For the sake of avid cruciverbalists amongst us, each week I create a new crossword puzzle that has
a theme related to engineering, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical words. You will
never be asked the name of a movie star unless he/she was involved in a technical endeavor (e.g., Hedy Lamarr). Clues in this week's puzzle
with an asterisk (*) are pulled from this past week's (1/23 - 1/27)
"High Tech News" column on the RF Cafe homepage.
Enjoy!
