Quality Control to Protect Your Reputation
When a product experiences a particularly embarrassing failure, rest assured that within 10 seconds the news will have traveled around the world via social media. Only preventing such failures will protect your good name. This white paper takes a broad look at the problem, treating quality as a holistic rather than a localized issue. It describes failures' costs as well as their less-tangible impact on your business.

Preventing Solar-cell Degradation
As with all electronic components, elevated temperatures will degrade the performance and shorten the life of solar cells. Unfortunately, the cells themselves dissipate considerable heat, and active cooling techniques prove unacceptably expensive. These scientists have found a way to let the cells cool themselves by adding a layer of patterned silica glass to dissipate the excess heat.

Faster Networks Get Fast Testing
Slowing adoption of fast networking systems like 100 GB Ethernet is a dearth of test applications to verify that designs work and products have been built correctly. This test-equipment supplier has developed such applications for its line of high-end oscilloscopes to address that void. The applications can run for extended times, and users can incorporate their own supplementary tests if necessary.

The Name of the Game is "Access"
Manufacturing engineers have long complained that a lack of access points limits the ability to adequately test electronic assemblies. This company has developed loop terminals for placement by standard pick-and-place machines to allow contact with probes, clips, and hooks. The ball-and-socket terminals require only small test pads, making them suitable for today's densely populated printed-circuit boards.
