Alberto: There's no rules, but it works sorta like this: RESISTORS Usually marked in ohms using a standard code: First two numbers is the value Third number is the multiplier 102 = 1.0 x 10� ohm = 1000 ohm = 1 kW CAPACITOR Usually not marked. When

This is certainly an excellent question. We have shied away from going web based for several reasons: 1. Yes - bandwidth is a real issue. Research into instructional effectiveness of computer based training shows that students lose interest if res

We are currently in release 1.4 and 1.5 of the majority of our courses, partly because we do fix minor errors that do crop up, and release maintenance updates. I infer from your comment that you take exception to one or more of the test questions in

Deon, my first response is YES - big time. You are correct that there are some massive issues here. For one thing, lead free solders are only one solution, as conductive epoxy has also been put forward. This was demonstrated on the TAC line at Ne

There are a number of issues here. One is having good benchmarks prior to training. Most companies monitor production issues like inventory, scrap, rework, etc. A good ESD program would be performing frequent audits and recording deviations. Hard

Hi: Generlly speaking, in a reactive mode, nitrogen blankets are used to improve the yield of a process that is marginal in terms of removing, and/or preventing the re-appearence of, oxides on copper features or component I/Os. That marginality can
