Credit Card Processing

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 11:04 AM PST

There is a ton of extra literature the high school senior receives in the mail during their twelfth grade year. There are special scholarship offers, student financing, and special college programs, not to mention the number of invitations from Uncle Sam to come join the Navy, Marines, and Army. Having just been through this, I can add to that, at least fifty offers for a student credit card.
Now, no offense to these hard working people and their advertising campaigns, not to mention the U.S. Postal Service who delivered these documents; but, the majority of these offers ended up in the round file, aka as the trash, unopened. There is just too much, too fast, and you're busy with other things, like just getting through those last few months of school.
As a parent of a recent college graduate and another one coming up, I realize it is important that the college student have a credit card. Now that all of the excitement of final exams and graduation is over, it's time to start looking forward to the next step. With the new college year just around the corner, it's time to look at and compare those college student credit cards offers.
That is what is so great about the internet. You can enter college student credit card into any search engine and come up with a number of sites that give you a choice right here online. You don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home. You can shop right here and even sign up and order your card any time day or night. No need to take a trip to the post office to mail your application, you just press enter.

Series and parallel circuits

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 09:30 AM PST

Why is that in a circuit made of series connection of capacitors the total capacitance of capacitors in series is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of their individual capacitances?

why cant it be sum of their individual capacitance as in case of resistors and inductors?

Plz explain this contrary in terms of Parallel circuits too....

Magma’s FineSim Deployed by Toshiba Corporation for Advanced Flash Memory Sign-off Si

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 07:21 AM PST

SAN JOSE, Calif. and YOKOHAMA, Japan, Nov. 30, 2010 — Magma® Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, announced today that Toshiba Corporation, a leading provider of flash memory products, has deployed the FineSim™ platform for sign-off simulation. Toshiba uses FineSim Pro with the native multi-CPU technology for its NAND flash memory development.

"Toshiba's flash products, featuring leading-edge technology and functionality, are highly differentiated and used in wide variety of applications," said Masaki Momodomi, Memory Technology Executive of Toshiba Corporation's Semiconductor Company. "This makes it imperative that we are first to market with highly reliable products. Magma's unified circuit simulation platform increases our overall design productivity by allowing us to make intelligent tradeoffs between performance and accuracy within a single tool."

"Toshiba's decision to use FineSim as its primary circuit simulation solution demonstrates the value of Magma's unified multi-CPU simulation platform," said AnirudhDevgan, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. "With the performance improvement provided by FineSim leading semiconductor providers such as Toshiba can reduce design and manufacturing costs while meeting critical time-to-market goals."

FineSim SPICE: Simulating Advanced Circuits
FineSim SPICE is a SPICE-level simulation analysis tool that incorporates transistor-level simulation analysis capabilities for mixed-digital and analog designs. In addition, FineSim SPICE supports distributed processing over multiple CPUs or machines, enabling simulation of large-scale mixed-signal designs. By providing increased speed and capacity while maintaining full-SPICE accuracy, FineSim SPICE enables designers to simulate advanced circuits – such as PLLs, ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), DACs (digital-to-analog converters) and gigahertz SERDES (SERializers/DESerializers) – that they previously would not even attempt using slower traditional SPICE simulators.

FineSim Pro: First to Offer Multi-CPU Support
FineSim Pro is the industry's first fast SPICE circuit simulator that supports multi-CPU simulations. It is the only simulator that performs true multi-CPU SPICE analysis. This allows for the most accurate results with the best possible throughput. FineSim Pro verifies a range of designs from large memories to large complex analog ICs, which previously could not be practically verified in transient circuit simulators. FineSim Pro also has a separate option for IR drop and electromigration analysis.

ge.tt Simple File Sharing Service Review

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 05:20 AM PST

File sharing can be painful. There are tons of services out there but they are cluttered with unwanted stuff. There's a new service, called 'ge.tt' (ge.tt ) that's aiming to be different, better and simpler.

All you have to do is go to ge.tt and upload the file of any size that you wish to share. Once uploaded, you'll be presented with a short URL of your file, which you can share with anyone.

The receiver of the URL will simply have to visit the URL and download the file. The shared file remains on the GE.TT servers for 30 days.

I love the simplicity of the service!

Ask Questions To Er. Mark Chapman - Chief Engineer Project Bloodhound SSC

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:21 AM PST

CEans,

Here's one more, ONCE IN LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY brought to you by CrazyEngineers!

Ask questions to the Mr. Mark Chapman - The Chief Engineer of Project Bloodhound SSC (super sonic car) that's building World's F-A-S-T-E-------S-T CAR with top speed of 1000 miles/hour [1600 kilometers per hour].

Post questions in following thread: Ask Questions To Mark Chapman

About the project: -


Mr. Mark Chapman
The primary objective of the Project is to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in science, engineering, technology and maths - by demonstrating how they can be harnessed to achieve the seemingly impossible, such as the BLOODHOUND 1,000 mph land speed record . Because the FIA World Land Speed Record rules are minimal, the challenger cars tend to be very different and therefore because the technology is unlikely to be of value to a competitor, there is no need to be secretive about the technology. So it can (and will) all be made available on the web – just as it happens. This is unique: the Defence, Motor Race and Space industries are unable to share their technology in this way.

Cloud Computing

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 03:35 AM PST

Hi CEans,

The term cloud computing has become one of the hottest talked about topic.
Technology is growing fast.It all began with the concept of distributed computing.
We had cluster computing, then we had grid computing and now we have moved on to cloud. Ultimate objective was to increase the computing power thereby perform voluminous tasks within a shorter interval of time.

In simpler terms, cloud is all about getting anything anywhere (internet service)..Clouds promote the concept of leasing remote resources rather than buying own hardware.Hardware, software and even the entire infrastructure could be provided as a service on a cloud.

Clouds eliminate the physical overhead cost of adding new hardware such as compute nodes to clusters or supercomputers and the financial burden of permanent over-provisioning of occasionally needed resources.

The main reason for we being moved from grid to cloud is that resources are unreliable in a grid.We have to perform the task of maintaining those resources, adjust with the dynamism exihibited by them.

Virtualization is another closely related concept to this cloud computing. We have various corporates like amazon and google providing us with cloud services.

I just request all ceans to share their views on this topic. Even posting a basic definition regarding this would help all of us in learning this new upcoming technology.

CE Meet @ Nagpur - Calling CEans From Central India

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 10:53 PM PST

I was looking at the stats and found out that we've quite a large number of CEans visiting CE central India. The number is in thousands. So why not host a meet in Central India, Nagpur?

I'm wondering how many CEans would be interested in attending a CE meet @ Nagpur. Please post your responses below.

The meet location and schedule will be decided later.
