Surface mount technology has changed how printed circuit boards are designed. But what do you know about it?
The 1970s and 80s saw a sharp rise in the need for PCBs (printed circuit boards.) To meet that demand, designers had to find a way to manufacture boards more efficiently.
But the traditional way of mounting components–using pre-formed lead wires connected to the board through plated through holes–didn’t allow for fast assembly. Components had to line up at the correct angle before they could mount to the surface, slowing down assembly.

Machine learning applications are everywhere now. Chances are, you’ve interacted with a machine learning application today. Image and voice recognition, medical diagnosis, and data extraction all use machine learning. Your computer uses it. So does your doctor’s office. As the world becomes more complex, machine learning applications are showing up in more sectors.
Why is this?
Machine learning simplifies the complex. That’s what makes it so useful. It can quickly identify patterns in data and make decisions on that data, often without human intervention. It achieves this faster and better than any human could.
