ROHM has recently developed wide terminal shunt resistors, LTR10L. They are optimized for a variety of applications in the automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors, while also strengthening its considerable lineup with two updated general-purpose MCR series shunt resistors(MCR10L and MCR18L).
<< Around 1980, plastic case LCD watches dramatically dropped in price, so manufacturers found they had to keep adding functionality to justify a profitable price point. Here’s one example: some readers out there who grew up in the 1980s and early 1990s may remember various licensed Nintendo game watches that allowed the wearer to play miniature games of The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. Amazingly, the first game watches emerged around 1980; here we see one of the first, the Game-10, which played a three-line interpretation of Space Invaders (1978). Conveniently, it also told the time. >>
Droplet-Based Microfluidics: Formation, Detection and Analytical Characterization

Crimson Publishers: Peer Reviewed Material Science Journals
Microfluidics has become attractive in the recent decade due to its ability to offer low-cost, robust and miniaturized assays at a small cost as compared to the bulk tests. The credit mainly goes to the advancement in miniaturization technologies allowing cheaper and faster fabrications of microfluidics devices. Continuous microfluidics has been developed for the study of chemical and biochemical reactions inside microchannels, but the Taylor dispersion, sample contamination on the channel walls and less mixing efficiency has offset the benefits of microfluidics. Droplet-based microfluidics, on the other hand, has emerged as a powerful tool to encapsulate chemical and biological samples in discrete droplets and has generated a diverse array of applications including biochemical reactions, chemical synthesis, drug delivery, and point-of-care diagnostics. This review will outline the droplet generation, mixing, merging and detection methods, and characterization of droplet contents.
