American Wire Gauge Table

Off the American Wire Gauge [AWG] page I added the following links;
A chart of different Wire Gauge standards,
AWG sizes in metric,
AWG table for 25C and 65C,
Equivalent Cross section of wire
Monel wire table,
Nichrome wire table,


Also under the Conversion page, I added these new links:
Table of Logarithms,

Square Centimeters to Square Inches Conversion Chart,
Centimeters to Inches Conversion Chart,
Grams to Ounces Conversion Chart.

All of these pages are holding charts or tables indicated by their page titles. The charts are picture files.

Brown and Sharpe Wire Gauge

I added a notes page to address the Brown and Sharpe company and its link to the American Wire Gauge. The link is off the main AWG page. Many pages on the web make note of the Brown and Sharpe table, but the reference is really outdated.

I also added a page which details the Right Hand Rule, linked off the Electronic Glossary page.

Also up-dated a few other pages;
Interface Buses, starting with the letter "C",
Engineering Abbreviations, letter "On",
Engineering Abbrevations, letter "Me",
Engineering Abbrevations, letter "Ma",
Engineering Abbrevations, letter "Ha"
Engineering Glossary of Terms, Letter "Es",
Engineering Glossary of Terms, Letter "Ja",

Most of these page up-dates were very minor.

Digital TV Channels

What are the new Digital TV channels, well here are the DTV channels. Keep in mind that TV stations do not have to transmit in High Definition TV [HDTV], they are only required to broad cast in digital [under the new rules from the FCC]. The DTV channel's page also indicates the frequency bands of operation.

The HDTV Display Technologies page was also up-dated, but only to display the new link. A link was also added from the Engineering Acronyms 'D' page.

The blog picture show the frequency bands that are being freed up by moving to Television transmitted in Digital format instead of the older analog format. These open frequency bands will be actioned off in January of 2008 ~ see the normal blog for more info, linked of the main interfacebus page.

External Memory Interface Description


I added a page to cover the External Memory Interface [EMIF]. The Asynchronous External Memory Interface (EMIF) bus is used in DSP and Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC) ICs produced by Texas Instruments (TI).

I also updated the Firewire bus page to indicate the speed improvement from the up-coming release of the newest version.

I also up-dated a number of pages yesterday, but nothing to write about.....
