The show will be held Oct. 12-14, in Amsterdam.
Elcoteq's model -- called Virtual Cluster -- is based on a partnership where the OEM focuses design and technology, and Elcoteq handles issues of manufacturability, the manufacturing equipment budget, production capacity, bill of materials, supply chain, and creating and maintaining a time-line and focus for production and delivery to the OEM's customer.
By jointly setting up a process of defined milestones to discuss upcoming products and manufacturing challenges, both companies are prepared for time and manufacturing adjustments, and the engineering department can focus on design instead of logistics, reducing time-to-market, Elcoteq says.
For more on the Virtual Cluster model, see next month's Circuits Assembly.

Cleveland - Oct. 6, 2004 -- Keithley Instruments Inc. has updated its popular reference book, "Low Level Measurements Handbook: Precision DC Current, Voltage, and Resistance Measurements." The sixth edition of the book describes theoretical and practical considerations involved in the measurement of low DC currents, high resistances, low DC voltages and low resistances.
Chapter topics discuss proper use and configuration of nanovoltmeters, picoammeters, electrometers, high resistance sources and low resistance sources. A number of chapters have been updated to reflect new measurement techniques for making accurate electrical measurements on today's small devices, many of which are down to nano-scale geometries.
The Instrument Selection Guide, glossary and a troubleshooting guide are updated, and a new section deals with safety considerations when making precision electrical measurements.
