"Zzzapp!"
With regard to Printed circuit board, I reached the same conclusion that you did with regard to what the editor was trying to say about static sensitivity, yet I couldn't quite get to the point of reverting them because, at some level, even bare boards are static sensitive. Traces have gotten so fine that it's quite possible to blow an etch off the board (or change its characteristics) with a static charge. This is especially true on non-traditional PCBs such as MCMs and microwave PCBs.

I'm not going to revert you reversion, but we might want to express this idea more clearly in the article.

 * I agree. I might have been little bit overzealous. I will restore the paragraph and mention static-sensitive PCBs.Michagal 14:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I saw your new change -- thanks!

OpenU Logo
Hey, you might be correct, seems like more up-to-date logo in my taste. But that's the best I could find from OpenU and I thought it might be nicer. MyWiseData 12:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I produced a larger logo and updated the Open University of Israel.Michagal 13:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Logic_block.svg
Okay, thanks, the reason it's so small is that it's a vector image and can be re-sized to any size without pixelating. I will change the image to say "inputs" but what do you mean by centred? I've made a change here and added to the article here:article hope it's okay, I know the "output" is rather small but at 600px it's okay. Please let me know if you would like further changes.Wolfmankurd 11:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Logo-tel-aviv.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Logo-tel-aviv.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Current mode logic
I noticed you removed a statement from the ECL article that said ECL was sometimes known as Current mode logic. I was suspicious of that statement too. How do you know current mode logic isn't another name for ECL? also, do you think the Current mode logic article, poor as it is, even refers to the correct type of logic? (I am watching this page and you can reply here, if you want.) --Gerry Ashton 15:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello. ECL has originally been defined as a negative voltage transmission standard (-5V supply if I am not mistaken). Now most use LVPECL, but even if LVPECL is implied, the voltage levels are quite different. Just compare LVPECL and CML characteristics of any manufacturer (TI |SN65LVP16 and TI |SN65CML100 for example). They might be compatible under certain circumstances, but definitely not equal.
 * As for the poor quality of the new article, it is work in progress. I intend to improve it in the future. It was my aspiration to remove misleading definition as soon as possible. Michagal 16:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The two TI links you provided didn't work, but I found other information on the TI site. I wonder if the term current mode logic might have been a phrase for ECL in the distant past, and been reused for this chip-to-chip interface technology. So far I have not found the phrase in any old literature. --Gerry Ashton 16:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In the firm I am working in these have always been considered as two distinct (though compatible) interfaces. I will look through literature as well. Michagal 07:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * At present, the main remaining use of ECL may be as an interface, I really don't know. But in the past it was much more. High end computers of the 1960s through 1990s used ECL for all their logic, at least in the fast parts of the computer (less critical areas of the computer like I/O controllers might have used something slower). By the 1990s chips could contain hundreds of ECL circuits, only a fraction of which communicated off-chip.


 * Also, the power supplies used by vendors of small-scale-integration (SSI) ECL circuits like Motorola or TI are not the only power supplies that were used. Computer manufacturers that made their own semiconductors would choose whatever supplies suited their technology, and these usually differed from what the SSI vendors were using. --Gerry Ashton 19:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Infobox proposal
I have been trying to nudge the infobox proposal system (List of infoboxes/Proposed) to using subpages which allows for easier development of an infobox, use of discussion page in the process and finally easily preserve all of this with an easier system of activating a completed proposal.

I note that there has been no recent discussion at List_of_infoboxes/Proposed and that there already is a Template:Infobox Electronic Component (which in its description links back to the WikiProject_Infoboxes) - the parameters are different in these two. What, if any further work, or merging of ideas is needed, or should the entry in List of infoboxes/Proposed now be removed ? David Ruben Talk 00:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your interest. I started working on the Template:Infobox Electronic Component with the intention to make a standard infobox for basic electronic components: resistor, capacitor, transistor etc. The List_of_infoboxes/Proposed infobox seems to me a little bit problematic since it addresses more complex components such as integrated circuits, description of which will inevitably carry proprietary and copyrighted information. It will also serve little useful purpose since Wikipedia will not have an article to every integrated circuit available on the market. It seems reasonable to have an article for basic and generic components.
 * Therefore it is my opinion that Template:Infobox Electronic Component should be enhanced and improved, and List_of_infoboxes/Proposed should be removed. Respectfully Michagal 07:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC).

We want you!
Hello Michagal! We are in the process of starting a WikiProject devoted entirely to Scuba Diving. Our goal is to expand Wikipedia's coverage on SCUBA Diving. I encourage you to check out our project at WP:SCUBA and sign you name to the list of interested Wikipedians! Gr0ff 14:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Michagal.jpg
You uploaded or restored, File:Michagal.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an information block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work, please include own in the relevant source field, amend the information added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add  and an  to the media by uploader or presumed_self tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, then please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or own, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).
