Corrosion of complex electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem, causing expensive damage. Corrosion occurs through out the entire life cycle during different stages of manufacturing, assembly, transport and storage of components and assemblies and during field operations of the equipment. Presence of moisture, chloride, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other airborne corrosi...

In this paper we show how it is possible to reuse optical supports (CDs, DVDs, etc.) without using chemical or physical transformation, only employing a software that can easily run on domestic computers. This software can make obsolete optical supports useful again, converting de facto WEEE (Waste electric and electronic equipment) into EEE (Electric and electronic equipment). A massive use of...

Today, the equipment of electronic communication networks (EECN) consists two interconnected components. The first is hardware, second software, normal functioning each which depends on network in general. One main concepts characterizing network's ability to perform tasks as intended functional safety (FS). This concept similar reliability, but differs mainly that context all possible failure ...

This paper presents an analysis of the impacts of electronic commerce on proactive firms in the connectivity equipment industry. Electronic commerce initiatives identified in the optical connectivity value chain were analyzed for each of the four layers of the chain namely network operators, system integrators, assemblers and sub-assemblers. In this industry, electronic commerce has been and wi...
