Starting in 2013, the rate of decline in prices of digital electronics components like memory and microprocessors will slow from dropping 50% every 18 months to taking 3 years or 36 months.
That trend line will continue out to 2020, which means the price of a functionally identical digital electronic component that cost $100 in 2012 will cost $50 in 2015, then $25 in 2018.

3rd or 4th generation technology will be much better... on the market around 2025.
Why don't you tell us about it Nostradamus?
I'm curious too. Where in the H**l do you get your information?
The mouse in his pocket?
Or the voices in his head?

Which has what, exactly, to do with the topic?!?!
Just more five dollar words from a five cent mind.

Is that what's hanging underneath my truck that filters the exhaust, "digital electronics"?
Quote: Metal fiber DPF system is cheaper and more endurable than ceramic filter ; however, the regeneration near the wall (outer layer) is difficult because of the heat loss and the less gas flow rate near the wall. In this study, a 3D CFD simulation is performed to find the flow control method for the more uniform mass flux for all filter layer. The major control factors are filter porosity, distribution plate and swirler. By placing the distribution plate in front of the filter the flow near the wall can be increased. The optimum place and size was chosen. The swirler can increase the flow more near the wall.

Quote: Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system is considered as the most effective method to reduce particulate mater (PM) out of diesel exhaust. In general, silicon carbide (SiC) has been employed as the base materials for DPF substrate in diesel vehicles. Currently, a material, called cordierite (Cd), has been adopted for the DPF in a modern SUV with 2-liter CRDI diesel engine, complying EURO-5 emission regulation. Instead of its lower cost, Cd-based substrate was disadvantageous on thermal conductivity and heat capacity relative to SiC. In this work, the problems (i.e., face crack), initiated by the thermal drawbacks, were investigated as it applied into the DPF substrate. As the countermeasures to overcome, a control optimization of regeneration temperature elevation and an introduction of ingenious multiple regeneration strategy at problematic conditions were proposed and verified through real-road endurance tests.

Sweet copy and paste from a google search. You get those MAF tables figured out yet? I'm still waiting.
