Our work discusses the tolerance modeling of an optical fiber that is inserted into a cylindrical alignment bore. We note that some commercial optical simulation software suites have the mechanical tolerance operands entered in Cartesian coordinates and if radial variation is entered as simple X and Y de-centering, there arises a kind of "corner condition" where fiber in the opto-mechanical mod...

This paper proposes a scheme for the tolerance specification that uses the features’ function information and mating condition attributes in the assembly to derive an appropriate tolerance specification as per the design intents. The proposed mirror method provides a way to locate the critical components. It helps the user identify functional features and group them into clusters. Temporary DRF...

Software process assessments have been used to verify the conformance with quality reference models or standards, usually in a context of software process improvement programs. Most of these assessments are concerned with just one specific model or standard. However, organizations could be interested in more than one model, being necessary to offer an integrated assessment that allows evaluate ...
