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 Many pages on the web make note of the Brown and Sharpe table, but the reference is really outdated.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.....

I added the EIB page, which has a very brief description of the Element Interconnect Bus. The EIB interface is a internal IC bus used to connect functions within a Cell processor. Links were added to that new page from the IC Buses page, and the Buses by letter page; 'E' buses.
Also added a few new acronyms, the letter 'E' pages were updated:

TI DSP Interface Bus
A description of the Multichannel Buffered Serial Port [McBSP] has been added. The McBSP interface is used on Texas Instruments DSP processors, which may also be combined with an ARM processor. The McBSP is a serial bus, but has a number of lines. The link was added to the Integrated Circuit Buses page, and alphabetic listing of bus pages ~ 'M' Buses.
A number of page were also updated;
Engineering Acronyms H,
Engineering Acronyms He,
Engineering Acronyms Dm,
Engineering Acronyms Chi,
Engineering Acronyms V,
Engineering Acronyms Vg,
The Frequency Asked Questions pages was up-dated.
