1. the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of
electrons. Electronics is primarily concerned with
phenomena other than simple conduction, such as emission
of electrons, storage of electrical charge, the effects of
electrical fields on the conduction of electrons through a
circuit, and amplification and manipulation of electric
signals such as voltage or current by design of circuits.
Electronics also encompasses the application of such
fundamental principles to the construction of devices
using the manipulation of electrons in their operation,
known as electronic devices.

2. the branch of engineering concerned with design of devices
using the principles of electronics, for practical
purposes.
[PJC]
3. electronic devices generally, or the electronic circuits
within an electronic device. The Russian harvesters are
sturdily constructed, but their electronics are primitive.

digital electronics
(foldoc) | digital electronics
The implementation of two-valued logic using
electronic logic gates such as and gates, or gates and
flip-flops. In such circuits the logical values true and
false are represented by two different voltages, e.g. 0V for
false and +5V for true. Similarly, numbers are normally
represented in binary using two different voltages to
represented zero and one.
Digital electronics contrasts with analogue electronics
which represents continuously varying quantities like sound
pressure using continuously varying voltages.
Digital electronics is the foundation of modern computers and
digital communications. Massively complex digital logic
circuits with millions of gates can now be built onto a single
integrated circuit such as a microprocessor and these
circuits can perform millions of operations per second.

Fast ATA
Fast ATA-2
(ATA-2, Enhanced Integrated Drive
Electronics, EIDE) A proposed (May 1996 or earlier?)
standard from X3T10 (document 948D rev 3) which extends
the Advanced Technology Attachment interface while
maintaining compatibility with current IBM PC BIOS
designs.
ATA-2 provides for faster data rates, 32-bit transactions and
(in some drives) DMA. Optional support for power saving
modes and removable devices is also in the standard.
ATA-2 was developed by Western Digital as "Enhanced
Integrated Drive Electronics" (EIDE) around 1994.
Marketroids call it "Fast ATA" or "Fast ATA-2".
ATA-2 was followed by ATA-3 and ATA-4 ("Ultra DMA").

today's Institute has more than 320,000 members who
participate in its activities in 147 countries. The IEEE
sponsors technical conferences, symposia and local meetings
worldwide, publishes nearly 25% of the world's technical
papers in electrical, electronics and computer engineering and
computer science, provides educational programs for its
members and promotes standardisation. Areas covered include
aerospace, computers and communications, biomedical
technology, electric power and consumer electronics.

ATA
AT Attachment
Integrated Drive Electronics
(ATA, AT Attachment or
"Integrated Drive Electronics", IDE) A disk drive interface
standard based on the IBM PC ISA 16-bit bus but also
used on other personal computers. ATA specifies the power
and data signal interfaces between the motherboard and the
integrated disk controller and drive. The ATA "bus" only
supports two devices - master and slave.
ATA drives may in fact use any physical interface the
manufacturer desires, so long as an embedded translator is
included with the proper ATA interface. ATA "controllers" are
actually direct connections to the ISA bus.
Originally called IDE, the ATA interface was invented by
Compaq around 1986, and was developed with the help of
Western Digital, Imprimis, and then-upstart {Conner
Peripherals}. Efforts to standardise the interface started in
1988; the first draft appeared in March 1989, and a finished
version was sent to ANSI group X3T10 (who named it "Advanced
Technology Attachment" (ATA)) for ratification in November
1990.
X3T10 later extended ATA to {Advanced Technology Attachment
Interface with Extensions} (ATA-2), followed by ATA-3 and
ATA-4.

intrusion countermeasure electronics
(foldoc) | Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics
(ICE) A contrived acronym for security
software, coined by Usenetter Tom Maddox and popularised by
William Gibson's cyberpunk SF novels. In Gibson's novels
ICE software responds to intrusion by attempting to literally
kill the intruder.
The term is not in serious use as of 2000 apart from the
commercial software product, BlackICE and a growing number
of others.

microelectronics and computer technology corporation
(foldoc) | Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation
(MCC) One of the first, and now one of the largest, US
computer industry research and development consortia.
Founded in late 1982 by major computer and semiconductor
manufacturers, MCC's membership has diversified to include a
broad range of high-profile corporations from electronics,
computers, aerospace, semiconductors, and related industries,
reflecting the full range of companies vital to the life cycle
of Information Technology products. Active involvement of
small- and medium-sized firms and technology users, along with
well-established alliances with government research and
development agencies and leading universities, allows MCC's
partners to maximise the benefit of scarce research and
development resources.
Some of the technical areas in which MCC has distinguished
itself are:
System Architecture and Design (optimise hardware and software
design, provide for scalability and interoperability, allow
rapid prototyping for improved time-to-market, and support the
re-engineering of existing systems for open systems).
Advanced Microelectronics Packaging and Interconnection
(smaller, faster, more powerful, and cost-competitive).
Hardware Systems Engineering (tools and methodologies for
cost-efficient, up-front design of advanced electronic
systems, including modelling and design-for-test techniques to
improve cost, yield, quality, and time-to-market).
Environmentally Conscious Technologies (process control and
optimisation tools, information management and analysis
capabilities, and non-hazardous material alternatives
supporting cost-efficient production, waste minimisation, and
reduced environmental impact).
Distributed Information Technology (managing and maintaining
physically distributed corporate information resources on
different platforms, building blocks for the {national
information infrastructure}, networking tools and services for
integration within and between companies, and electronic
commerce).
Intelligent Systems (systems that "intelligently" support
business processes and enhance performance, including
decision support, data management, forecasting and
prediction).

packard bell electronics, inc.
(foldoc) | Packard Bell Electronics, Inc.
A leading US computer vendor.
As recently as 29 November 1995 the Wall Street Journal
reported that the company was having financial difficulties
and that one of its major suppliers of CPUs, Intel, was
about to make a large cash loan, so as to prevent loss of a
major customer. Packard Bell is a privately held company and
the WSJ also reported that NEC has been rumored to have
bought a large minority block of shares to help the company
stay in business.
Its computers are sold in major retail outlets in the USA and
are available as a bundled package: desktop or tower 486
CPU, single 3.5 inch floppy disk drive, CD-ROM, {sound
card}, 14 inch colour monitor, and 4-8MB of RAM.
1995 end-of-year prices in Computer Currents magazine (a
California Bay Area bi-monthly giveaway publication) are
US$1500 (approx. 1000 pounds) for a 486 desktop, with 8MB
RAM, 420MB hard disk drive, single 3.5 inch floppy drive, 14
inch colour monitor, 2-speed CD-ROM, and 16-bit sound card.
