Different Ways To Improve Chip Reliability
By Ed Sperling - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

A push toward greater reliability in safety- and mission-critical applications is prompting some innovative approaches in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and post-production analysis of chip behavior. While quality over time has come under intensive scrutiny in automotive, where German carmakers require chips to last 18 years with zero defects, it isn't the only market demanding extende... » read more

Should We Even Be Talking About 6G?
By Sarah Yost - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Friends and coworkers have been sending me a lot of articles lately about 6G, with snappy headlines that seem to suggest that 5G is already a thing of the past. As a marketing manager working on cellular technology, they want to know what I think. On the one hand, I’m excited to see that the hype surrounding 5G is shining a spotlight on wireless communications research and that visionaries ar... » read more

Test In New Frontiers: Flexible Circuits
By SE Staff - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Test is becoming increasingly complicated as new technologies such as flexible electronics begin playing mission-critical roles in applications where electronics have little or no history. Although flexible circuitry has been around for while, testing needs to catch up as these circuits are deployed across a variety of markets where conditions may be extreme. In many cases, sensors for monit... » read more

Climate change, manufacturing tolerances or design changes? What caused so many more home runs in professional baseball this year? CyberOptics will not be able to help you learn how climate change affected the home run statistics this year, but utilizing 3D industrial CT scanning could help identify changes in baseball design and manufacturing which may have contributed to a record spike in hom... » read more

Selecting an Approach to Build Flexible, Cost-Effective ECU Production Test Systems
By NI - 11 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Electronic control units (ECUs) were invented in the 1970s. At that time, people needed to improve fuel economy due to the oil crisis, which meant finding a way to make engines run cleaner and pollute less. Engines used a mechanical device called a distributor to control spark timing and a carburetor to control the fuel mixture. This mechanical system had minimal tuning and adjustment capabilit... » read more
