  Many teachers use the systems approach to introduce electronics to pupils. Few teachers go beyond initial problem-solving with this approach. The systems approach has potential for the whole of electronics teaching. One of the main purposes of this article is to stress just how valuable this approach can be, particularly to project work.¹

  During surgical operations, the well being of the patient is the responsibility of the anaesthetist, while the surgeon performs the actual operation. The anaesthetist therefore monitors the patient's vital signs during the operation and hence deduces his state at any particular instant. The anaesthetist must also note these vital signs to include in a report on the operation used in post-operative care, and also possibly in court in case of mishap.

  The aim of this project was to produce a system which can use the signal from the level sensor in the car's fuel tank and display, in gallons on two seven-segment displays, the amount of fuel in the tank. The digital display is intended to be easier to read than the analogue gauges usually found in cars and which are generally not calibrated.

  The idea of extracting power from the wind is almost as old as civilisation itself, with records of existing windmills back as far as the 17th century BC, the time of the Babylonian emperor Hammurabi. Although mideastern countries possessed such knowledge, windmills were not introduced into Europe until the crusaders brought them back in the 13th century AD, but by the early 19th century there were 10000 windmills in operation in England alone.
