The present paper presents a Spice model of EDLC with self discharge behavior, a designed and implemented test bench for the study of self discharge of EDLC devices and some measurements performed with it as well as the adjustment of Spice model to meet the measured parameters of different types of EDLC devices.","PeriodicalId":138347,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 23rd International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125212235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scheduling of the PCB manufacturing line is modelled by the flow-shop scheduling problem in our method. The basic aim is to shorten the computational time of the optimization while getting a lower value for the overall makespan. Three different methods are proposed in this paper, which are based on the different initialization of the optimization algorithm. The first contains a heuristic approximation technique pre-optimizing the input data. A starting schedule is provided with a constructive and quick method (i.e. DR (dispatching rule)), before starting the calculation of the actual scheduling. In the next case we focus on tuning the optimization algorithm. Different abilities like search control of the IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio's FDS (Failure-Directed Search) algorithm were examined. Former, valid production plans are used for re-initializing the algorithm run to shorten the required computational time during optimization in another approach described in the paper in details.","PeriodicalId":138347,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 23rd International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117261837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, power distribution in systems that combine both power and signal PCB layout must be taken care of considering design constraints. Nevertheless, the use of either toroid or planar transformer in a high density PCB systems may amount to optimal power requirements. This article provides a comparative simulation study of the toroidal and EI magnetic cores considering that both models have the same material specifications (3F4). Although it is known that the toroid geometry leads to low flux losses it is of interest to determine the magnitude of emissions and how complex becomes maintaining the integrity of the signal lines in the vicinity of the core. Two models have been analyzed, first representing a TX36 toroid and the second one a model used in a previous work.","PeriodicalId":138347,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 23rd International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125671222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This device acts as an inverse USB hub because it distributes information from a single data source to multiple end-devices. The Universal Serial Bus specifications do not make any provisions for multicast data distribution. The advantage of the system consists in simplifying the transmission process by decreasing the number of devices used in distribution and thus reducing the potential for errors as well as gaining valuable production time by parallelizing an otherwise sequential process. The purpose is to reduce the number of barcode scanners needed to input one product into multiple systems. Considering the fact that almost every scanner works in Human Interface Device mode, the system can be tested using a regular keyboard. The input should appear duplicated on each connected PC. The device will have an USB type A input and two USB type B outputs. The project consists of building and configuring such a splitting device.","PeriodicalId":138347,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 23rd International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131076462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
