Dr. Trimmer's book is a wealth of articles from the early days of MEMS. I highly recommend it for any serious students and professionals in the field. For the student it provides insights into the original research and development. The first, and perhaps most significant paper that I recommend for students is "Microrobots and Micromechanical Systems" beginning on page 96. An understanding of scaling laws, as presented in this paper, is essential to an understanding of the potential and utility of MEMS. The professional will also find this book to be an excellent desk reference.

This book is a wonderful addition to the currently limited, quality books on MEMS. Sums up the history of the field quite well. Includes many hard to find articles with many interesting comments by one of the early members of the field, Dr. William Trimmer.
By
A good introduction to the early history of MEMS. The only drawback is that Trimmer has felt the need to include as many of his personal papers as possible. This blatant self-aggrandizement brings into question the validity of some of his selections.
By
Everyone interested in MEMS should have a copy of this book. A good introduction to the early, and piviotal papers in the field.

Inventing the Electronic Century: The Epic Story of the Consumer Electronics and Computer Industries, with a new preface (Harvard Studies in Business History)
Buy Low Price From Here Now
Consumer electronics and computers redefined life and work in the twentieth century. In Inventing the Electronic Century, Pulitzer Prize-winning business historian Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. traces their origins and worldwide development. From electronics prime mover RCA in the 1920s to Sony and Matsushita's dramatic rise in the 1970s; from IBM's dominance in computer technology in the 1950s to Microsoft's stunning example of the creation of competitive advantage, this masterful analysis is essential reading for every manager and student of technology.

As a new century starts, Chandler gives a summary of how consumer electronics and computing grew in the last century and indeed shaped many of the trends in the latter half. He starts by pointing out that consumer electronics is older than modern computing. It was the radio industry of the 20s and 30s. Which propelled Motorola and others to prominence.
After World War 2 arose electronic computers. As opposed to earlier electromechnical gizmos. Chandler goes over the crucial inventions - the transistor, integrated circuit and microprocessor. And how decades of Moore's Law have driven these industries into everyday life.
But sections of his book are jarring. These concern the growth of the Japanese electronics and computer companies. They purport to show how these companies grew to dominance in various market sectors, like memory. There is a distinct tone that they outdid their US counterparts, with deeper strategy and Japanese government assistance. While this book is printed in 2005, the tone completely neglects the 16 year stagnation in the Japanese economy. Including their technology companies.
The book gives a few pages to describing Korean and Taiwanese companies, up to around 2000. There is no update to 2004-5. Which would say that the Koreans (Samsung) have grown hugely in memory. Certainly more so than the Japanese. Yes, in the 80s, Japan forced most US companies out of memory. But memory has proven to be a very fickle boom and bust market. Low profit margins over time. Chandler sees the Japanese "takeover" of memory as evidence of good planning and national industrial policy. But if anything, it is evidence of the contrary.
While in consumer electronics, Samsung has also grown far stronger than Sony or Hitachi or ...
In the important area of microprocessors, there is little emphasis that the US has not lost ground to Japan. If anything, it is Japan that has done so, with respect to other countries.
The sections of the text that describe Japan have the feel of books written in the 80s, warning of a coming Japanese industrial supremacy. Never happened.
By Jose Ernesto Passos (São Paulo, SP Brazil)
Alfred Chandler has organized the factual information of the key companies in the Consumer Electronics and Computer Industries during the second half of the XX century. The title of my review is a suggestion of another apropriate subtitle of this book.
The subject is very complex, specially if we look at the technology involved. My major comment is: the author has a limited technical knowledge and this has limited the depth of his analyses, comments and conclusions. This does not invalidate the major conclusions that he has presented in this book.
I think that it would be interesting to expand the story told in this book by studying/describing the evolution of the whole envinronment around these industries, including the engineering schools and research institutes that supply the brains to develop all the technology involved.
The history of the electronics industry carry an important lesson, about concentration of skills and economic power in only one company (RCA). It was a good thing, while RCA was leading, but when it started to make major strategic mistakes it brought down the whole American Industry. The Japanese Industry used several companies to compete against American and European Companies, this created a whole envinronment, that included engineering schools, research facilities, several different companies where one could make a career and different ideas being tested and pursued at the same time. When you look at the capacity of inovation and development of new technologies of the japanese companies and their envinronment they were a lot more competitive. They created a competitive envinronment so agressive in Japan that western rivals were later decimated by them.
The way American companies have managed the development of technologies should be better understood than is explored in this book. There is a pattern to be investigated, for it was in America that several technologies started, but there is a problem in the way this headstart is kept. Examples to be looked into: IBM dominance in computers, Xerox dominance in copiers, RCA in television (well discussed in this book). I think that is missing a description of who were the major brains and decision makers that lead those companies throughout this fast paced period. I would suggest that if we look at who are the persons making the decisions we would find important answers to the success of the Japanese. Example: what is the power and influence of the teams developing a new technology or products, what is the academic and technical background of the top managers in those companies, how do they handled investment decisions regarding product development, what is the philosophy pursued by them ...
The lesson hidden in the history of the electronics industry is very important, when we look at the industrial policy in America in other industries, like Automobiles, where there is only two American Manufacturers, it is easy to see why Japanese companies are doing much better, they are following the same type of competitive organization in this industry... Ford and GM are going in the same direction of RCA... This will raise a very important question, in what industries does America plans to remain competitive in the future??? This will determine the long term stability of the American Democracy.
One may have some points to criticize in this book, but the history told in this book should be better understood and deserves attention.
One aspect related to the industries studied that should be brought to attention is the availability of information about the japanese industry due to the language barrier.

I looked into purchasing a similar scale several years ago, but I couldn't justify the cost then ($300-$500). This scale is a great bargain. It seems very accurate for weight and BMI, but what I really like is the body fat percentage and the memory function. It gives me a method to compare what exercises and foods are really working for me. My wife loves the calculated body age. It says she's 24. It tells me I'm 63. That's just rude.
I'm also using an Omron HEM-719IT blood pressure monitor and an HR-100C pulse monitor. It would be nice to be able to download all the data together into the Omron Health Management software that comes with the HEM-719IT to track progress.
Boring personal background:
I'm 41 and my wife is 38. We were married 6 years ago and she/we had a baby 1.5 years ago. Our long working hours and commutes and being up all night with baby left us with zero energy and no desire to prepare proper food. We would skip breakfast, eat fast junk at lunch and pick up fast food on the way home or order pizza. With our aging metabolism and our sedentary home life with baby, we both packed on the weight. Five months ago we decided enough is enough. She started back to jogging and I started back to the gym and cycling. She's lost 25lbs and is back to her pre-baby weight. I've dropped 30lbs and have another 20 to go. Sound familiar?
By Norman J. Pieniazek (Suwanee, Georgia, USA)
We own this scale for a month. It was purchased to replace the German made Soehnle model Gamma. It was very attractive; however, it was not that accurate, because the weight depended on where the feet were placed on the scale. We also used another Soehnle model Piano, with four sensors instead of one. It suffered from the same problems of poor reproducibility.
Professional fitness evaluation at a Fitness Center focused our interest on body fat, body muscle, and on visceral fat. After asking around and searching the Internet we decided to purchase the Omron HBF-516. Programming the scale was easy as the instructions were clearly written. We were pleasantly surprised that the body fat, body muscle, and visceral fat results on the Omron scale matched the results of the professional evaluation.
After one month of use we are very satisfied with this scale. It's easy to use and gives a self-esteem boost when following the results of our low carb diet.
By Raniyab (Mexico)
I bought this item. Because I couldn't find other maker "Motex"
But I have 100% satisfaction of the measurment.
Nomally, I intent to excercise every day for reduce the size instead of the diet pills. When I know well about my body measurement, I'm inspired much to work hard.
The price is very good and I'm so appreciate to send me until dry cells.
Thank you.l
By J. Arel (New Hampshire)
I love this scale, becuase it's accurate. I found it very easy to program. The Fat percentage, I know it's incorrect, but they do mention it in the instructions manual, that I would be a bit off. But the important thing, is that it gives you a place to start monitoring all those areas. Lets face it, there's no scale that can give you 100% reading in all these areas. I would recommend this product
By T. Barrett (Green Bay, WI)
Go with the 510 if you don't want resting metabolism (or estimated age). Go with the 500 if you want resting metabolism (and NOT estimated age). Go with the 516 if you want resting metabolism AND estimated body age. HOWEVER, IN MY EXPERIENCE I would caution you that I have both 510 and 516 and learned in comparing the two scales that the 516 does NOT give ANY parameters besides weight (like percent body fat) if your ESTIMATED body age is greater than 80 (probably is over 80 if you actually are over 60 and out of shape or actually over 40 and really out of shape). Tried my mom (62) on both and the HBF-516 kept giving error code "ERR 4", parameters out of range or something like that. BUT the HBF-510 didn't error out and gave her percent body fat and other things (except estimated body age and resting metabolism of course). I tried both scales myself immediately after her and the 510 and 516 worked just fine and yielded all expected variables for each model, go figure.

I read lots of articles and white papers on Smart Cards for the last three years specially in banking sector.
I don't conceder my self as an expert in this field, this which enthuse me to start digging more and search for other approaches to increase my knowledge.
I took this book; I read it page by page from the cover to the cover. Unfortunately I couldn't find more information than what I had before.
So my suggestion if you're already familiar with smart cards concept, practices, few information about encryption, I prefer to search for other book.
If you're new on this field and if you don't want to spend lots of time searching for good articles and white paper and your budget can stand for the book price, I recommend you to go for it.
