Engineers have long used thermal-cycle testing determine the reliability of PWBs (printed wire boards). Traditionally, engineers have used thermal-cycling ovens, liquid to liquid and fluidized sand, ...

The Washington-based Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), Washington recently completed a potential multimaterial 2D/3D sorting test method, “Evaluation of the 2D/3D Sorting Potential of a Whole ...

There are a multitude of available test procedures and methods for water and wastewater treatment operators. They range from colorimetric, titrimetric, electrometric (meter & probe), turbimetric, ...

An international research group has proposed a low-cost testing methodology for solar water pumping systems that can reportedly improve water access in developing countries. The novel approach enables ...

Traditional IC pattern-generation methods focus on detectingdefects at gate terminals or at interconnects. Unfortunately, a significantpopulation of defects may occur within an IC's gates, or cells.

Scientists have discovered a novel low-cost method of testing for cancers. Called the Heatrich-BS assay, this new test sequences clinical samples that have been heated in order to isolate ...
