Are you a survey winner?

The winners, and the results, are in from the 1997 North American Integration Readership Study.

The study surveyed subscribers to determine how to better serve Integration readers editorially and to determine whether Integration would be useful in an electronic format.

Respondents to the survey were entered into a drawing for five TI-85C/RTL Graphing Calculators or PS-6965Si Organizers with PC-Link.

The winners are:

• John J. Yurcho, Anthem Electronics Inc., Horsham, Penn.
  
• Chris Gadke, Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, Ore.
  
• Thomas Meitl, Simpson Electric Co., Elgin, Ill.
  
• Donald W. Kane, Long Island Rail Road, Brentwood, N.Y.
  
• Wyona Wiltsey, Spectrasource Instr., Westlake, Calif.
  

Some of the improvements we made as a result of reader suggestions:

• A "one-stop" web address to order or download more technical information
  
• Inclusion of application report abstracts
  
• Electronic version on the web (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/integrat/current.htm), but continuing emphasis on the printed publication
  
• Technical information presented in easy-to-read, bulleted format
  
• Additional pages to incorporate more technical and application content
