As the development of superconducting electronics has grown in recent years, superconducting electronics, SQUIDS and related instruments are being used in many industries, including metrology, space surveillance, microwave and high frequency electronics and signal processing. This text discusses superconductivity, the Josephson effects and SQUIDs, properties of superconductors at high temperatures, superconducting materials, non-destructive evaluation, high frequency applications and fundamental physics, including quantum computing. The text balances theory discussions with practical discussions on how to harness this new science, making this a complete guide to the subject.
Fab
From the pioneering Director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, a visionary look at the Next Big Thing in computing and technology.
What if we could someday put the manufacturing power of a Ford factory in our own garage? According to MIT's acclaimed technoprognosticator Neil Gershenfeld, the next big thing is personal fabrication-the ability, literally, to make your own products, in your own home, with a miniaturized machine that combines consumer electronics with industrial tools. This sounds like science fiction, but in fact it is exactly where the digital revolution was at the dawn of the age of personal computers. It used to take a mainframe computer the size of the MIT campus to tackle problems that a desktop computer can now easily solve. Personal fabricators (PFs) are tomorrow's personal computers. PFs will bring the programmability of the digital world to the rest of the world, by being able to make anything (including themselves).

Interfirm Networks in the Japanese Electronics Industry
Japanese Interfirm Networks analyzes changes in production networks in the Japanese electronics industry. Japan's post-war success in the assembly industries (primarily automobiles and electronics) is frequently attributed to innovative approaches to the organization of production: rather than relying on full scale vertical integration or arm's-length market transcactions, Japanese assemblers have tended to forge intricate networks of long-term interfirm business relationships that have afforded them with a host of advantages over their competitors. Paprzycki argues that as a result of global industry dynamics, such monolithic'pyramidal' production networks have come under mounting pressure to and are giving way to an increasing diversity of network arrangements.
