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. At least 12 clues in this puzzle with an asterisk (*) are
pulled from this past week's (8/28 - 9/1) "Tech Industry Headlines" column on the RF
Cafe homepage. Enjoy!
