For the sake of avid cruciverbalists amongst us, each week I create a new engineering and
technology themed crossword puzzle, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical words.
At least 10 clues in this puzzle with an asterisk (*) are pulled
from this past week's (10/2 - 10/6) "Tech Industry Headlines" column on the RF Cafe
homepage. Enjoy!
