In this paper is presented a novel implementation approach that relies on the use of optical fiber connection for data transmission between a remote data acquisition board and the PC. The improved data acquisition platform is realized around the PIC 16F877 microcontroller and uses a set of optical transmitters and receivers that ensures the electro-optical conversion of the signals. The communication is bidirectional. The use of fiber optic link for communication with the remote data acquisition board offers the advantages of a very high transmission rate, very good galvanic insulation between the remote acquisition module and the processing computer and also total immunity against the electrical interferences and spurious signals that might affect the measurements. In the practical realized prototype it was used common commercially available fiber-optic components and for this reason the speed was little bit sacrificed in order to obtain a reduced cost of the system. But using optical transceivers and receivers with higher speed, the overall performances of the data acquisition system can be improved. Also, by minor changes the proposed system can be extended in order to acquire the signals from more then one channel","PeriodicalId":215102,"journal":{"name":"2009 15th International Symposium for Design and Technology of Electronics Packages (SIITME)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132015617","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 our experiment we have investigated the deformation properties of stencils. The load-strain curve of a 125 ¿m thick stainless steel stencil was measured on nine locations. By the deformation experiments, the FEM (Finite Element Method) model of the stencil was created. With FEM simulations, the minimum technological distances (distance between artifacts and solder pads) for a range of step heights (difference between artifact height and pad height) and for different stencil thicknesses were determined. With the adherence to this technological distance, the stencil can bend down to the pad, and the proper amount of solder paste can be deposited onto the pad.","PeriodicalId":215102,"journal":{"name":"2009 15th International Symposium for Design and Technology of Electronics Packages (SIITME)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132326579","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 work strategy was the structural simulation of the considered materials: La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba or A = Li, Na, K and Rb), with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4, respectively 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Materials are characterized by colossal magnetoresistance and consequently present one or two peaks in the electrical resistivity versus temperature plots. Peaks are shifting slightly with the applied magnetic field intensity and also with frequency after an high-pass filter law. The frequency dependence of the material resistivity above TCurie illustrates the resistivity peaks and indicates the influence of the electromagnetic field variations on the electrical conduction mechanism inside the materials. The link between structure, field and properties was evidenced in this case, using the features and advantages of our simulation method.","PeriodicalId":215102,"journal":{"name":"2009 15th International Symposium for Design and Technology of Electronics Packages (SIITME)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121558704","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 accuracy is achieved using and ordinary 12bit SAR ADC from the MCU with special signal processing inside of the DSP, digital filtering and avoiding active circuits between the sensors and ADC. The main element will be the ADC and DSP able to give accuracy comparable with high performance external ADCs. This way the system is able to give accurate results so the trajectory can be reconstructed by integrating the speed or acceleration information. The developed module is able to give information from 10 sensors: 6 are from the triaxial accelerometer and three gyros needed to measure all moving degrees of freedom.

The idea was to control the power dissipated in the heating element, one power resistor, by controlling the state of a switch instead of switching more power resistors. For 100% power dissipation the switch will be always ON, while for a lower power the switch will be closed from time to time by a microcontroller. During switching AC mains noise is produced that is dependant of the AC sinus at the actual switching point. To bring noise at its lowest value the switching should occur at 0 volt amplitude. This happens when sinus is “zero crossing” which is accomplished by using a zero-cross power opto-triac. The feedback is closed by a current transformer and an analog-to-digital convertor, constituted by the built-in feature of the microcontroller. The whole algorithm of control resides in a master microcontroller supervising all three parameters, which communicates with the electronic modules on SPI bus.","PeriodicalId":215102,"journal":{"name":"2009 15th International Symposium for Design and Technology of Electronics Packages (SIITME)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133495798","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}
