I have enjoyed writing the Patty and the Professor blog for about 10 years now. I’ve written about numerous real-life electronics assembly examples that I have encountered in my career, all

"Como é que reduzo os meus vazios de soldadura de ligação ao molde?" é uma pergunta que me é feita frequentemente por clientes no sector dos semicondutores de potência

Within the cored solder wire industry, an increasing amount of attention is being given to the amount of spatter created during robotic and hand soldering applications. New products are being

Pessoal, já lá vai muito tempo, vamos ver a Patty e os rapazes..... Eram 5:30 da manhã e o despertador da Patty tocou. Hoje estava invulgarmente cansada por causa de uma reunião da Associação de Pais e Encarregados de Educação no passado

Folks, Outside of the walls of Indium Corporation few people likely hear the word “gallium” spoken very often. Yet, in one important way, gallium is fundamental to modern living:

Como engenheiro de suporte técnico, recebo esta pergunta com bastante frequência. Uma pré-forma de solda é uma forma sólida, plana e fabricada de solda que pode ser usada para uma ampla variedade de aplicações de montagem. Solda

Happy New Year everyone! Typically the new year signals a new beginning, but thispost will be concluding our series on reflow profilingby discussing the fourth stage of a reflow profile: the

Pessoal, há alguns anos atrás recebi o pedido abaixo: Olá Dr. Lasky, sou um reciclador de metais preciosos e gostaria muito que verificasse a validade de uma equação que aproxima o Karat

Folks, the adventures of The Professor continue……… So far the meeting with The Professor had proven very valuable John thought.He was anxious to hear the other suggestions that The

"Well what should we do Professor?" John said weakly. "Clearly, not shut the line down over the lunch break," The Professor responded quickly. "We can't!"said John,

Pessoal, durante as próximas semanas tenciono voltar a publicar alguns dos primeiros episódios de Patty e o Professor. Quando visitei várias instalações, algumas delas noutras indústrias, descobri que o tempo de funcionamento é tão vital como o tempo de vida.

Folks, I teach a course at Dartmouth on manufacturing processes: ENGM 185. In this course, I use many of the chapters from “The Adventures of Patty and the Professor.” This book started as a

Embora a Indium Corporation seja conhecida como um fornecedor de solda, é menos conhecida pela sua capacidade de reciclar solda.

Folks, It is accepted as fact by everyone that I know that 2/3rd of all SMT defects can be traced back to the stencil printing process. A number of us have tried to find a reference for this posit,

In my previous post on this topic, Stages of a Reflow Profile: Part II, I mentioned a few profile-induced soldering defects, including graping, tombstoning, and voiding. In this post,we will talk

This week we learned about an exciting new liquid metal-infused polymer, made with a gallium-indium alloy, which can be used to form circuits that heal themselves after being damaged. Today, Eric

Over the last few days we have learned about how to create stretchable electronics from gallium and indium embedded into an elastomer. Today we continue the conversation with Eric Markvicka and look

We are back again with Eric Markvicka to talk about how easy it is to form a stretchable electrical circuit with liquid metal-embedded material and some simple tools. Jim: Eric, at first blush your

Yesterday Eric Markvicka demonstrated self-healing electronics for us with his video of a liquid metal embedded elastomer. Today, we discuss a composite material that is electrically insulating until

Brook Sandy-Smith, Engenheiro de Suporte Técnico para Materiais de Montagem de PCB, e Phil Zarrow, discutem a forma como a soldadura por refluxo em vácuo pode ser utilizada para reduzir os vazios. Phil Zarrow: Brook, tem havido um

This week we will be discussing the future of self-healing electronics with Eric Markvicka of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time of writing this, Eric is a PhD Student working on his thesis:
