Battery Status Indicator

…is there an integrated circuit available that would encapsulate this
project?:

I found a new trading platform may benefit components buyers and sellers.

Recently I found a components trading website www.koobid.com, they ask
you to post stock with PRICE, and all your search result are really
with PRICE. How Possible ? But maybe a good idea, at least I can get a
part price for reference when search a part, do not need to pick up
the phone. And I do think some traders could not give their "so-Said"
thousands of STOCK a price.

Identify decoupling capacitors?

I’m trying to identify some decoupling capacitors, probably ceramic.
They’re orangish red, about 8 x 6 x 1mm  axial leaded.
They are labelled on the top, that is the 8 x 1mm curved face
away from the leads:-

104
YME

To the left of this is what I take to be the trade mark which
is a narrow slanted V which is as large as the two lines of
lettering above.
The left arm of the V is about 5 degrees clockwise from vertical
while the right arm is about 10 degrees so the whole V points
down to the left.

I assume 104 means 100nF as it usually does.  What does YME
mean?

I’m asking because these caps were provided for a fairly exacting
operation, namely decoupling photomultiplier dynodes in cryogenic
conditions.   They’ll be run at about 200V and , er, -190C.
They look awfully small for 100nF/300V and I have my suspicions
about their temperature coefficients.

Accelerometer in Southampton or India

Hi Guys

I am currently working out of UK for 3 months and am in desperate need
of a Accelerometer  for a team that working out of India. They have
asked me for help in procuring the same.

Its a amateur project and almost any kind of cheap Accelerometer
would do. Can you guys give tips on getting it here (Southampton,UK)
or back in India

Thanks in advance

Reusable Electrical Connector between Electronics Package and Flexible Sensor Substrate

Dear all,

I was wondering if any of you knows about commercial connectivity
solutions that enables to make an electric connection between an
electronics package and a flexprint. The requirements are:
– mechanical robust and stable
– solderless and glueless
– electronics should be reusable, i.e. the connector can be opened and
closed many times
– 2 electrical contact are needed
– not bulky

I was personally thinking about some conductive velcro or a clamp that
punches some pins through the flexible substrate film.

Any kind of suggestions, links, etc. are welcome!

Thx,
David

ns pulse generator IC for low voltages

I am trying to make a pulse generator that will generate pulses as
short as 1 ns, with voltages around 1V.  It would be triggered by an
external signal.  I am wondering whether anyone makes a single chip
solution for this type of thing, or if someone knows a communications
IC that could be easily modified to do this?  And it would be great if
it came with an evaluation board, though I realize I am reaching on
that point.  (Still, unless you enjoy torture, soldering surface mount
components is something I like to avoid.)

As I’ve searched on the net, most DIY pulse generator circuits involve
avalanche circuits which seem to require relatively high voltages and
are a little unstable.  Linear has a circuit that uses comparators
with an AND gate to produce a pulse, and that seems to be pretty
workable. I’ve also thought it wouldn’t be that hard to combine an
inverter with an AND gate and a delay line IC to produce an output
pulse, provided the transitions didn’t excessively widen the pulse.

What's a 125C0088?

I find many listings of commercial part suppliers for a 125C0088
(8-pin DIP), but not a data sheet in sight. It’s part of an obsolete
light control actuated by a garage door opener remote. Other IC’s in
the unit are a 125C86 (16-DIP) and a 125C0042 (8-DIP). All have the
National Semiconductor logo and are involved with decoding the input
from the RF remote. The unit was built circa 1992.

Any ideas what this critter is?
