Faster and dramatically more power-efficient than rotating magnetic media, solid-state disks (SSDs) are one of the longest-awaited and most eagerly anticipated technologies in the past two decades of computing. The theoretical underpinnings of mass storage with no moving parts have been with us for decades, but the improvements that have put solid-state in economic and technological reach of ever larger segments of the storage market have been slow in coming. As the tipping point draws nearer with ever-increasing momentum, let's take a look back at the long journey to the practical SSD, and a look forward at the likely future progress of this technology.

Busbar power distribution systems are common throughout the world and are rapidly gaining broader acceptance in the U.S. due to their flexibility, safety and ability to reduce overall design and integration costs.
In addition to these factors, increasing globalization has led many designers of industrial control systems to move toward design techniques, electrical components and integration methods that are readily accepted worldwide—making busbar systems more attractive than ever before.

The companies building plants —engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) organizations—are planning the control system before construction begins.
Just 10 years ago, plants were planned and developed by a simple method. First you built the facility, you loaded it with equipment, and then—at the very end—you added the control system.

In plasma etching , a high-speed plasma stream is used to modify the shape and/or properties of a target material. The process has been used extensively in the semiconductor industry to manufacture microprocessors and related components to meet the exacting tolerances driven by constantly shrinking linewidths. This same approach is also used in the plasma etching industry to produce high-quality components. The economies of scale that result from producing many components on one wafer apply to both industries; however, differences in form factor, such as wafer material and thickness, require different approaches to processing.
