A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The wom

Hi Dason, Yes I was talking about the same paper. This is the best technical information available to clearly explain the physics of moisture diffusion inside a plastic package. Many of the guidelines contained in the current J-STD-033 are derived

I have experience cleaning NC for military boards. The reason for cleaning the NC is due to conformal coating requirements. Zestron Vigon A200 and Atron AC 100, as well as Petroferm Hydrex DX have both been effective at cleaning Alpha UP78 NC paste.

Never try to convince an exec. staff to change manning policies using efficiency, it's a losing cause. Look at your audience, they probably all have MBA's which means they only look at the dollars and cents. To them those aren't production machines o

The first question is, is this a high mix, low volume environment or vice versa? If it's the former then Kens solution is something you might want to look into. Depending on your feeder set up you might check to see if your operators have been traine

If you don't already have one, the best investment you can make in your case is a good thermometer/humidity meter. They are not at all expensive. Then record the temperature and RH about 4 times a shift. After a few weeks (maybe sooner) you can se
