The Serial bus of PCI Express

August 17, 2011

The bonded serial format was chosen over a traditional parallel format due to the phenomenon of timing skew. Timing skew is a direct result of the limitations imposed by the speed of an electrical signal travelling down a wire, which it does at the finite speed of electricity.

The Lane of PCI Express

Mini PCIe SSD And mSATA SSD

August 17, 2011

Some notebooks (notably the Asus Eee PC, the MacBook Air, and the Dell mini9 and mini10) use a variant of the PCI Express Mini Card as an SSD. This variant uses the reserved and several non-reserved pins to implement SATA and IDE interface passthrough, keeping only USB, ground lines, and sometimes the core PCIe 1x bus intact.

PCI Express External Cabling Specifications

August 17, 2011

PCI Express External Cabling (also known as External PCI Express, Cabled PCI Express, or ePCIe) specifications were released by the PCI-SIG in February 2007.

Fiber optic sensing Introduction

August 16, 2011

Unlike typical transmission which uses electricity, fiber optic sensing systems use infrared light. Large amounts of data can easily be transferred through fiber optics through pulsing lights. Fiber optic sensors are very versatile and can be used to measure or sense many different things including pressure, temperature, vibrations, and displacement to name a few. In addition to their versatility, optical sensors are also able to transmit data over long distances.
