuits and projects, some integrated circuits would also be needed. Depending on your project, how about a project box or enclosure?

A Complete Guide For Electronic Drums
Executive Summary By Victor Epand
Tonysystem, - Drums and drum sets form quite a variety and is almost an integral part of many different cultures.
What is Electronic Drums
Electronic drums are kind of percussion instruments where the sound is produced by an electronic waveform generator or sampler instead of by acoustic vibration. The electronic drummer has virtually boundless prospects for configuring many different sounding drum kits from one set of electronic drums, because of its capacity to assign diverse sounds to any given pad.
Electronic drummers, also add up, in sampling non-percussive sounds to use them as drum sounds. Electronic Drums Module
The modern drum modules are bundled with amazing features and the power to create unlimited drum kits. Acoustic drum kits build their sound through physical divisions of the drums, such as the shell, head and trapped air pressure within the drums.
Market for Electronic Drums
There are four electronic drum companies that control the market today. Drum kits being manufactured today have dealt with many of the inadequacies of early electronic drums.

The Benefits of Using an Electronic Drum Set
Executive Summary By Jamie Hanson

Likewise you had acoustic drums and nowadays the electronic drums have taken the music field. The acoustic drums are built to sound loud which gives a body shaking sound when attached to a live stage performance.
Acoustic drums cannot be silent whereas the electronic drum sets can be set for sound depending on the surroundings it is being played. The traditional drum disturbs the neighborhood. Similarly, in an acoustic drum you require to tune the drums and cymbals every time you perform. More advanced and high end electronic sets produce the sound which can be said to be near as an acoustic drum.
Traditional drums lose their sound when coming into moisture contact. Electronic drum set offers you with different selection of sound and sound level. While in the event of electronic drum it has several types of sound effects.
Initially the electronic drum sets were costly and was used by high level professionals.

Understanding the Basic Aspects of Electronic Components
Executive Summary By Eli Kahn
Tonysystem, - To understand the purpose of electronic components, it is important to first have a grasp on the basics of electronics. Some of the main electronic components are:

Resistors - A resistor is a component that is used to resist the flow of electricity, allowing only the desired amount to flow through. Resistor strength is measured in OHMs, but since there is generally a high resistance level, the prefixes kilo(k) and Mega(M) are used to delineate the strength. The capacitor strength is measured in farads(F) and uses the prefixes micro (millionth), nano (thousand-millionth), and pico (million-millionth) to measure its strength. These components are extremely small, so similar to the resistors, the capacitors are color coded to display the strength.

Diodes and Transistors - These both deal with modifying the flow of the electrical current. Both diodes and transistors are integral electrical components, and allow electronics to run smoothly.

Is it safe to use an electric blanket with a pacemaker?
Areas could become bunched and force the blanket to overheat. Alternatives include a hot water bottle, an extra blanket and wearing socks to bed.

Remote Control - The Adult Security Blanket
Executive Summary By Sam Robertson

People become terribly possessive of the remote. I've seen grown men fall asleep clutching onto the remote like a toddler with a teddy bear. I once overheard someone (I won't name names) speculate on the possibility of addictive properties in the remote's plastic casing, designed to leach into peoples' skin, or emit mind-altering gasses into the air, predisposing handlers to develop an unreasonable attachment to the remote itself, as well as a desire to witness copious quantities of TV programming. Anyone who's busy watching television isn't out recklessly wasting money (even the best cable channels or satellite TV packages don't require the extravagant resources tapped into for gambling, or shoe shopping) and watching TV isn't going to hurt anyone. There's no shortage of educational shows or thought-provoking documentaries on television.

TV viewing can be therapeutic. Part security blanket, part therapist, that little remote is a truly valuable household accessory.

How to Protect Your Electronics From Heat
Executive Summary By Darrell Edward Smith
Tonysystem, - 1.0 INTRODUCTION
    * DVD Players
    * Gaming Systems (e.g., Playstation, X-Box, Nintendo, Wii, etc.)
    * Heat
    * Electrical Surge/Spike Events, and
    * Electrical Noise

    * How is Heat destructive to your electronics?
    * What can we do about heat - How to Protect Your Electronics from Heat and Extend the Operating Life of our Electronics?

2.0 HOW IS HEAT DESTRUCTIVE TO YOUR ELECTRONICS
Heat is an artifact of electronics. All electronic systems generate heat. Electronic systems accept electrical power (current and voltage) from the power line (via the electrical outlet). The remaining portion of this electrical power is converted into heat.

However, heat is also an enemy of electronic systems. Few things are more effective in reducing the operating life-time of an electronic system, than raising the operating temperature of the electronic circuitry within your electronic system. The impact of heat (in shortening the operating life) of your electronics is "huge".

3.0 WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT HEAT?
As I mentioned earlier, all electronics generates heat.
3.1. REMOVING HEAT FROM THE ELECTRONICS
Many consumer electronic systems were designed with "Heat Removal" in mind. Some of these electronic systems (like desktop computers) contain "internal fans". These fans were designed into these systems so that they could blow air through the area in which the system electronics resides. Other electronic systems contain "vents" (in their outer case) to provide an "escape path" for heat. Make sure and have your appliances (like your Central Air Conditioning system or Heat Pump) serviced.
3.2 REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT THE ELECTRONICS GENERATE IN THE FIRST PLACE
Another approach to protecting your electronics from heat is to take steps to try to prevent your electronics from generating excessive heat in the first place.     * I represents the amount of current flowing through an electronic system and

    * R represents the load impedance (or resistance) within this electronic system; and

The answer to this question is "Yes", an electrical system does require a certain amount of current and voltage (electrical power) to do its job. By using the TVSS components, you are eliminating this excessive current (due to noise, glitches, etc.) from the "power line" current, flowing into your electronic system.

1. You have decreased the amount of current flowing into your electronic system, (which is the "I" in the expression "I^2 X R") - which helps a lot to reduce the amount of heat that the system generates.
2. By reducing the heat that the electrical system generates, you are now lowering the ambient (or surrounding) temperature in which your electronics operates.
3. Lowering the ambient temperature will often times also reduce the load impedance/resistance in your electronic system (e.g., the "R" in this expression) as well.

QUESTION: How can you reduce the load impedance/resistance in an electronic system? Isn't that a design feature of the electronic system?     * Using TVSS components lower the amount of current flowing through your electronic system.
    * Lowering this current reduces the amount of heat that the electronic system generates.
    * This lowers the ambient temperature for the system electronics.
    * Lowering the ambient temperature also lowers the load impedance/resistance (R) within the electronic system.

Both the reduction of current (and the resulting reduction of the load impedance) would serve to significantly reduce the amount of heat that the electronics system will generates.

    * How to Protect Your Electronics from Electrical Surge/Spike Events
    * How to Protect Your Electronics from Electrical Noise

    * Electrical Surge/Spike Events, and
    * Electrical Noise

1. Use (and do not thwart) the "Heat Removal" features of your electronic systems

2. Use TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) components to regulate the amount of voltage (and in turn) current that is flowing into your electronic systems: Minimizes heat generation due to resistive loss.

Electronic Circuits Design
Executive Summary By Zaakid Mata 
Tonysystem, - Will the circuit be used in heat? The components chosen need to fit these characteristics and also the electrical needs of the project, such as current draw, which if the circuit is to be battery powered is a major design issue.
 * Schematic Design: In this stage the electronic circuits are designed with their corresponding schematic diagrams.    
* Circuit Board Design: Now that the functional part the circuit has been designed and represented with the schematic, the next step is to design the circuit board where the actual components will be soldered. There are many automated tools to create circuit boards with a schematic.    
* Prototyping, Testing and Corrections: Another very important aspect of circuit design is prototyping and testing. All of the steps can be revisited as needed, since the function or characteristics of the circuit may change in the middle of the design, or the proposed design is way too complex or would take a lot of money or time to create or design.

The capacitors are then placed between the DC line and ground. This unwanted noise signal can cause problems in electronic circuit.
