  Electronic Music - MSN Encarta
Electronic Music, music that requires the use of electronic devices to produce or manipulate sound during its composition and performance.
Electronic music is thus distinguishable from music composed in the traditional manner but played on an electronic instrument such as the electronic organ or electric guitar, and from music played through an electronic medium such as a compact disc (CD) player or radio.
Electronic music by the year 2000 was no longer a separate branch of modern music but part of the mainstream.

 Electronic pest control
Tests of commercial ultrasonic devices have indicated that rodents may be repelled from the immediate area of the ultrasound device for a few minutes to a few days, but they will nearly always return and resume normal activities.
One such device called Pest Offense® is widely advertised on late night television using pseudoscientific jargon and scare tactics, such as reading the warning labels from pesticide containers which were obviously selected from agricultural chemicals, not household pesticides available to the general public.
There is no electronic pest control device, either ultrasonic, electromagnetic, or any combination of these, scientifically proven to repel, mitigate, irritate, kill, or otherwise effect any animal or insect to any degree that would be effective enough to justify their use.

 ELNEC - Developer's Tools
Electronic device is any device which electronic part may get damaged by improper handling as a result of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) or by equalizing currents.
In the former case the devices are not galvanically connected, but they are connected, for example, by a capacity coupling or trough a separation transformer, and they have different potentials.
If we think about devices powered from a mains supply, the differences in the potentials of the ‘grounds’ may be up to tens of volts at very low impedances of the power supplies.

 Electronic Hazardous Waste (E-Waste)
One of the major objectives of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act, as amended, is to establish a new program for consumers and the public to return, recycle and ensure the safe and environmentally-sound disposal of video display devices, such as televisions and computer monitors, that are hazardous wastes when discarded.
These devices may not be "covered" if they are originally sold as part of a motor vehicle, or as part of a piece of industrial, commercial or medical equipment, or if they are contained within certain appliances at the time of purchase.
When the consumer discards a "covered electronic device," it becomes a hazardous waste, called a "covered electronic waste." Qualified e-waste collectors and recyclers may receive cost-reimbursement from the fund established from the recycling fees for their management of covered electronic wastes.

 Atom-Sized Electronic Devices Identified Within Carbon Nanotubes
Nanotube devices have been predicted by theorists but this is the first demonstration that such devices actually exist.
According to a theory proposed by Berkeley Lab physicists Marvin Cohen and Steven Louie, both also with UC Berkeley, an electronic device could be created at the interface between two dissimilar nanotubes, one that acts as a metal and one that acts as a semiconductor.
Rather than wiring individual devices in nanotubes for specific purposes, as is done with silicon chips, Zettl suggests a better approach might be to make a "tube cube," a block of nanotubes that would be densely packed with billions upon billions of devices.
