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.

AMSTERDAM, Oct 7 -- Philips Electronics will sell one of its six television assembly plants in Poland to Jabil Circuit, Reuters reported today.
The deal is expected to close next month.
Philips is Europe's largest maker of consumer electronics.
The facility also houses quality operations, sales and technical support.
President Greg Evans said in a press statement, "This facility addresses the tremendous demand for our solder paste by the Chinese market. It is also the next step in our strategy for providing world-class service and support throughout the world."
Indium also has manufacturing sites in Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S.
Other keynoters during the Feb. 22-24 event are:
- Walt Custer, president, Custer Consulting Group, on the industry economy .
- Jim McElroy, CEO, the National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative, on the 2004 NEMI roadmap of future manufacturing needs.
- Pilot Burt Rutan, founder, Scaled Composites and SpaceShipOne, on winning the $10 million Anasari X Prize for reaching space twice in a two-week span using a privately manned rocketship.
Yet despite the increasing popularity of low-loss photoimageable waveguide materials, opportunities will continue to emerge for low-cost, mechanically and optically stable alternative approaches, says BPA Consulting Ltd. The firm also found that over 85% of backplanes are proprietary in design.
Sales of backplanes will grow from $1.99 billion this year to $2.11 billion in 2005 and $2.48 billion in 2009, or 9.8%, BPA forecasts.
The report identifies demand for low-loss/low-dielectric constant laminates, high-speed power connectors, advanced backplane fabrication and assembly, and high-speed (10 Gbps and above) channel design services. The report also analyzes the impact of new design standards such as the Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture (ATCA).
