It seems to me that at least half of the posting here are concerned with
circuit-related questions. Many would be answered by a database that we
have recently mounted on an anonymous ftp site. The database contains
the following features:
-SHAREWARE (requires registration for continued use or distribution)
-menu-driven front end to allow searches on devices and keywords on
titles or circuit abstracts
-dBASE-compatible format for those wishing to search other fields
-references to >16,000 articles/papers containing practical
electronic circuit designs, from >350 different
magazines/journals
-availability of photocopy/fax of most original articles (author
registered with CCC [Copyright Clearance Center])
-covers virtually every field of science and technology
-updates (annually or semi-annually, depending on response)
To download,
ftp to gaitlab1.uwaterloo.ca and log in as "anonymous".
The main database (~3M PKZIPped, ~10M after PKUNZIPping) is contained under
/pub/circuits/main
A smaller demo version (if you want to try it first) is under
/pub/circuits/demo
Be sure to give a bin command before getting these files.
*** Suggestions, comments, questions and any other feedback would be
appreciated. ***
