With the release of BP Win 4.54, all newly manufactured device programmers will ship standard with USB 2.0 communication interface.
The new product line -- 1410/84, 1410/240,1610, 2610, 3610, 4610 -- replaces earlier programmer models that used a parallel port to communicate from the PC to the programmer.
New programmer models also reportedly feature an average increased programming speed of 20%.
USB 2.0 upgrade kits are also available for existing customers using 6th and 7th Generation manual programmers.
New device programmers are supported in Windows 2000 and XP.

The ECA launched a digital library (available at ec-central.org) that contains more than 300 technical papers taken from proceedings of recent CARTS and ECTC conferences.
It enables visitors to search for individual conference papers by event name, title and keyword. Papers can be purchased as PDFs and downloaded for $10 (ECA members) or $20 (non-members). The library is soon expected to double in size and include papers from additional CARTS and ECTC events, the annual relay and switch forum (IRSTC), and the wire and cable symposium (IWCS).

Both materials were tested before and after reflowing various PCBs. In all cases, print remained clear with no visible effects.
The polyimide label materials coated with a permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive and a high opacity, medium gloss white topcoat are designed for thermal transfer printing. Barcode labels made from the material reportedly demonstrate excellent performance in lead-free wave solder environments, which range from 260º to 290ºC.
Designed for barcode or alphanumeric identification of PCBs or related electronic components. Can withstand mixed circuit board processes on top or bottom side of the board. Said to have excellent resistance to harsh fluxes, cleaning agents, saponifiers and wave solder environments.
