An exciting new kind of part, the LT series Optocopplers:

"Often these units are referenced to as Optocoplers, as they
function similar to standard copplers..."

So what's a "coppler"? I know what a coupler is, and a cobbler, but I'm
afraid that "coppler" is outside of my vocabulary.

Hopefully they mean "optocoupler"; I'd hate to put one on a board
expecting opto-isolation and have my equipment case fill up with a
million tiny, shining shoes :).

One more question: Do they QA their chips as thoroughly as they QA
their website?

That looks like a poor translation from German to English.

Gentlemen:

I see from the link:

http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com/catalog/Category.aspx?CategoryName=LT+Series

that you are offering a family of devices which you call
'optocopplers', but which seem to be similar to what are generally
referred to as 'optocouplers'. I'd be pleased to hear if there's a
unique set of characteristics about them which warrants their new
name.

Thank you,

John Fields

Appart from the lacking english,
the difference is a resistor output, not unlike a CdS.

Originally produced by Vactec under the same part numbers.
Then renamed under EG&G Reticon.

Vactec always had their own name for them - 'vactrols' - and never had
a website, so the artiste 'doing' the new web sales stuff has nothing
to copy.

I can't believe you don't understand that their optocoppers are in function
similars to standard copper.

Actually, he had proper spelling to examine in their brochures.
If a new word was being added, then he could have asked around.
Someone may have verbally told him to add the "optocoupler" bit
and he thought coppler was the correct way to spell coupler.

People who can't spell often don't know when they're spelling
incorrectly. A new crop of kids who can't spell is hitting the
workplace, and now we're beginning to see more and more major
misspellings in newsprint, full-page magazine ads, etc., etc.

No, no, it's *Coppler*.

Peach-Apricot Coppler

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 can (1lb 13 oz)sliced peaches, drained, juice reserved
1 can(10 1/2 oz)apricots
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Crust Batter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter softened
1 large egg

Topping
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons honey, at room temperature
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a medium saucepan, mix together sugar and cornstarch; stir in 1/2
cup reserved peach juice. Cook cornstarch and juice mixture over
medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens, or
about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter, cinnamon, and
nutmeg. Add peaches and apricots, Spoon fruit mixture into a 1 1/2
quart baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter,
and egg; blend well. Spoon batter over fruit mixture. Bake coppler in
a 400° preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 30
minutes. Transfer coppler to a wire rack to cool slightly.

To prepare whipped topping, beat together heavy cream, honey, and
cinnamon at medium speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Serve coppler warm, topped with honey spiced whipped cream.

Too bad they only go to 400 volts. I was thinking a high-voltage (but
slow!) amp using totem-pole Vactrols in the output.

A true controlled resistance is actually an interesting component.

I see many misspellings on CNN, and I watch it infrequently. In their
defense, one of the many jobs I had in broadcasting years ago was
operating the character generator, and mistakes did happen. It's just
that I also see it more frequently now on CNN, and I was working in a
tiny market for Canada's public broadcaster, not for CNN.
