Artificial Intelligence. Or, the intelligence of computers. It’s all around us, but I think it’s important to remember that this intelligence is driven by human intelligence. It’s the human innovation behind AI that’s inspiring creation, adaptation and the use of computers to make our lives easier. By letting computers focus on artificially intelligent tasks, we can spend more time focusing on human connections, family, seeing new sites and sharing those adventures with “our village”. AI can … [Read more...]

From Design to Production
There comes a time when every design must enter production. However, the path that any item takes from initial concept to final production is a complicated one, and it is very rare that any device makes it through this process unchanged. It would be great if there were no limits imposed by schedules or budgets. To paraphrase US soldier Hal Moore, “Unlike in baseball, three strikes and you are not out. There is always something else you can try…” Moore was talking about leadership, but the … [Read more...]
Good News and Good News About Board Stacking Connector Solutions
“The good news is, Samtec has more ways to stack two or more PC boards than anybody else in the connector industry,” I told a Designer when asked about our two-piece, pin-and-socket board stacking connector sets.
