Volume 2, Issue 1. February, 2000 Electronics in 2000 
As we enter the year 2000, let’s recap the world of Technology and Electronics over the past 100 years. Below are a few of the wonders that have been created over the past century.
1901 - The first electric washing machine 1910 - First aeroplane flight in Australia 1925 - Commercial radio in Australia 1946 - First electronic digital calculator 1946 - First mobile telephone in USA 1954 - IBM’s first office use computer 1956 - Australian television begins 1969 - Man walks on the moon 1981 - Launch of the apple computer 1983 - The Internet began (source: the Internet!) It’s hard to imagine life without electronics! Try to imagine how it will be like in another 100 years. Electronic components are becoming smaller and smaller as technology continues to grow. In the electronics industry competition is fierce and in order to compete manufacturers must make their electronic components not only smaller but also with greater capacity. Staff at Hybrid Electronics specialise in the design and manufacture of thick film hybrid microelectronic components that are not only small but powerful. Why not design the component as small as possible to begin with rather than the constant redesigning of circuits on PCB's? Imagine the cost savings! Telecommunication Active Filters
Cruise Control Thermostat
* No fuss, once a day on/off switching * Reduced electricity usage * Reduced water usage * No steam release into the room (because you forgot to turn the thermostat knob down!).

Hybrid Electronics have the
technology and test equipment for developing high performance active filters for telephone
system applications up to 20Khz frequency. Multipole low pass, band pass and precision
switch capacitor filters can be made on a single in line ceramic package. The benefit in
quality and thermal performance are due to the active circuit calibration and the close
thermal matchings of the resistor elements. 
Do you have a cruise
control function on your car? Now, apply that concept to your kettle or urn and you have a
cruise control thermostat for boiling water! Hybrid Electronics have recently developed
this concept for a customer. The thermostat enables water to be kept at a constant
temperature of 96oC. Other applications of the technology include coffee makers
and food warmers. Practical benefits of the thermostat are:
