In This Issue [Editor´s Note]

Welcome to the Spring 2010 issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine! This Spring 2010 issue, profiling the career of John Meredith as a life-long member of the IEEE, and featuring a profile of the IEEE by 2008 IEEE President Lew Terman, marks the second issue of the second year of this magazine. As with the previous issues, we remain thankful for the support and initiatives of Executive Director Anne O´Neill, SSCS Technology Editor Dick Jaeger, SSCS Treasurer Rakesh Kumar, and News Editor Katherine Olstein and for the columns of Pengfei Zhang, associate editor of Asia and Africa, Tony Harker, associate editor of Europe, and Tom Lee, contributing editor. The goal of each issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine continues to be to create a series of self-contained resources, with original sources and new contributions by experts describing the current state of affairs in technology in view of the influence of original papers and/or patents.
