		<title>American Male Prostitute &#8211; A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through my research I found that the market for nonfiction on writing and publishing is cluttered ad nauseam. The majority of these works are - excuse my French - full of crap. Then I remembered the saying "Don't anger me or I will write a novel about you", and that is what I am currently doing. There is no better weapon than writing a novel about the industry. They deserve it.]]></description>

		<title>Extending the reach of your CAN application</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the ingenious features of CAN, the bit monitoring, contributes not only to the enormous reliability of Controller Area Network, but it is ironically also responsible for its biggest drawback, the limited physical distance of the CAN bus. Restricted physical distance is definitely an issue especially for applications such as elevators, security systems and other building technologies. The one and only way to extend the usable bus length without compromising the reliability is to lower the baud rate. In cases where reliability is not the main focus, e.g. diagnostics and low priority messaging, a CAN bus can be extended as far as the reach of the Internet.]]></description>

		<title>Other J1939 Based Protocols</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard of choice for off-highway machines. It was all too natural that organizations and manufacturers in the agricultural, military and marine industries, rather than re-inventing the wheel, adopted the proven combination of physical layer, Controller Area Network (CAN), and J1939 as the higher layer protocol for vehicles. However, it is in the specific nature of agricultural and military as well as marine applications that slight modifications, including a name change, were necessary.]]></description>

		<title>Servo Motor Selection Criteria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The motor data needed to select a motor are rated speed, rated torque, intermittent torque, and rotor inertia. However, the best servo motor selection criteria is to use the motor's performance curve (torque over speed) and to verify it with the application requirements. Not all motor data sheets do provide such detailed information, since some manufacturers prefer to define the rated/intermittent torque and the rated speed of their motors in a more conservatively manner. Under certain conditions it is, however, possible to operate motors beyond their rated data.]]></description>
