Employment Statistics. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 200,000 people are presently employed in the audio engineering field. Further growth is expected, with a 17 percent increase predicted to occur between 2006 and 2016. Although the Consumer Electronics Association reported that from 2000 to 2009, American consumers spent 35 percent less on home stereo components (about 960 million), in that same time period, sales of portable digital music devices exploded to 5.4 billion. People are still willing to spend money on...

In the opinion of the US Consumer Electronics Association HDTV sets will outsell analogue sets by a margin of 89% in 2006 with total net sales of 15.9 million. In cash terms, digital TV sales increased by 60% to reach 17 billion in 2005 with flat panel displays, including LCD and plasma options, accounting for 40% of this figure.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE). 3 Park Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10016-5997, U.S.A. Phone +1 212-419-7900, Fax +1 212-752-4929. E-mail stds-info ieee.org. URL http //www.ieee.org. IEEE is a non-profit, technical professional association of more than 360,000 individual members in approximately 175 countries. The IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization is a separate corporation closely affiliated with the IEEE. IEEE standards and publications are in technical areas ranging from biomedical technology and computer engineering to electric power, aerospace, and consumer electronics. They have almost 900 active standards with 700 under development. IEEE standards can be searched and purchased on their Web site. The site also links to portals for IEEE standards activities in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. 

The half cell potential (s° values) corresponding to the given half cell reactions are sometimes referred to as standard reduction potentials and may be found in tables. Typically one of the half cell reactions should be turned around as each redox reaction contains one reduction reaction and one oxidation reaction. This means that one of the signs from the table must be turned around. Further may the half cell reaction from the table typically be multiplied with an integer in order to make sure that the number of electrons fits the number of consumed electrons from the overall cell reaction. These integer multiplications are associate with the determination of the free energy of Gibb s for a half cell reaction ...
