Volume 2 kicks off with these three popular classic Ideas for Design:

LEDs are nonlinear devices with I/V curves that resemble the curves of rectifier diodes. Designers of lighting drivers require a good approach to modeling the LED device performance in the first quadrant of the I/V plane.

It's possible to build an analog calculator using a pulse-width modulator (PWM) to perform accurate four-quadrant multiplication and division. 

A low-cost, large-area capacitive sensor is the wide-scale complement to the ubiquitous, finger-operated touchscreen sensor and can detect presence through plywood or wallboard.
