11/28/2012 3:10 PM EST

It’s that time of year again – time for the top articles of 2012 on Industrial Control DesignLine.

This year I’m changing it from the top ten to the top dozen (well, baker’s dozen—actually 13). I’ll be posting the countdown articles each week through the 19^th. You may want to read stuff on Christmas, but I don’t. So, here goes. Drum roll, please...

#13 – Introduction to USB--Part I (and here’s Part II just published as the feature article this week)

#12 – Surge protection – Stop Fried Electronics

#11 – The Basics of Torque Measurement

#10 – The basics of waterproofing capacitive touchscreens

#9 -    An introduction to Capacitive Sensing—Part I (and here are Part II and Part III)

I have to stress here that a large percentage of the top articles of the year are tutorial in nature (introduction to, the basics of, tutorial, a primer on….). So, if you’re really an expert in your area, please share your expertise with the rest of us in the form of an article.

Congratulations to the above authors—Great job! Tune in next week for articles #5, 6, 7 and 8.
