It was a very interesting and helpful discussion going on the embedded net for the whole week. As Dennis mentioned there will be several committee meetings on Embedded Components at IPC Expo in San Diego. Also, D-54 "Embedded Device Test Methods" will meet on Wednesday, February 29. We will be reviewing the latest version of the TM 2.5.34 "Power Density Rating for Embedded Resistors". Comments and / or attending in person will be greatly appreciated. Please find the attached TM 2.5.34 draft and the test example. Best Regards, Jan Jan Obrzut, D-54 co-Chair NIST, Material Measurement Laboratory Gaithersburg, MD 20899 Phone: 301-975-6845. ________________________________________ From: EmbeddedNet [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dennis Fritz [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 03, 2012 4:35 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [EM] Fw: MILAERO007: What Became of the Embedded Passive Boom? I know it's been a while since anyone posted to this forum. Here is an article from Per Viklund that may stir discussion. Also, we are coming up to IPC Expo the end of February, and there will be several committee meetings on Embedded Components. Maybe the leaders of those committees want to promote their sessions on this forum.

What Became of the Embedded Passive Boom? While the anticipated embedded passive boom never happened, several industry segments have adopted the technology--even depending on it to be successful. While new and exotic to many, EP technology is mainstream to others, especially in the medical, automotive, and military/aerospace industries.
