Laurence Marchini, Editor, writes:
I'm always very wary of Internet polls. You know the sort of think: a website will try to poll your opinion of a burning issue of the day - and of course it's so easy to register your view that it seems churlish not to do so.
But if anybody ever needed any proof that such polls are easy prey for any interest group that wants to promote its point of view, they should take a look at the site hosted by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Since Monday morning, visitors to www.smh.com.au have been asked to give their view on the performance of the England rugby team in defeating France in Sunday's Rugby World Cup Semi-Final. The options range from "Scintillating" to "Dull, dull, dull", and it's no secret that the organisers of the poll were hoping for a negative response ahead of next Saturday's Final between England and hosts Australia.
However, all it took was a small e-mail campaign run by a UK-based sports website urging folks in England to log on and vote, and the organisers of the poll were shocked to wake up on Tuesday morning to find that 80% of voters thought England to be "Scintillating". Ah well, we do call it the worldwide web.
Fortunately, here at Electronicstalk we have access to data that are much more meaningful, and between now and the end of the year we will be using them to compile our list of the Electronicstalk Awards for 2003.
It will be interesting to find out which company's pages have been accessed most often, which products have attracted the most enquiries, and which websites you the readers have accessed via Electronicstalk. But we haven't forgotten the "Hall of Shame".
We will also be naming those companies who have produced the most meaningless stories, butchering the English language and misusing units and abbreviations while expecting all of us to understand what they mean. (Currently leading the way is an - as-yet - unnamed US company who couldn't believe I had never heard of KSI as a unit of stress).
I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter useful. In addition to the new products, news and ideas featured here, there are hundreds more on our website and dozens more being added daily, so do take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all the summaries and headlines in this newsletter can be retrieved by email alone: see details below.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions as to how we might make the site or the newsletter better, email me directly.
Oh, and by the way we're all supposed to know that KSI stands for kilo-pounds per square inch.
Best wishes

OUR TOP TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
=======================================================
1. FHSS transceiver shrinks to multichip module
A new miniature all-inclusive 900MHz FHSS transceiver breaks new ground in the short-range wireless market. The one-inch-square module becomes the key component for creating local RF networks where tight space, low power and limited resources are the OEM's biggest concerns. AeroComm reckons the AC4490-1x1 is so comprehensive that engineers of varying RF experience can design-in full wireless capability with minimal effort. All components, including firmware, are integrated into its sleek multichip-module design.

2. Budget MCU aids Ethernet-connectable products
The SH7618 32bit SuperH RISC microprocessor features both an Ethernet controller and a host interface to facilitate connection to another microprocessor. The new low-cost device is designed for use in applications that require a network connection capability, including industrial equipment such as factory automation and surveillance cameras, audio/video products, for example DVD recorders, and white goods such as air conditioners. The SH7618 has a 32bit SH-2 core that offers processing performance of 130MIPS at a maximum operating frequency of 100MHz.

3. Printer looks to next-generation packaging
The Galaxy screen printer is a new platform that meets future speed and accuracy demands for SMT assembly and advanced semiconductor packaging. Galaxy's arrival means semiconductor packaging processes can benefit immediately from Galaxy's advanced motion control and machine vision as commercial chip scale package production hits its stride. And SMT assemblers can confidently plan to implement processes at the boundaries between assembly and packaging, knowing that the technology exists to support them.

4. Chassis simplifies PXI system design
A new software-configurable 18-slot PXI chassis enables engineers to programmatically configure precise timing and synchronisation signals between modular instruments. With configuration and driver software such as NI Measurement and Automation Explorer and NI-DAQ 7, engineers can increase overall system performance and accelerate test times by configuring the trigger routing modules on the backplane of the chassis to reserve trigger lines or route triggers to and from any of the chassis' three bus segments.

5. More features for multimedia protocol stack
A new version of the Dilithium Networks H.324M/3G-324M multimedia protocol stack incorporates key new features to enhance the quality of user experience, add greater flexibility to the developer and reduce development effort. H.324M/3G-324M is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) protocol of choice for offering delay-sensitive multimedia services such as video telephony, video conferencing, video-mail and real-time streaming over 3G networks. Depending on the protocol stack implementation, call set up times range from 6 to 12s. With Dilithium Networks' AnswerFast technology, this is reduced by 40-50%.
