E3


E3  referred to the Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is a premier trade event for the video game industry for many developers, publishers, and hardware and accessory manufacturers to introduce and advertise upcoming games and game-related merchandise to retailers and members of the press. It is organized by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
E3 is considered to be the biggest gaming news expo of the year in North America. This event formally provides an exhibition floor for developers, publishers, and manufacturers to showcase titles and products to be sold in the upcoming year. The first event was held from May 11–13, 1995 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Before the event, the largest publishers and hardware manufacturers hold an long-hour press conference to outline their offerings that will be on display,  which feature announcements of new games and products.

How It came to an existence?

Before E3, game publishers went to other trade shows i.e. the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the European Computer Trade Show, to display new or upcoming products. The CES organizers used to put the video games industry a way in the back. As the game industry grew rapidly during the early 1990s, the industry professionals felt that it had outgrown the older trade shows and several companies exited from CES shows.

 In 1994, the IDSA was formed to unify the video game and stablish a commission, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to create a voluntary standard rating system that was approved by Congress.

The industry recognized that it needed some type of trade show for retailers as, the retailers have pointed to the need for an interpretive event that will help them make smarter buying decisions by interacting with a wide range of publishers, vendors, industry influentials and opinion leaders in a focused show setting. So, several companies agreed to present the E3 event as the premier trade show for the video game industry.

Atanasoff - Berry Computer ( ABC )

The Atanasoff – Berry Computer (ABC)   was the first electronic computer, designed and built by Lowa State College Mathematics and Physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff and his assistant, Clifford E. Berry ( a graduate student) . They worked in the basement of the physics building at Lowa State College on the computer from 1939 until 1942 when it was abandoned due to World War II . Unfortunately, after being abandoned , it was neglected and eventually disassembled for parts. In 1994, a team from Lowa state University began to rebuild the computer, finishing it in 1997. The system weighed more than seven hundred pounds (320 kg). It contained approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) of wire, 280 dual-triode vacuum tubes, 31  thyratrons , and was about the size of a desk.  The idea behind the ABC were later used in the construction of the ENIAC, the world’s first general purpose computer. Purpose / Working ABC was designed only to solve systems of  l...

Integrated Injection Logic (I2L)

Integrated Injection Logic (I2L) was disclosed in 1972 at International Solid State Circuits Conference by C. M. Hart and A. Slob of Philips, The Netherlands, and by H. H. Berger and S. K. Wiedmann of IBM, West Germany simultaneously. The basic logic unit is a multiple output inverter which is physically realized as a conventional npn multi-emitter transistor operated in the inverse mode. Base drive to the npn inverters is supplied by multicollector lateral pnp current source transistors. The emitter of the pnp transistor is referred to as the injector, and a single injector distributes base drive to many npn logic units. The outputs of I2L units may be " wire AND " with outputs from other units for NAND implementation of logic functions. I2L is a bipolar LSI circuit technique which achieves high packing density and good power-delay efficiency using conventional bipolar processing. It uses the properties of ion implantation to achieve improved performance ca...

Digital to Analog Converter ( DAC )

Digital to Analog Converter    (DAC) DAC stand for Digital to Analog Converter . It  is a system that converts a  digital signal  into an  analog signal . Example, When you hear digital recordings, you’re actually listening to an analog signal that was converted from digital by a DAC.                 DACs are commonly used in  music players  to convert digital data streams into analog audio signals. They are also used in  televisions  and  mobile phones  to convert digital video data into analog video signals which connect to the screen drivers to display monochrome or color images.             Any time a signal is converted from one format to another, there is a potential loss of quality. Therefore, it is important to have a high-quality DAC whether you are converting audio or video signals. Applications 1.    ...
