Electronic devices increasingly come with glued displays and batteries. And while the adhesive seal serves as a protection against dirt and water, it complicates the opening procedure of the device and hence its repair. The iOpener: Warm it through, unstick the glue! With the help of our iOpener, you can easily and quickly loosen adhesive without risking damage to your device due to overheating with a heat gun. Originally designed for opening Apple iPads, the iOpener is just as suitable for Samsung tablets, Sony smartphones, and devices from any other manufacturer who prefers adhesive over screws. How it works Heat the iOpener and place it on your device: Simply heat up the iOpener in the microwave or a pot of boiling water and position it on the edge of your device. The heat will soften the adhesive without damaging your gadget so you can insert an opening pick between the display and the case. Repeat this procedure for all glued areas, the iOpener is reusable any number of times. Use opening tools to remove adhesive residue: With the right tools, you’re now ready to open your device without hassle. The opening picks are sharp-edged enough to cut through the adhesive strips. Complete the opening procedure by prying up the case with an opening tool or lift your display with a suction cup or an iSclack. A must-have for electronic repairs The most annoying part of your repair is done, the rest will be almost a cinch. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, the iOpener should be part and parcel of every toolbox worthy of its name.

20+ Macintosh Models, from 1984 to Today (History, Engineering, and Restoration) Apple is not like any other company. More than anyone else, it transformed technology into something people could desire, love, and even identify with—much like a luxury brand. Users were not only buying a tool; they were buying a vision, a way of life. At the center of this transformation stands the Macintosh. First introduced in 1984, it was radically different from everything before. With its graphical interface and mouse, it made computing approachable, even friendly. What now feels obvious—clicking on icons, dragging files, pointing instead of typing commands—was revolutionary at the time. The Macintosh not only changed the way people related to technology. The Macintosh forced the entire industry to rethink the way we use computers. This book tells that story through some of the most significant Macintosh models. Each one is presented not only in words but also in images, because these computers are more than technology—they are design icons, symbols of a unique vision. History, technical detail, and photography come together here, aiming to show each Macintosh as it truly deserves to be seen.

Drahtlose Kommunikation – sei es zur Ton-, Daten- oder Bildübertragung – prägt unser heutiges Leben. Während noch Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts der Rundfunk (und etwas später das Fernsehen) die dominierenden Anwendungen der drahtlosen Kommunikation waren, gibt es heute kaum mehr ein technisches Gerät, das nicht das Mittel der drahtlosen Kommunikation nutzt. Allen voran das beliebte Smartphone. Daneben gibt es sehr viele Anwendungen, die wir nicht sofort und automatisch mit den Begriffen Radio oder Funk verbinden, die aber auf der Nutzung elektromagnetischer Strahlung basieren. So zum Beispiel der Wagenschlüssel, die über Bluetooth verbundenen Kopfhörer, der automatische Rasenmäher, die gehassten Radargeschwindigkeitsmesser, der Laptop, der über Wi-Fi mit dem Internet verbunden ist, die kleinen Navigationsempfänger, usw. Diesen Anwendungen gemeinsam ist die Nutzung physikalischer Gegebenheiten durch die Technik. Ob Radar, Satellitenfernsehen, oder einfach nur das alte Mittelwellenradio, alle bauen auf denselben Grundlagen auf. Das Ziel dieses Buch ist es, diese Grundlagen zu erläutern und damit das Verständnis für die darauf aufbauenden Anwendungen zu fördern. Es soll Studenten den Einstieg ins Fachgebiet erleichtern und Voraussetzungen für den Zugang zu den Standardwerken der Fachliteratur schaffen. Es richtet sich aber auch an Personen, die an der Physik und der Technik interessiert sind und einen tieferen Einblick in die Grundlagen der drahtlosen Kommunikation und deren Anwendung erhalten wollen.
