In quality control, an automated system based on video inspection should be able to identify different states of good or faulty PCBs. Copper tracks have complex shapes, making analyzing process more difficult. In addition, clustering techniques must deal with unwanted copper material between conductive tracks, which affects dynamic behavior of the circuit. In this paper, clustering algorithms based on potential functions are used in automated video inspection of PCBs copper tracks. Simulation results are presented for two oblong clusters of copper tracks, which are not well separated and difficult to classify. Two situations are discussed, regarding a good PCB and a faulty one, with some copper material between the tracks, which is close enough but contactless with the tracks. Potential function based algorithms (PFBA) are able to identify the complex shapes of copper tracks in good PCBs. Also, they work well in heavy classifying process of the unwanted copper clusters placed very close to conductive tracks.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131299025","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 challenge for this device is present in the fact for sending whole strings that can be interpreted by the slave device and to be able to control it as desired. Until now most of the UART chips cold be able to send 8 bits (1 Byte), which was not enough to control devices which needs at least a few Bytes of commands. The other challenge is that until now the FPGA was the slave and the PC was the master, this way the communication could be done only between the PC and the FPGA. The presented device will act now as master and will control other slave devices.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122005580","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}

Very useful products (Arduino, RasberryPi, etc) made their way in commercial market to cater such needs however they require programming skills, specific IDE's (integrated development environments) and lack compatibility with useful tools such as NI (National Instrument) LabView[1] and C#. Since these two (C# and LabView) are supposed to be widely used for their user friendliness, but unfortunately are not prioritised as a development option due to lack of supporting hardware which is either too expensive, rare or too complex. Hence in this research the data acquisition device (DAQ) has been designed and developed to provide a hassle free solution for those who choose LabView to avoid programming or programmers who want to control and observe electronic devices such as sensors/actuators as a part of their research projects. This device is connected to PC over USB and interfaces with C# and LabView using a Direct Link Library (.dll file). It can control up to 8 Digital Inputs, 8 Digital outputs, 8 Analog Inputs and 2 Analog (PWM) outputs. Moreover some Virtual Instruments such as 4 Channel Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Logic Analyzer and PID controller has also been developed in C# to cater the needs of students and researchers.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128237589","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 storage capacity in milliamperes-hour is one of the main parameters of a battery, used to determine the running time of an energy independent system. While powering some simple circuits, a shorter up-time was obtained, when the capacitor was charged at high current. Further analysis with an advanced charger showed that the charging current impacts the storage capacity: a high current led to less stored milliamperes-hour.

The monitoring system described in our paper is a general one, but it can be adapted and implemented to monitor the specific parameters of equipment utilized in various fields, such as: medicine, agriculture, energetics, chemical industry, etc. In this paper we present the development of both architecture of the device and the specific software applications for such system. Monitoring systems of analogue and digital signals with Ethernet transmission consist of Devices Analyzing Input Signals (DAIS) and sensors. The main parts of the DAIS system are: printed circuit board, equipped with an industrial microcontroller, an Ethernet transceiver, resistors, capacitors and connectors. The software running on the microcontroller is developed in ANSI C (American National Standards Institute). It includes the C and C ++ GCC compiler (GNU Compiler Collection), an assembler and a simulator that facilitates application development and testing. The alarm monitoring and control application can be run from any electronic computing device equipped with an operating system using TCP/IP and has a browser that supports Java-Script. The web application is designed for reading the values displayed by the DAIS system, interprets and show them in a format accessible to browsers. In case of detecting any errors, the application puts the device in the “Alarm List” and sends a warning sound to the dispatch staff, directly from the browser. The detailed records on DAIS system reported values are nonstop monitored and stored in a database, with the possibility of graphic display of all values up to a maximum of one year. Thus, parameters can be monitored, including main feed voltage, backup voltage, the external temperature of the equipment cabinet, internal temperature, relative humidity inside the cabinet, smoke sensor(s), the state of access door(s) to the cabinet, etc. Likewise, we sought to increase productivity and obtain an energy-efficient device that does not require maintenance, proposing a software solution for the management of processes being executed on the microcontroller, so that it is as customizable as possible using a web interface. The DAIS system is also an economical one, significantly less expensive than other systems existing on the market.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114679615","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}
