IC Chip Logo Identification

IC Chip Logo Identification

Integrated circuit (IC) chips form the backbone of the electronics industry; and like any other high-power industry, component manufacturers are fluid, constantly changing, dividing, and merging ownerships. For this reason, successful IC startups or spinoffs will...

Ionosphere behavior

Introduction    When we look up at the night sky, we see through all the layers of our atmosphere into outer space. We see across millions of lightyears to the shining, beckoning pinpoints of light that make us stare up with wonder and curiosity. But what may not be...
Electromagnetic coupling

Electromagnetic coupling

Introduction    A parallel application of electromagnetic (EM) modeling of aircraft is electromagnetic shielding and coupling. My recent post on calculating radar cross-section (RCS) looked at simplifying an airplane CAD model to a more simple canonical geometry, and...
