	Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows when an excess of electric charge, stored on an electrically insulated object, finds a path to an object at a different electrical potential (such as ground).
		One of the causes of charge separation that creates an ESD event is the triboelectric effect, in which certain materials become electrically charged after coming into contact with another different material and then being separated.
		The most spectacular form of ESD is the spark, which occurs when a strong electric field creates an ionised conductive channel in air.

		ESD damage is usually caused by one of three events: direct electrostatic discharge to the device, electrostatic discharge from the device or field-induced discharges.
		Damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by the device's ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the voltage levels involved.
		As noted earlier, damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by the device's ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the voltage levels involved-its ESD sensitivity.

	PC ComputerNotes - ESD
		ESD is simply the discharge of built up static electricity.
		ESD has the capability of causing enough damage to the components inside your computer to render it completely inoperable.
		This means that ESD can cause damage to the various components inside your computer and you won't feel it, hear it, or see it.

	What is ESD or ElectroStatic Discharge
		ESD, or ElectroStatic Discharge, is one of the few things an individual can do to damage or destroy his or her computer or hardware components.
		ESD can occur without the user feeling a shock and will only occur while working on the inside of the computer or handling an expansion card.
		The best method of preventing ESD is to use an ESD wrist strap and/or use a grounding mat or table.

	ESD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Electrostatic discharge or "ESD" is a very common everyday electrical phenomenon which can not be avoided or prevented, however, it can be controlled to prevent it from damaging your semiconductor components (though not necessarily 100%).
		ESD damage which is not catastrophic leaves the component operable, but damaged, such that it will fail at a later time under normal stresses.
		The worst part of ESD is that the damage occurs deep within the device at a microscopic level, so you cannot ever see it to verify that ESD was the culprit.

		ESD was created to provide a consistent and simple interface to the audio device, so applications do not need to have different driver support written per architecture.
		ESD accomplishes these things while remaining transparent to the application, meaning that the application developer can simply provide ESD support and let it do the rest.
		For a ESD client local to the machine which the ESD daemon is running on, the data is transferred through a local socket, then written to the sound device by the ESD daemon.

	ESD Toolkit: Author's Note
		I was inspired to develop the ESD Toolkit after attending the United Nations (UN) Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) in 1998.
		Nevertheless, I noted growing frustration that education for sustainable development (ESD) was not advancing more rapidly; that no one had taken responsibility for ESD nor raised money to promote it; that no one knew where or how to start; and that people were pointing fingers at others, accusing them of not doing enough.
		The first edition of the ESD Toolkit was published in 2000 in both hard copy and on the World Wide Web.

	Understanding ESD Issues in Magnetic Recording
		ESD sensitive devices can be grouped as being susceptible to damage by energy or voltage.
		When measuring ESD current transients, attention must be paid to bandwidth of all components and the sampling rate of the digital scope since a metal contact ESD transient can be over in 1 ns.
		Looking to the future, the importance of understanding ESD in magnetic recording will only grow, since the trend is for each new generation of AMR head, as well as the new GMR head, to be even more sensitive to ESD damage than the previous generation recording heads.
