save our countries economy. --This paper begins with a collection of
quotes from concerned and knowledgeable persons about the coming disaster. Now,
in year 2008, there is also a book about this subject by Fareed Zakarias,

turns into a Terrifying NIGHTMARE
Having <FAME and FORTUNE> as our life’s primary goal has long been part
of our cultural values, and it has been good as well as bad. But, with
Globalization a reality now; and when combined with our sacred believe in a “Free
Trade” with no tariffs, unprecedented Radical
Capitalism has resulted which will destroy our Nation.

part of the
Why do these rich
US-money-barons do this to us? Because we let them, and their own benefits
are sky-rocketing into the Billions. Is there a system of Global production
that does not have this flaw of large wage differences, causing Trade
imbalances? Yes, but not for a world consisting of “sovereign” Nations at
different stages of development. None of our politician is focusing on this
real CAUSE of the problem. That is why they don’t mentioning it in their
speeches. How can an incentive package for US citizens equalize wages with
employees in
Let me say some words about the moral and ethical values of these two Fs in our Dream and what they actually
stand for. The fame part is our craving for adulation by others to stroke our
<EGO> and the fortune part is our demand to become <filthy-rich>
(greed) which gives us <CONTROL> over others and also earns us admiration
by many. Actually both Fs have the
same motive, which is to make us <FEEL SUPERIOR OVER OTHERS>, satisfying
our ego.
These are our most valued and sacred American believes and when judged from a
moral and ethical standpoint, you must admit that they are REALY UGLY. Therefore,
most of us common people HATE these totally selfish or EGO-centric rich
stockholders and their CEOs for what they are doing to us and our country. But given a chance to trade places with
them, we would do so in a second.
In the past, powerful trade unions
and our elected Government kept these totally selfish money-barons in
check and it has given us the strongest economy in the World. But
now, in its most selfish and radical form, capitalism is destroying our
country.
If you have read the Bible or seen the movie <The Ten Commandments> you
will recognize our greedy cravings as the reason old Moses had to climb the
mountain a second time to question the <Burning Bush> again. Trouble is,
we have no Moses any more. And if you are a Buddhist, you will remember your
teacher reminding you that you cannot let your EGO run your life if you ever
hope to graduate from his classes.

Solution for a Strong, but still democratic, Leadership
to save our economy
Let me finish my three pages of listings and <sound-bytes> for the major flaws
of our American Culture and concentrate on a <solution> instead. A direct way is to focus on the
<real> cause, which tells us that to maintain our standard of living and
to have any significant role in this World; we will need to do the impossible.
Change our most sacred believes and turn back the time 50 years to “the great
social contract” of the “GI-bill”, John F Kennedy and the
“National Defense Education Act” of 1958. This period, from 45 to 75, has also
been called “The Golden Age of Capitalism” We need to look at J. F.
Kennedy’s famous line as our new goal:
<Ask not what the country can do for you,
but what you can do for the country.>
If this were the only way out-off
this <looming
economic cataclysm>, then I would say our chances are null, zero,
nada, keine, nichts. The same might be true for reintroducing the
old style protectionism with tariffs. I have absolutely no hope that either way
will work. --- But now I think I have discovered a different way which does not
require a cultural change for all 300 million American citizens, but only for a
few thousand Business Leaders.

of the
--- <These Disruptive/ Enabling
innovations are the Holly Grail of engineering.> ---
Christensen explains what
influence these innovations have had for the cultural evolution of mankind when
he writes in his paper, Managing the Disruption of Healthcare:
---- Nearly every one of the disruptive technologies reviewed in the The
Innovator's Dilemma - including hydraulic excavators, steel minimills
and small business accounting software - had the effect of enabling a larger
population of less-skilled [and
less wealthy] people to do things that historically had been in the domain
of expensive specialists. In each of these examples, customers ultimately found
themselves with products and services that were far more reliable, more
convenient to use, and cost less, than what would have been available had these
disruptive revolutions not occurred. Few of us would opt to return to the
days of centralized mainframe computing, corporate copying centers or to
telegraphy. Though they were simple and inadequate at the outset, the
disruptive innovations that overturned their industries left us much better off
- even though they invariably left in their wake the wrecks of the companies
that were the industry's prior leaders. --- In fact, these disruptions have
been a fundamental mechanism by which the quality of our lives has
improved.
As I ask, will the
For this reason our Government
will have to force-feed the
<business people> to make them “see the light”. The example for such <Government
intervention>, which I mentioned before, happened because the
Japanese Government wanted to <fix> their medical system which needed an
urgent upgrade. The Government forcefully
convinced the electronics industry to come up with an MRI
machine which was affordable to the smallest of hospitals. After much grouching
and cussing, the industry actually succeeded. Now a “head-scan-MRI test” cost

DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS, (by Prof. C.M. Christensen) for RESTORING OUR
ECONOMY

Working for years on my paper “EE-Logos.org”,
I could only imagined our future to be a <looming Economic Cataclysm engulfing
the
I will explain, but first, let me say what I see as the real cause
of our economic crises. Sure, the blown Housing-bubble and the failed
Government-Banking-oversight have caused serious problems, but these all have
well known and proven solutions. The
FATAL problem for the
The $787 Billion STIMULUS-program does not address the above problem at all; it
stimulates only the local economy weakly in an undifferentiated way. --- This
program is obviously not the “right
kind of plan” Larry; because it is based on a WRONG DIAGNOSIS, assuming we are only
dealing with a cyclic recession. As Business Professor Peter Morici, of
the University of Maryland, explains it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF0Pv4d38UI&feature=related “A DEPRESSION is a recession that DOES NOT SELF-CORRECT , because of
fundamental structural problems in the economy, such as <broken banks> or
a <huge trade deficit>.”
We have BOTH SYMPTONS, <Broken
Banks> and a <Huge Trade Deficit>, which clearly indicates that
we were already heading for a MAJOR DEPRESSION years ago. The “stimulus
treatment”, recommended by our so called
<Business Advisors> will work only for a <cyclic recession>; it
never had the ability to miraculously
restore our very sick economy. Insisting that this faulty-diagnosis is still correct will
cause great misery for hundreds of Millions and even death to hundreds of
thousands of our
How can our Business Professors believe in a <Fetishized
Hypercapitalism>, which
restores our Economy miraculously
back to life, just by adding Billions of dollars? --- It’s like believing in cans of <Instant fish>, just by
adding Galons of water. (Webster’s defination: fetish adj. [<L
facticius] 1.any object believed by superstitious people to have magical
power. [Like a Rabbit’s foot] )
Author Iain Banks
observed this years ago, when he wrote:
”It is in the
elevation of this profoundly mechanistic (and in that sense perversely
innocent) [capitalistic] system to a position above all other moral,
philosophical and political values and considerations that humankind displays
most convincingly both its present intellectual immaturity and - through
grossly pursued selfishness (rather than the applied hatred of others) a
kind of synthetic evil.”
For a time I was baffled when none of the “Stimulus money” was ever directed
towards the <Outsourcing problem> which <deindustrializes> our country. The new term of <Fetishized Hypercapitalism> has
now opened my eyes. It works by Magic, STUPID! –
If you have ever tried to fix things by MAGIC you’ll understand that our
economy can’t be restored that way. Understanding that this DEPRESSION can last
for decades is easy, my solution is more difficult to comprehend. You need to
read my web-pages and do some study on Prof. Christensen’s work, but you don’t
need to understand my DSO design, it just works even without magic.

What is this “Perversion” of
our Capitalistic Culture?
<Let me state here a personal
conviction that appears, right now, to be profoundly unfashionable; which is
that a planned economy can be more productive - and more morally desirable -
than one left to market forces. The market is a good example of evolution
in action; the try-everything-and-see-what-works approach. This might provide a
perfectly morally satisfactory resource-management system so long as there was
absolutely no question of any sentient creature ever being treated purely as
one of those resources. The market, for all its (profoundly inelegant)
complexities, remains a crude and essentially blind system, and is - without
the sort of drastic amendments liable to cripple the economic efficacy which is
its greatest claimed asset - intrinsically incapable of distinguishing between
simple non-use of matter resulting from processal superfluity [surplus] and the
acute, prolonged and wide-spread suffering of conscious beings.
It is, arguably, in the elevation of this profoundly mechanistic (and in that
sense perversely innocent) [capitalistic] system to a position above all other
moral, philosophical and political values and considerations that humankind
displays most convincingly both its present intellectual immaturity and - through grossly pursued selfishness (rather than the applied hatred of others) a kind of synthetic evil.>

Here is a good description of our
present-day US America, the kind of The Wasteland which Joseph
Campbell has described in these words: “The problem of the grail quest
is the re-vitalization of what is known as the WasteLand. The WasteLand is
a world where people live not out of their own initiative, but out of what they
think they're supposed to do. People have inherited their official roles and
positions; they haven't earned them. This is the situation of the Wasteland, --- a
place where the sense of the vitality of life has gone. Bill, no one can
prevent the coming disaster, and I can only buy us more time to adjust. It’s
the way by which another two to three Billion of the Word’s
population is finally getting into the industrial age and out of
poverty, hardship and hunger. (What’s the sacrifice of just 280 million
Americans compared to that?) --- What I tried to do Bill, was to increase the
US EE-student enrolment by motivating our young people and giving them the
tools to learn the craft. I have worked for more than 15 years now, not only to
invent these tools, the fishing boats and nets for engineers, at less
than 1/20th the present cost, but also to provide a design methodology for them
to repeat this type of engineering for many other instruments. (E.g. Medical
diagnostic instruments, MRIs etc.) --- With no way of getting even a small
founding from the Government or any private organization; or finding any fellow
engineers who are willing to help me voluntarily. --- I am giving up Bill!
--- (I got “help” for this decision by a Government organization, the “Bureau
of Motor Vehicles”, who, ignored a ruling by the Judge of the traffic-court,
(they think they are “above the law”) and took my drivers license away.)
This country is not worth saving
Bill; it’s corrupt down to the bones. The famous line by J.F.K
Ask not what the Country can do for you, but what you
can do for the Country,
is now just a bad joke. --- For you who are
not familiar with the Capitalistic process by which our Industry is being
transferred offshore, here is a short outline. --- Since average wages in Asian
countries are about one dollar per man-our, including the necessary engineers
on the factory floor, a company who does not outsource its products will not be
competitive and go into bankruptcy in a short time. --- Lately, the same
situation has developed for even the most demanding and sophisticated
engineering design jobs. Here is a short part from an article in the June issue
of Electronic Design:
“Motorola selected a Taiwan
company, BenQ Corp., to design and manufacture millions of mobile phones. Last
year, BenQ decided to sell the phones in the fast growing Chinese market under
its own name. Needless to say, Motorola canceled its contract.” --- Please
notice that both, manufacturing as well as the design job had been outsourced
to be done in China, --- canceling was all Motorola could do. BenQ however now
sells even more of these phones than before. When China and India decide the
time has come to end the “economic poker-game”, they can take over all
manufacturing and design facilities in their country with a snap of a finger.
At that time, we in the US, will be left with only the headquarter buildings
and its personal of the previously big corporations, factories and design
laboratories and its staff will have disappeared.
We have then “successfully”
completed: <The voluntary DE-INDUSTRIALIZATION of the US.

50-GHz-bandwidth,
sequential-sampling DSOs
test 10-Gbps network components
Of ALL DIGITAL SCOPES, only sequential equivalent-time-sampling
instruments offer bandwidths as high as 50 GHz. This capability makes such
scopes the instruments of choice in applications of rapidly growing
importance---electro-optics, for example.
Yet, because
these scopes work only with repetitive waveforms and take just one sample
during each input-signal iteration, they
lack the quick response of lower bandwidth, real-time -and random-sampling
instruments. This characteristic limits Sequential-sampling scopes largely
to applications that need extraordinary bandwidth. To address
the requirements of engineers, who develop components for networks that
transmit data at speeds as high as10Gbps, Tektronix has introduced a family of
sequential-sampling scopes. (TDS8000 and CDS8000) ------- Each scope
accommodates four sampling modules. Five modules provide a variety of
electrical interfaces. Three more optical-sampling modules support the
OC-12/STM4, OC-48/STM16, OC-192/STM64, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre Channel
standards. ... The TDS-8000 cost $19,000. Prices for electrical-sampling
modules (15GHz) begin at $10,500 each; prices for optical-sampling modules
begin at $17,000 each. - Tektronix Inc, 1-800-426-2200, www.tektronix.com.

50-GHz-Banwith, sequential-sampling DSOs
At a $40,000 starting price
(two Sampling modules), the above might be the "bleeding edge" instead, but here is a PC-Card size DSO, with
has nearly identical performance and a cost of only $250 in a 6-GHz, and of
$400 in a 50 GHz version. This Card-Scope uses sequential-sampling too, but the
new DS2O method (two-dimensional Sampling) takes a multitude
of samples per repetition, making the DS2O a general-purpose scope for all frequency ranges.
LeCroy calls a similar method NRS, “Near Real-time Sampling” and uses it in
their latest line of DSOs. Another advantage of the DS2O method is
that a digitizing resolution of more than 12 bits is obtained directly and not
by averaging many traces, as with conventional scopes. --- The present 6-GHz
design uses only readily available (commodity) ICs, but with the new Indium
Phosphide (InP) chips bandwidth can easily go beyond 50-GHz, while the power
consumption still remains within the constrains of the USB link. The cost of
only one of the Tektronix TDS8000 would buy 100 of the PC-Card+USB DSOs. But,
of course, a standard PC is needed for the display and to perform the many
post-acquisition tasks listed as features for the TDS8000. There is only one
"small" problem; the PC-Card DSO is a “disruptive technology” and no T&M Company will market it,
because it would “cannibalize” their high-end $40,000 scope market. (In other
words, the company looses $40,000 every time they sell a card-scope and this
will get the CEO fired in a few weeks.) This
Card-scope is one of the best examples for a “disruptive technology”
which is a concept discovery of Professor Clayton M. Christensen, The
Innovator's Dilemma; Harvard School of Business.

or more for this kind of Bandwidth and you might ask: "how much do I have to give up?" ---
Certainly not any basic performance, and "post acquisition programs",
such as "Fast Fourier Transform", etc. are also provided. --- This
revolutionary high performance DSO can soon be available to you, but only if
you send us a post card saying you will need one in college for your
lab-classes. --- With these “cards” we could get a Grant ($2Mill needed) to
start production. Sales will only be to registered engineering and science
students, but also to younger students with a letter of recommendation from
their science school-teacher.
EE-Logos.org is a
”Non-Profit” Organization with the exclusive mission to motivate Engineering and Science students by treating them
as privileged on one hand, but
also burdening them with
improving the economic situation in this World with innovations of new Enabling
technologies.

The sensational Cost/Performance ratio of these new DS2Os is
achieved by utilizing a novel <Two-dimensional-Sampling> method (the S2
part), which also makes it feasible to use the well proven <Software Defined> design
concept. (All DSO features and functions, as well as the digitizing process
itself, are in software.) This then reduces the hardware cost to an absolute
minimum. The trade-press will likely publish Front-page reports and demand will
outstrip supplies. Also, the T&M Industry might sue us, because GHz DSOs
are their “Flagships” and we are threatening their livelihood. And while
they cannot win, they can tie us up in court with the same effect. (Send your
postcard now!) --- This DS2O is a “Disruptive Technology” for the industry, but an “Enabling Technology” for you,
which will let you design the most demanding circuits in electronics. (The
concept of Disruptive technologies is a discovery of Harvard Prof. C.M.
Christensen; "The Innovators" Dilemma …")
Actually there will be
several versions of this DS2O; first a 200-MHz design for $225, then
the 6.5-GHz version shown above, and a FET-input 1.2-GHz version for $425. One
type of DS2O will use a Nintendo platform as shown, another type;
for $100 less, will be in a PC-Card size
package, but with a fast USB link to a PC-type notebook or desk-top computer.
