Polynomial data table in memory offers speedy access but adds system cost

One alternative to solving a polynomial that represents a thermocouple in an application is to use brute force and a good math package, and create a conversion table in advance.

Sensors at the crossroads

We have arrived at one of those major crossroads in history, a point where, when we look back on this era years from now, we will see how the world changed fundamentally. All of the major elements involved in such a change — economics, politics, technology, the environment — are clearly in a state of [...]
