Here is the famous picture of the 1927 Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons.  It is most likely the greatest collection of scientific minds.

Of the 29 pictured 17 eventually received Nobel prizes.  They are:

Irving Langmuir, Max Planck, Marie Curie, Hendrik Lorentz, Albert Einstein, Pierre Langevin, Charles Eugene Guye, C. T. R. Wilson, Owen W....

I have been gone for a long time.  I have been encouraged to post on my Cypress Blog.  I have decided that I prefer it over here many times.  I am far my posting are edited for appropriate  content. Apparently  "ass" is not approriate for a business Web site.  Also I can talk about sensitive items that Cypress just wish I would leave alone.

So what would...

I got this letter from a reader.  He read my Electroinc Design column and figures I must be wise.  (I have stayed technical all mt career, not very wise if you ask me)  Still it would be nice to help the kid out.  here is a jjjjfd of his e-mail

I have graduated (BS degree in electronics) and I intend to specialize in Analog design. I have two options:-...

I am stuck on the Fibonacci series.  A Wireless USP LP Evaluation Kit for the first to answer this.

If F(0) = 0 , F(1)= 1, etc

Solve for n

 F(n-1)< googol <F(n)

When Fibonacci couldn't sleep,

He counted rabbits instead of sheep.

Daniele Lenzi  was the first to answer correctly and so he wins the prize. e-mail me your address and I will send your prize.  (dwv@cypress.com)

Yes the answer was that the equation generates the fibonacci sequence.  And vishal was also correct that it used the golden ratio  (Phi). You cab have something too.

Phi =(1+sqrt(5))/2

There are four different interest...
