Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Manufacturers have a great deal of flexibility when deciding where and how to program their devices. Components can be programmed at many stages during the procurement and manufacturing process. This ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

In May, the Federal Circuit issued its decision in 'LKQ v. GM Global Technology Operations', which marks a significant shift away from the prior and more rigid 'Rosen-Durling test', toward a more ...

Before LKQ, the longstanding Rosen-Durling test required that the primary reference in a design patent obviousness analysis be “basically the same” as the challenged design patent claim, and any ...
