Monitors and meters may seem like merely a question of semantics. And in most of the world it is, monitors are analogous with meters and vice versa. But when you’re dealing with electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention, both have specific purposes and uses that set...
If you’ve ever worked with an X-Acto Knife or a box cutter, you know there are some dangers, just as there are with any knife. Remember, pay attention to what you’re doing! Never use a dull blade! Cut away from your body! And of course, wear cut resistant gloves. Yes,...
So, you’ve just been tasked with building or designing your first Electrostatic Protection Area (EPA). You’ve started doing your research, but there are so many choices, from so many different companies. Suppliers, manufacturers, third party providers… If only there...
In the mid-1820’s, Georg Ohm, a self-taught mathematician and physicist, began doing experiments in the newly discovered field of electromagnetism. Hoping to advance his stalled career, he used the work of Hans Christian Ørsted as a jumping off point, discovering an...
Would it surprise you to know that a good portion of our modern world would be unable to function without the help of electrostatic discharges (ESD’s)? No one seems to know quite how it happened, but in 1984, Scott M. Kunen applied for a patent for a “touch controlled...
