When a global medical device company needed help setting up a reliability program, Marie Getsug was up for the task. As a program manager of strategic consulting for asset management at Jacobs ...

Faster processors, lowered power targets and shrinking technology have increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) reliability analysis. With the 20nm node becoming mainstream, IC design teams ...

Assume your task is to design a dc-dc converter with a defined reliability — at minimum cost. To succeed, you would have to prove that you met or exceeded the reliability target. You can do this by ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

Abstract: In response to the conventional approach of designing reliability for redundant systems, which often assumes independence among component failures and may not fully capture the true system ...

Design rule checking (DRC) represents a common platform by which we can all compare relative rule complexity. The industry expectation is that all foundries will provide complete DRC and layout vs.

In a fuel cell, flow channels are crucial components responsible for various essential functions that enable the system to operate effectively. The design of a directly coupled flow channel in a ...
