  • Writing Examples

    At RCJC we have written material for a wide range of publications and purposes. These include user manuals, training manuals, help files, magazine articles, a short book, parts of electronics text books, case studies, and customer success stories. We also have done a lot of marketplace research, feasibility studies and needs assessment work that included writing reports. Occasionally we write web content, data sheets and marketing communications. Since early 2006 our focus has primarily been on writing operations manuals, standard operating procedures (SOP) and training materials for the water and wastewater treatment industry. In mid-2009 we began to diversify, adding clients in the agricultural, educational and data communications industry.

    On this page you can view and/or download samples of many of them (in pdf format).

    The IL300 Linear Optocoupler

    “Optical isolators have been around for quite a few years now and are usually used in discrete circuits to couple on/off signals from one system to another. Using light to turn on an output device in the chip enables in excess of 2500 volts of isolation between the input and output…”
