Even more fundamentally, the digital economy's infrastructure has advanced basic material science and classes of machine tools that have led directly to the new high-power electronics (enabling hybrids) and to big, cheap flat-panel, thin-film PVs (derived from the massive thin-film machines that make flat-panel-TVs).
Heico also sells electronics like electrical power supplies, infrared test equipment and high-speed systems to link digital cameras and high-resolution scanners to computers.
