Our 14th year
In 2010, we are happy to enter our 14th year as an electrical engineering and contract electronics design firm in our new location.  Number 13 lived up to its reputation last year. Goodbye and good riddance to year number 13, and 2009 :-).  Feel free to call and invite yourself over to visit our new building and check out our solar powered wireless Zigbee set up.

More Favorite Links
We periodically update our favorite links on our website (see the left panel of this newsletter).  These links include free engineering and business tools.  A few new ones we are adding to our list are:
SMath Studio: a math paper like interface program
Scilab: a scientific software package for numerical computations
Gimp: the GNU Image Manipulation Program
More Practical Chaos
The fractal properties of self similarity and enormous length within a small area are being exploited in the wireless devices we use. Fractal antennas is an interesting topic you may wish to explore. 
Although not a fractal antenna, we are happy that CEPD's rooftop antenna is now up and working well on our building, covering the DTV, UHF and VHF bands.
We are hiring
We have an opening for an assistant engineer.  For more information, please see our employment page.
