Optimization Of Solder Paste Volume For Tape Ball Grid Array (Tbga) Packages, Harjinder S. Bajwa Dec 1996

Optimization Of Solder Paste Volume For Tape Ball Grid Array (Tbga) Packages, Harjinder S. Bajwa

Master's Projects

A complete design of experiment was conducted to determine the optimum solder paste volume needed to establish reliable solder joints on tape ball grid arrays. The focus of the investigation was to optimize the solder paste volume, thus eliminating soldering defects such as shorting to ground plane due to solder wicking, bridging, and insufficient or open solder. Based on theoretical calculations for the solder paste volume, a matrix was developed and stencils were designed to deposit paste to the calculated volumes. Four parameters; solder paste volume, thickness and aperture openings in stencil design, reflow temperature, and pad geometries on the …

A Comparison Of Traffic Models: Part 1, Framework, Hong Lo, Wei-Hua Lin, Lawrence Liao, Elbert Chang, Jacob Tsao Aug 1996

A Comparison Of Traffic Models: Part 1, Framework, Hong Lo, Wei-Hua Lin, Lawrence Liao, Elbert Chang, Jacob Tsao

Faculty Publications

This report defines a framework for comparing dynamic traffic models. It emphasizes four dimensions: functionality, traffic dynamics, route choice dy namics, and overall network performance. The first dimension compares the models through a check-list of model functions. Regarding the last three comparison dimensions, a total of five networks and twelve scenarios are defined. These test scenarios are designed to accentuate model properties and differences. Also included in the report are a list of performance measures for comparison purpose, and a discussion of the interpretation of results.

Dynamic Traffic Assignment For Automated Highway Systems: A Two-Lane Highway With Speed Constancy, H.-S. Jacob Tsao Aug 1996

Dynamic Traffic Assignment For Automated Highway Systems: A Two-Lane Highway With Speed Constancy, H.-S. Jacob Tsao

Faculty Publications

Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complexity associated with AHS dynamic traffic assignment is lane assignment. Lane changes, for fully utilizing AHS capacity or for exiting, incur disturbances to and hence reduction of longitudinal flow. Intelligent lane assignment is necessary to ensure a high rate of successful exiting, to …

The Quest For The Gnarl, Rudy Rucker May 1996

The Quest For The Gnarl, Rudy Rucker

SWITCH

The article describes some of the author’s own image-generating computer programs that he describes as “gnarly”. He began writing a simple spirograph program based off simple sine wave function called Spiro. Later transitioned into writing with C and better programs using more nonlinear feedback. Where Spiro is based on a simple sine wave function, Vine uses a nested sine function: the sine of the sine. The need for a more complicated computational approach lead to iteration and parallelism. Julgnarl uses Iteration and Calife uses parallelism. Calife shows one-dimensional cellular automata: spaces in which virtual computers are lined up like beads …

Rucker, Rudy Rucker

SWITCH

In this article, Rudy Rucker shares his thoughts on hacking. He summarizes it as normal actions, such as building a car, or kneading clay. He compares hacking to things that are buildable by hand, and views creating computer programs the same way. One of the benefits of creating your own computer programs is that you can customize themn however you want. However customizing software on your own is extremely time consuming. He then goes into further detail about artificial life and how hyperspace works. Hacking bends the cyber reality that we are accustomed to, and modifying programs outside of what …

A Method To Optimize The Design Of A Power Transformer Based On Total Evaluated Cost, Pierre Feghali May 1996

A Method To Optimize The Design Of A Power Transformer Based On Total Evaluated Cost, Pierre Feghali

Master's Projects

Transformer design is primarily determined by minimizing the overall cost, including cost of materials, labor, and losses. This minimization, however, must take into account constraints which may be imposed on the transferred power, the impedance, the flux density, the overall height of the tank, etc. Since cost and constraints are generally non-linear functions of the design variables, a non-linear constrained optimization method is required. Several such methods were examined. The one which appears to be best suited to this problem was developed. It is then applied to transformer design, considering for simplicity only major cost components and constraints. An interface …

SWITCH

The article is an excerpt from Rucker’s book “The Happy Mutant”. It begins with his reflection of his career with GoMotion. He discusses the relation that he saw between design and cyberspace. Later he discusses his experience with a game a colleague found on the net: a virtual world where player is an ant. He talks about the struggles he goes through in this virtual world because of game difficulty and poor visuals. He ties it all in with how the Silicon Valley works in a similar way, and is filled with hackers and programers all needing each other to …

Gnarled Defined, Rudy Rucker May 1996

Gnarled Defined, Rudy Rucker

SWITCH

The article is a reflection of the author’s conception of the term ‘gnarly’, extending the term’s meaning from its origins in California surfer slang. 'Gnarly' is often used in a colloquial context, however, the author believes that the term is able to be used in an academic field as it pertains to outcomes and results of equations. Discussions towards the application of the term 'gnarly' showcase how it can be used in a scientific, mathematical, and artistic context through seemingly random patterns. In order to be gnarly, things must lie and exist between the realm of orderly and chaotic often …

This article explains the difference between digital worms, digital virus, and a fungus in the digital realm. A virus tends to be malicious towards our machines and replicates itself just like how it does in our real counterpart. A worm tends to just keep to itself and mind it's own business in a sense.The author goes in more depth on the topic of what a digital fungus’ purpose is within the digital realm. Just as fungi tend to branch out and live off of other living things in the physical world, this metaphor is extended into the digital realm. Digital …

How I Got Gnarly, Rudy Rucker May 1996

How I Got Gnarly, Rudy Rucker

SWITCH

The article describes how Rudy Rucker’s curious interest in celluar automata led to his career in mathematical computer science at San José State University. After conducting interviews on the theory of cellular automata as a freelance writer, he felt compelled to be involved in this great intellectual revolution in computer-aided experimental mathematics. Committed to reinventing himself, Rucker's interactions with mathematicians inspired him to write “Mind Tools”, a book that surveys mathematics from the standpoint that is information. After publishing his book, in 1987, he was eventually offered a position at SJSU in the Mathematics and Computer Science department. With assistance …

Improved Temperature Controlled Condensation Nucleus Counter For Particulate Monitoring In A Clean Environment, Craig Allen Scheer Apr 1996

Improved Temperature Controlled Condensation Nucleus Counter For Particulate Monitoring In A Clean Environment, Craig Allen Scheer

Master's Projects

Particulate monitoring in a clean environment is crucial to semiconductor fabrication facilities. The determination of particle count and size is necessary to find and eliminate the source of contamination. A method of counting particles is a Condensation Nucleus Counter (CNC). The problem with a factory built CNC is that its control mechanism is not sufficient for accurate particle counting. As the differential temperature between the condenser and saturator changes, so does the counting efficiency. A newly developed control algorithm has been implemented and can hold the temperature to ±0.1 ° C versus the factory control which has only ±1.5° C …
