IPD technology was originally developed as a way to replace bulky discrete passive components, but it¡¯s now gaining popularity in ESD/EMI protection applications, as well as in RF, high-brightness LED silicon sub-mounts, and digital and mixed-signal devices. Already well known as a key enabler of system-in-packages (SiPs), IPDs enable the assembly of increasingly complete and autonomous systems with the integration of diverse electronic functions such as sensors, RF transceivers, MEMS, power amplifiers, power management units, and digital processors. The application area for IPD will continue to evolve, especially as new packaging technology, such as flipchip, 3D stacking, wafer level packaging become available to provide vertical interconnections within the IPD. New applications like silicon interposers will become increasingly significant to the market. Currently the IPD market is being driven primarily by RF or wireless packages and applications including, but not limited to, cell phones, WiFi, GPS, WiMAX, and WiBro. In particular, applications and products in the emerging RF CMOS market that require a low cost, smaller size, and high performance are driving demand. In order to get right products in size and performance, packaging design and technology should be considered in device integration and implemented together in IPD designs. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of electrical and mechanical properties in component and system level design is important. This paper will highlight some of the recent advancements in SiP technology for IPD and integration as well as what is developed to address future technology requirements in IPD SiP solutions. The advantage and applications of SiP solution for IPD will be presented with several examples of IPD products. The design, assembly and packaging challenges and performance characteristics will be also discussed.

This work presents a failure diagnosis tool for a water pump using a low-cost MEMS accelerometer. It was inserted three types of failures: rotor blade (new and damaged), pump soleplate tightness (stiff or loose), and cavitation, in this case on three conditions: none, incipient and severe, totaling twelve fault combinations. These conditions were tested under two different speeds to perform the diagnosis, totaling twenty-four tests. In all cases, the vibration signals from axes X, Y, and Z were acquired. Some features extracted from the vibration spectra from X-axis were used to compose the dataset. These data were analyzed employing logistic regression, a linear support vector machine (SVM), and an artificial neural network multilayer perceptron (ANN-MLP). We compared these three techniques of machine learning and evaluated which one was able to obtain the most accurate result. Using the ANN-MLP, the system was able to detect all three types of failures inserted, with about 100% of accuracy on the rotor blade condition, 92% for anchorage faults, and about 99% accuracy on cavitation state. As a conclusion, it is demonstrated that this classifier algorithm can be used to process the data from the low-cost MEMS accelerometer in predictive maintenance as an accurate tool.

The space information networks are easy to be disturbed and destroyed, which is due to their hostile operational environments and results in a decrease in network quality of service. Given their characteristics, a distributed topology failure diagnosis scheme composed of failure detection node election and failure diagnosis is proposed. First, a proper number of nodes are elected to detect faults in a coordinated and distributed way by using minimum dominating set algorithm. Then elected diagnosis nodes detect faults around based on the theory of dependency-graph. The technology of minimum Huffman tree is used to preliminarily locate failures and on that base the further location is fulfilled through sending detection messages on purpose. Simulation results from NS2 demonstrate that high accurate diagnosis rate can be reached at the expense of low cost by this failure diagnosis algorithm.

Metastable beta titanium alloys have been known to have numerous advantages such as cold formability, high strength, good fracture resistance, deep hardenability, and cost effectiveness. Very high strength is obtainable by precipitation of the hexagonal alpha phase in a bcc beta matrix in these alloys. Precipitation hardening in the metastable beta alloys may also result from the formation of transition phases such as omega phase. Ti-15-3 (Ti-15V- 3Cr-3Al-3Sn) has been developed recently by TIMET and USAF for low cost sheet metal applications. The purpose of the present study was to examine the aging characteristics in this alloy.The composition of the as-received material is: 14.7 V, 3.14 Cr, 3.05 Al, 2.26 Sn, and 0.145 Fe. The beta transus temperature as determined by optical metallographic method was about 770°C. Specimen coupons were prepared from a mill-annealed 1.2 mm thick sheet, and solution treated at 827°C for 2 hr in argon, then water quenched. Aging was also done in argon at temperatures ranging from 316 to 616°C for various times.

Polyethylene is one of the most important plastics produced today because of its good physical properties, ease of fabrication and low cost. Studies to improve the properties of polyethylene are leading to an understanding of its crystalline morphology. Polyethylene crystallized by evaporation from dilute solutions consists of thin crystals called lamellae. The polyethylene molecules are parallel to the thickness of the lamellae and are folded since the thickness of the lamellae is much less than the molecular length. This lamellar texture persists in less perfect form in polyethylene crystallized from the melt.Morphological studies of melt crystallized polyethylene have been limited due to the difficulty of isolating the microstructure from the bulk specimen without destroying or deforming it.
