Karel Tavernier of Ucamco and Julian Coates of Mentor Graphics engage in a spirited back-and-forth discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of Gerber and ODB++. Hemant Shah and Ed Acheson of Cadence Design Systems discuss the latest updates to IPC-2581, and Amit Bahl of Sierra Circuits explains how IPC-2581 can help streamline the development of stack-ups. And Julian Coates offers the most current information about the ODB++ format.
You'll also find an article by Paul Reid, and a regular column by Bob Tarzwell and Dan Beaulieu.
All this, plus industry news highlights and upcoming events, can be found in this month's issue of The PCB Design Magazine.
Download the December 2012 issue of The PCB Design Magazine now! Our sophomore issue focuses on routing and placement strategies and challenges, with feature articles and columns by the design industry veterans you've come to know and trust through PCBDesign007 and the Inside Design Newsletter.
Placement and routing is only getting tougher as real estate shrinks and densities increase. And there are as many routing techniques as there are designers. Some PCB designers would rather cut off their left arm than use an autorouter.
This month, Barry Olney of In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd lays out his top techniques for interactive placement and routing, including using cross-probing between the schematic and PCB. And Noah Fenley of ACD discusses DFA tips and tricks for avoiding footprint errors, cumulative pin-pitch mistakes, and other miscues that might trigger a late-night call from your EMS provider.
Our December issue also features our top columnists Doug Brooks, Jack Olson, Tom Hausherr and Abby Monaco. And help us welcome our newest columnist, Amit Bahl of Sierra Circuits. If you design complex, HDI boards, Amit's column Design for Manufacturing is a must-read. In Amit's inaugural column, he explains why it's so important for PCB designers to turn off their iPods, step away from their CAD systems, and go visit a fabricator. When was the last time you saw the inside of a board shop?
Designers have a plethora of ideas about how to best layout a PCB. But how many designers understand that good design techniques can lead their company to greater success, and even profit? In our cover story, Prototron's Mark Thompson offers 10 design strategies that can help your bottom line. We also feature articles on profitable design strategies by Gary Griffin of Fast Interconnect and Barry Olney of In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd. And we round out this issue with interviews with Nolan Johnson of Sunstone Circuits and Greg Roberts of EMA Design Automation.

Years ago, signal integrity was a problem for the EEs to deal with. But at today's high speeds, even short traces can be affected by transmission line issues. This month, The PCB Design Magazine delves into the world of signal integrity.
Yuriy Shlepnev of Simberian discusses the design of PCBs and packaging interconnects for data links running at 28–32 Gbps bitrates. And Barry Olney of In-Circuit Design focuses on the effects of crosstalk, timing and skew on signal integrity. You'll also find an article by John Parry of Mentor Graphics, and regular columns by Charles Pfeil, Bob Tarzwell and Dan Beaulieu, John Coonrod, and Tim Haag.
All this, plus industry news highlights and upcoming events, can be found in this month's issue of The PCB Design Magazine.
Our first issue focuses on high-speed design challenges, with feature articles and columns by design industry veterans from all over the PCB design community This month, veteran author and instructor Lee Ritchey presents a tutorial on proper PCB stackup. Longtime HDI technologist Happy Holden traces the advancements in speed and density that he's seen in his many years as a judge on Mentor Graphics' Technology Leadership Awards program. And John Levreault of Orvelle Technologies provides a case study that focuses on two super-small, super-dense boards that he designed.
Is the Cloud the limit? In our Articles Department, Iain Wilson of Iron Atom explains the ins and outs of their new Cloud-based pre-CAM tool. And don't miss the star columnists who you've come to know and trust in PCBDesign007 and the Inside Design newsletter: Barry Olney, Istvan Novak, Doug Brooks, Bert Simonovich, Paul Reid, and Tom Hausherr. And please extend a warm welcome to our newest columnist, Jack Olson, who goes in depth into the principles and fundamentals of PCB design in his own unique way. If you know Jack, you know what we're talking about!
We can't make all of your design challenges go away. But in each issue of The PCB Design Magazine, we'll offer you the information you need to make your job simpler, if not easier.
Some PCB designers say that working with their design engineers is one of their biggest hurdles. Others say it all comes down to a lack of communication. We asked a variety of engineers and designers to discuss the reasons for this divide, and what can be done to address this problem. This month we have feature articles by design instructor Rick Hartley and Analog Home's Steve Hageman, as well as interviews with lead designer Andy Critcher of Total Board Solutions and Randy Faucette, director of engineering at Better Boards Inc.
hWe also have an interview with Todd Westerhoff of SiSoft, and Adcom's Ruth Kastner discusses the design that lead her team to win a Mentor Graphics Technology Leadership Award this year. And we're introducing guest columnist Mark Tinkler of Vision Circuits.

What is Signal Launch and Why Should You Care? by John Coonrod
The term "outsourcing" often conjures up negative images of PCB design jobs being sent overseas. But some day, your team may need to send designs out, for a variety of reasons. It pays to be prepared, just in case. This month, The PCB Design Magazine digs into the details of design outsourcing.
Mike Creeden of San Diego PCB outlines when you should outsource, when you shouldn't, and some of the myriad sources for outside design help. †And Kelly Dack focuses on setting up a list of deliverables and making the right contacts—before you need them. You'll also find an article by Joe Fjelstad of Verdant Electronics, and regular columns by Barry Olney, Istvan Novak, Abby Monaco, and Bob Tarzwell and Dan Beaulieu.
All this, plus industry news highlights and upcoming events, can be found in this month's issue of The PCB Design Magazine.
It's a New Year, and time to put our party hats away. We're sure to face a variety of opportunities and challenges over the next 12 months. This month, our contributors David Wiens, Mark Thompson, Martyn Gaudion, Sharon Starr, and Abby Monaco peer into their crystal balls and discuss what we can expect in the coming year or so.

PCB designers get downright exorcised about their EDA tools. One point of contention has to do with automation itself: How much is too much? Some designers prefer manual control—not just for routing, but for much of the layout. Others want as much automation and horsepower as they can get. This month, our feature story by Intercept Technology's Abby Monaco highlights the challenges EDA software companies face trying to give designers the power, and control, that they need. UTC's Stephen V. Chavez explains why he prefers a mix of control and automation, and why mastery of each EDA tools is critical. Guest Editor Kelly Dack discusses why he prefers manual control for autorouting and more. And Barry Olney explains why artificial intelligence should be built into EDA tools from scratch, citing some of the repetitive tasks that could be addressed easily with AI.
We also have an interview with DownStream Technologies co-founder Joe Clark, and Joe Fjelstad's review of last month's TIE PCB design show in Romania.

Guide to big data analytics tools, trends and best practices
A comprehensive collection of articles, videos and more, hand-picked by our editors
TDWI at work on maturity model for big data analytics
TDWI's Fern Halper talks about work underway to develop a big data analytics maturity model. She said organizations are taking different tacks.
Guide to big data analytics tools, trends and best practices
While big data analytics is still new enough to evoke the aura of the Wild West, some companies have been at it...

long enough to develop true competencies. To capture and benchmark the evolving best practices of such companies, The Data Warehousing Institute is undertaking a new study, according to Fern Halper, author and research director for advanced analytics at The Data Warehousing Institute.
Early patterns are emerging. Halper said people addressing big data analytics tend to come at the problem from two distinct directions. Traditional companies focus one way, while Internet-based firms and smaller companies focus in another.
"The Internet companies are all about getting something done; they are about moving as fast as they can. That can be good, but it can come back to bite you," she said. "The larger companies are moving slower; they may build a proof of concept and it may take longer to permeate the organization."
Data managers at Internet or Web applications companies know they ultimately need to put more formal processes in place to handle big data analytics -- corporate compliance is often a driver -- but the shift in direction can be hard to manage if they are growing rapidly, according to Halper.
Internet companies are about … moving as fast as they can. That can be good, but it can come back to bite you.
Fern Halper,
research director, TDWI
Data managers at traditional enterprises also face hurdles moving big data analytics from initial deployments to wider uses. "It is hard to get from narrow, early adoption to broader corporate adoption for big data analytics," she said.
Maturity model has five dimensions
Halper, who earlier this year co-authored Big Data for Dummies with Judith Hurwitz, Alan Nugent and Marcia Kaufman, said The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) looks at big data analytics as the application of analytical techniques not just to big sets of data, but also to highly varied types of data. In fact, data shops that are adept at handling large data sets in transactional and relational form still have a lot to learn when they take on more varied information types, such as unstructured data, as part of new initiatives.
As part of the effort to create TDWI's Big Data Maturity Model, Halper talked with users and vendors, looking at five specific dimensions of the big data maturation process: organization, infrastructure, data management, analytics and governance.
She said a benchmark survey will be published on the TDWI site in October, and users will be able to go in, answer questions, and see where they stand relative to their peers in terms of maturity of big data analytics.

Leadership in the White House
In my own career in the military and a degree in personnel management, I have been able to observe people in positions of authority. I have been able to ascertain that there is a big difference between managers and leaders. I have observed many competent managers but real leaders are few and far between. Leaders engender trust and loyalty because in addition to managing, they take care of their people. A reading of the D-Day invasion and landing at Omaha beach will illustrate this point. ...

Your Key to Success
Added on May 6, 2011
Perseverance is our key to success. We would have observed many of the successful business people, whom we have known for years. Initially, they were not minting money as they are at the moment. It is a process. They had to first learn, plan, decide and implement them in their business. In a competitive business world, people are on the look out for new horizons in earning money online. The road is not smooth and it is our perseverance to succeed that would help us reach great heights.

Chris Bosh never wanted to take games off as a player and would give anything to be playing right now. So he has a very simple perspective on the NBA's rest-or-play debate .
"If you can play," Bosh said, "go out there and play."
Having the game taken away from him for what will amount to the last season-and-a-half — and counting, maybe for good — because of issues related to blood clots is still not an easy pill for Bosh to swallow. Now working as an analyst for Turner Sports, he's seeing the game in a different way than he was just a year or so ago.
He gets the players' side. He understands the fans' frustration. He's acutely aware of the...

Experimenting with a Vitis riparia and Cabernet blend is a good idea. I drank their wine while in the Black Hills at a campsite and rued that I didn't pick up a bottle to drink in a better glass.

Defense CIO Teri Takai took heat on the Hill over the speed of spectrum sharing plans. (File photo)
House members on both sides of the aisle are clearly frustrated at the Defense Department's pace in coming up with ways to clear or share radio spectrum coveted by industry for wireless broadband. At a June 27 hearing, Defense Department CIO Teri Takai took some heat from members who think the government, and DOD in particular, is slow-walking the process.
"We're serious about trying to compress this timeline and get answers," said Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee's subcommittee on Communications and Technology.
The Obama administration pledged to make 500 MHz of spectrum available to expand wireless broadband services as part of its 2010 National Broadband Plan, with spectrum coming from shifting some existing commercial and government users. Since 2004, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the Commerce Department office that manages federal spectrum holdings, has been charged with expanding commercial access to spectrum. Industry has its sights set on the 1755-1780 MHz band, which is used internationally for wireless services.
Currently DOD uses the spectrum for air combat training, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, precision guided munitions, satellite communications and more. There 'is growing urgency on the part of industry to make this swath of spectrum available, because it pairs well with the 2155-2180 MHz band, which the Federal Communications Commission is required to auction off by February 2015.
Takai listed a number of challenges that have prevented the military from committing to a specific plan of spectrum relocation. She said that moving the air combat training system into a more compressed patch of spectrum would limit the number of training missions that could be flown simultaneously, thus slowing down the rate of deployment of trained military pilots. More generally, Takai suggested that budget issues are playing a role in the pace of change. Because there are functional systems in place, she said, "we have not necessarily been able to put the dollars into putting new innovative technologies into those systems in order to do some of these things."
Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) said that Congress was going to need to develop incentives for agencies who are being asked to relinquish or share spectrum, but she also lashed out at the pace of the progress. "The same old-same old that prevailed for years simply is not going to be accepted around here," she said. "This is as serious as it gets. We really want to see some movement and some action in the right places."
The Defense Department is still firmly in study mode, however. In her prepared testimony, Takai said that DOD is looking to get past the problem of sharing information with the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from industry. The Pentagon has come up with a non-disclosure agreement for sharing controlled unclassified information, and is waiting for industry to sign. And officials have taken steps to evaluate the possibility of sharing spectrum with industry, including "allowing the wireless providers on selected DOD sites to monitor the spectrum, as well as modeling, simulation and analysis to develop an understanding of the sharing environment," Takai said.
According to Chris Guttman-McCabe, executive vice president of CTIA, a trade association representing the wireless industry, there is space for the military to relocate. "It looks like each of these services has a band they could go into – a band that is already a government utilized band," he said. His findings are contained in an industry "Road Map" filed with the FCC and the CPMAC.
At the hearing, Guttman-McCabe shared a copy of the report with Takai, prompting Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) to joke: "Just in that exchange, maybe six months were saved."
According to Takai, the Defense Department is taking this issue very seriously, with 50 full time staffers working on spectrum. But she said that without direction on whether they're going to be asked to compress current operations into new spectrum or share spectrum, the Defense Department could no't offer a timeline of moving out of the spectrum coveted by industry.
Going forward, DOD officials will have the opportunity to detail their progress at more-frequent intervals. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), ranking member of the full Energy and Commerce Committee, announced that he and committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) have asked for monthly meetings with the DOD, NTIA and the FCC. "We're not making progress fast enough," Waxman said. "The agencies seem to be pointing fingers at each other in justifying why they're not acting in accordance with the president's directives to free up the federal spectrum."

The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
Typical. Congress says "Do This!" with no idea what's involved, what will be lost, how to do it, or which direction to take. When things move slowly they blame the department. Hey, leaders...how about LEADING? I know it's not your SOP, but give it a shot.
I'm confused. I don't understand why it is more important for a teenager to text her girl friends than to defend the country. The frequency band under consideration is a key band for military comms, and to give it up to the telecons is stupid.

With higher food quality in increasing demand by consumers, there is continuous pressure on food engineers to meet market needs. One of the critical challenges is to use modern technology and knowledge to develop new processes for improving food quality. Given the global food marketplace, there is also a greater need for a means of objectively classifying and differentiating foods. Physical properties, determined by measurable physical parameters, profoundly affect food quality and can be used for these determinations. Physical Properties of Foods: Novel Measurement Techniques and Applications presents a wide range of these practical, low-cost techniques to characterize physical properties without destroying the food. The book presents principles and measurement techniques, highlighting the latest methods and their ability to replace the traditional costly, time-consuming ones. It also covers the application of the measurements to classify and differentiate various foods, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and dairy and meat products. The text gathers up-to-date procedures for determining the most important physical parameters that characterize food quality, many of which have not previously been sufficiently described in the literature, and delivers them in one useful volume. It includes methods based on a variety of technologies such as electronics, spectroscopy, mechanics, and acoustic response-which can be applied to a wide range of foods. With a focus on practical application of novel techniques, chapters specify method details, the type of food to which it has been applied, the accuracy, its ability to replace traditional techniques, as well as whether it can be installed on line. Written by internationally renowned engineers and scientists, this reference offers crucial information in an easily accessible format for engineers, researchers, and those in the food industry-all who will benefit from the cutting-edge practices described for measuring parameters that affect food quality and food characterization. The text is also an excellent resource for students and university researchers.

Why the USA didn't join the league of nations
5 reasons the USA didn't join the league of nations in 1920
- Created by: James Ellis
- Created on: 09-04-13 17:51
First 508 words of the document:
Why didn't the USA join the League of Nations?
After the First World War the treaty of Versailles was agreed to and signed by all the
allies imposing sanctions on Germany to prevent them starting a future war. The US
president at the time Woodrow Wilson wanted to put in it to establish a league of nations
to stop future wars through cooperation. But after the treaty was signed the US didn't
become a permanent member because of a number of factors:
At the time of the War many American immigrants had German links and were
strongly against the treaty because of how hard it was on the German people. Being against
the treaty meant that they were against the league for two reasons: one It was a term of
the treaty that they were against so strongly and Two Germany were not allowed to join the
league of nations to begin with so would not be able to stand up for them selves and did
not have the support of the other member states if someone attacked them and Germany
were unable to protect themselves.
Other Americans objected to the plans because after the Americans had over 600000
troops killed in the short time they were involved in the First world war and so feared many
more American lives would be lost if they were taken to fight in other wars that did not
affect America. They thought that as soon as two nations had a disagreement US' troops
world be shipped there to sort it out meaning loss of life and money/ recourses.
The US business sector didn't like the plans either because it would mean that the US
would spend limitless amounts of money working toward world peace potentially causing
the US economy to slow, also they thought that joining the League of Nations would mean
that they might be put under heavy trade restrictions limiting the marked for US goods. For
example if a nation either pulled out of the league or were seen by the league as doing bad
thing this could mean that the League banned its members from trading with a particular
And also the US Were anti the British and French empires having once been part of
both of them some thought that by joining the league that the US would become a police
force for the European colonies. Others feared that the league was the first step in either:
regaining control over the US, increasing the size of their empires or ruling the whole world
from Europe with either Britain or France at the helm.
Finally before the vote was held President Woodrow Wilson fell ill meaning that he
could not campaign for the League bill to become law so on the 19th of march 1920 the
senate defeated the bill 49 votes to 35.

Asian stock markets were higher Thursday, led by a rally in Tokyo after the yen slumped to a six-month low against the dollar overnight.
The Nikkei 225 index NIK, +1.00% rose 1.1% to 15,627.52, edging above its May closing high for the year at 15,627.26. The index remains shy of its intraday peak for the year, also hit in May at 15,942.60.
"Traders are happy to be long heading into tomorrow's [inflation] data," said Stan Shamu, a market strategist at IG in Sydney.
Shares of Japanese exporters climbed on the weaker yen, which helps the competitiveness of their goods abroad. Auto makers Honda Motor Co. 7267, +0.38% HMC, +0.10% and Mazda Motor Corp. 7261, +1.51% MZDAF, -2.58% traded up nearly 2%, while shares of Panasonic Corp. 6752, +2.59% rose 1.5%.
The dollar USDJPY, -0.06% pulled back from earlier highs in Asian trade, changing hands at ¥102.03 versus a six-month high of ¥02.28 hit overnight. The dollar has climbed nearly 4% against the Japanese currency this month as investors gird for a pullback in the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary easing program and anticipate further stimulus from the Bank of Japan.
Philippine banks reopen in typhoon-struck areas
Residents of typhoon-struck areas in the Philippines have been living for three weeks without access to badly needed cash. Kate O'Keeffe reports on how one branch managed to open even without electricity.
"As the market begins to consider the possibility of a Fed taper in December...and further BoJ action likely in the new year, we feel that the current move could be the beginning of the next step change," foreign-exchange strategists at Credit Suisse in a note to clients.
The investment bank raised its three- and 12-month forecasts for the dollar against the yen to ¥110 and ¥120 respectively, from ¥95 and ¥115 previously.
Elsewhere in the region, Chinese stocks traded higher after Asia's biggest economy reported a 15% increase in October industrial profits, outpacing a 13.5% increase the previous month. The Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -0.37% rose 1.3% and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index — which tracks mainland firms listed in Hong Kong — rose 0.9%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +1.10% was 0.1% higher and Korea's Kospi index SEU, +0.20% rose 0.8%.
