Experiences from reliability testing of aircraft electronic equipment

The IEEE standards on reliability program and reliability prediction methods for electronic equipment

Reliability is the ability of a part or product to perform as intended (i.e., without failure and within specified performance limits) for a specified time, in its life cycle application environment. Reliability specification and demonstration is an activity between customers and suppliers. In the absence of proper procedure, this activity may not meet the customer requirements and product need...

Reliability Assessment of Telecommunications Equipment

This thesis studies the reliability of telecommunications equipment, its components, and the systems made using those components. Special attention is paid to creating stronger links between the reliability analyses performed at different hierarchy levels. The thesis starts with a temperature derating study. It is found out that the generic handbook based procedures may not always be very attra...

64/128 slice CT System SCENARIA*, released in 2012, realizes 0.35 s/rot scans not only for cardiac scanning but also for whole body scanning with a high-speed data sampling technique and CORE method (3D reconstruction algorithm) which enables high pitch scans. Furthermore, the image noise reduction technique applied by the iterative reconstruction technology was integrated as a standard functio...

Th e aging of Japan’s population has led to rising rates of circulatory organ disease in recent years. In the circulatory disease market, use of three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal probes has been increasing year aft er year as a way of improving communication between surgeons and physicians before and aft er surgery. Th e fi rst such device from a Japanese supplier* designed to be used with...
