Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive a disadvantage because it can lead to lower quality electrical connections – can be used to place components more tightly than they used to be placed due to the properties of lead-containing solders. For example, Motorola reports that their new RoHS wireless device assembly techniques are "...enabling a smaller, thinner, lighter unit." Their Motorola Q phone would not have been possible without the new solder. The lead-free solder allows for tighter pad spacing. Research into new alloys and technologies is allowing companies to release RoHS products that are currently exempt from compliance, "e.g." computer servers. IBM has announced a RoHS
Electrical length of "(2N+1)λ"/2. The electrical length of an antenna element is, in general, different from its physical length For example, increasing the diameter of the conductor, or the presence of nearby metal objects, will decrease the velocity of the waves in the element, increasing the electrical length. An antenna which is shorter than its resonant length is described as ""electrically short"" , and exhibits capacitive reactance. Similarly, an antenna which is longer than its resonant length is described as ""electrically long"" and exhibits inductive reactance. An antenna's effective electrical length can be changed without changing its physical length by adding reactance,
