Electronic Toolbox’ from Elektor reader Markus Roskosch combines electronic reference material with calculation and conversion tools in one handy app. Whether a professional or hobbyist, the app gives users a collection of the most important electrical information right at their fingertips. The app is available through Apple’s Appstore.
Electronic Toolbox combines 12 different categories, all with a consistent look and feel. Categories include:
Type listings (with color coding) for Resistors and Capacitors Databases for Transistors and ICsCalculating circuit values for Resistor, Capacitor, Coil, and Filter circuitsAn Ohms Law calculator Unit conversion for numerous types of Measurements (pressure, energy, distance, speed etc.) A database for common electrical Symbols An Indices database of common electrical components
With many of the categories, input values can be entered with unit levels included (m, k, etc.), providing automatic conversion to the appropriate value. The app provides visual displays of the circuits and components being used, further simplifying its use. An enormous database is also included with information for over 5000 transistors, ICs, diagrams, and component specifications, all available without an Internet connection.
The transistor database contains a large number of families and device series (BC, BD, BF, 2N, etc.) and a full text search is available to find and compare types. It also incluces data such as NPN/PNP, silicon/germanium, Ptot, Vcbo, Icmax, etc. Diagrams are provided for transistor housings, indicating base, collector, and emitter terminals .
The IC database contains the most common 4000 CMOS and 7400 TTL series types, including connection diagrams and functional descriptions (NAND gate, Schmitt trigger, etc.).
The Indices database offers international names and specifications of batteries, coaxial cables, conductive substances, and various frequencies.
With circuit computations such as series, parallel, bridge connections, filter circuit or resonant circuits the corresponding diagram will be displayed. The program contains an enormous database of over 5000 transistors, ICs, diagrams and specifications. All data can be used off-line. Thus, after the installation of the program, no Internet connection is needed in order to use the program.

" which allows images of iPhones, iPods, iPads, smartphones, notebooks and other portable devices to be projected to a screen diagonal of 100 inches. The projector can also be used to project an image in a confined space, such as in airplanes and trains. Although the whole device is barely larger than an iPhone, its contains a battery that allows two hours of projection time, which should be enough for a an entire movie. The Pico Projector is an improved version of the
