Communication Handshaking

A few days ago I added a page to cover the Definition of Handshaking. The page is an addition to the current definition of a Hand-Shake that was already listed. It appears to be a pretty good start at addressing the protocol on how two devices pass data.

These days handshaking doesn't occur that often, most buses operate a lot faster using a clock. But for what ever reason I enhanced the definition. I'll finish up over the week, with more text and a few more examples.

Google indicates only one page view in the last few days, which would be from me? I also don't see the page come up in a Google search, but I'll check again a few hours after I post this.

CMOS Monostable Multivibrator

I added a new page to show the functional schematic of a CMOS 4098 IC, a Monostable Multivibrator. The page is linked off the page covering IC Functional Schematics. That section currently has 25 pages of functional IC schematics.

A related page covers Transistor Multivibrator Circuits. All the pages are linked off the Engineering Dictionary, for what ever reason.

I also updated the MIL-STD-1553 page too, in addition to many other pages.
