CES 2019 Showstoppers, the Show
Floor, and Some Neat Stuff
E
CES 2019 is over, and
those of us who spent
four to five days try-
ing to see and hear
as much as possible
are in recovery mode.
There were over
182,000 attendees, and 6,600 of us were media
all trying to get to as much of the 2.9-million-
square-feet exhibit space as possible.

AltiumLive Munich Draws Designers
from Around Europe
E
Andy Shaughnessy spoke with designers from
Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Bel-
gium, just to name a few countries. Many of
them were involved in the automotive segment
but some were in medical and industrial con-
trols as well. It's great to be at an event that is
full of PCB designers, because designers are few
and far between at most PCB industry events.

Happy Anniversary, Gerber Format:
Looking Ahead to Digital Innovation
E
We can thank H. Joseph
Gerber, the man who took
manual PCB design to the
next level with the auto-
mated photoplotter, for
giving us this format in
1964. Gerber started Ger-
ber Scientific Instrument
Company in 1948 to commercialize his first
patented invention—the variable scale.
