Aspect software helped IBM realize that it was using a clutter of different kilo-ohm resistors when one version would do.
Also visible through the glass panel are the cooling element, the audio relay and countless MELF resistors for the amplifier.

This agreement clears the way for foreign manufacturers of capacitors and resistors to have completely duty-free access to the U.S. market.
And high-tech ceramics are used to make everything from electronic components (capacitors and resistors) to the heat shield on the space shuttle.
Depending on how an engineer arranges and connects the capacitors, resistors and transistors, an infinite number of electrical circuits can be created.
We're talking "metal-oxide film resistors" and "non-polarized electrolysis electric audio capacitors, " here.
By carefully controlling its properties, he could turn a single chip of semiconductor into resistors, capacitors and transistors connected in any way he liked.
In addition, Edifier engineers have freed up valuable internal space within Spinnaker by eliminating a large passive crossover printed circuit board, with coils, capacitors and resistors.

The museum would be fully interactive, visitors will be able to try out a surfing simulator and experience what it's like to paddle out to catch a wave using weight resistors.
From resistors and LED modules to light sensors, each block represents a real component that can be attached to each other via magnetic connectors, hopefully creating a circuit in the process.
Moreover, custom-built apps for therapy and science education are cropping up, with the existing prototype utilizing a trio of force-sensitive resistors that measure pressure and convert it into a signal that instructs the tablet.

By doing some of the heavy logical lifting for you, littleBits hopes that potential electrical engineers and prototypers can focus on the goal rather than the minutia of laying out a breadboard or soldering resistors in place.
We guess that makes sense since it has to fit into a standard SIM slot, but it's rocket science how they managed to fit all that circuitry into a board that tiny -- in fact, we were shown an x-ray view of the card, and the number of chips, resistors, and miscellaneous pieces of technology in there is nothing short of mind-bending.
