By the addition of finite element analysis (FEA), the product’s fragility can be obtained in the initial stages of product design with material characterization and simulation. FEA can predict Gs on the product as well as examine the strains, which interpret product failure more easily in the design stage. To incorporate FEA, first the foam material was measured at various strain rates under compression. Next a shipping package containing an Al block with consistent density was dropped at different heights—610 mm (24”), 915 mm (36”), and 1067 mm (42”)—to confirm the methodology. An I/O book was packaged for the final demonstration incorporating FEA with an electronic card package. In an electronic card package, the electronic assemblies are sensitive to strains on the system board. If the strains on the board are high, the assemblies’ solder connections to the board could be damaged and result in a defect during shipment. The simulations’ predicted Gs and board strains were compared to experimental drop testing results at 610 mm (24”) and 915 mm (36”). The simulation results for each sensor location were within reasonable approximation of the experimental results, verifying that FEA could be used in the initial design stages to predict the accelerations and strains for packaging development in parallel to the product design.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44200989","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}

{"title":"Strategies for the Control of Visible Particles in Sterile Devices","authors":"Dilip Ashtekar","doi":"10.17764/1557-2196-64.1.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17764/1557-2196-64.1.1","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Currently, limited guidance is available for the contamination control of visible particles for the manufacture of sterile devices; thus, a comprehensive guidance is warranted. Sterile devices require stringent control of visible particulates to ensure proper functionality, performance assurance of sterility, reliability, patient safety, efficacy, and product quality. This paper outlines practical and science-based strategies to prevent/minimize visible particle contamination from non-process related extrinsic and process related intrinsic sources. Witness plates are proposed as a comprehensive strategy for the real time detection of visible particles, sources of extrinsic and intrinsic visible particles, and methods to identify particle types. Implementing the control measures described herein, which include air ionization units for the control and neutralization of static charges, would maximize device yield and quality, thus reducing rework and leading to increased profitability. Installing validated air ionization systems at appropriate manufacturing and processing locations, storage, product transfer areas, and gown-up rooms can significantly reduce visible particle contamination accumulation, dispersion, and yield losses. Implementing effective material transfer practices can further minimize the risk of introduction of unwanted particles and particle dispersion within classified areas. Also described are additional control measures, such as material systems and supply chain controls, good facility design, gowning practices, manufacturing equipment and tool controls, and manual visual inspections which would further contribute to the overall reduction of particle burden. Crucial elements of an effective particle removal process are the dry and wet cleaning processes and the facility surveillance program. Process-product-particle traceability matrices can serve as effective tools to promptly identify trends and reduce device conformity defects. For this paper, the meaning of the term particle only includes particulates and particulate matter. Microbial contamination control approaches, including facility decontamination, are outside the scope of this paper.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45487555","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}

Steinwolf","doi":"10.17764/1557-2196-63.1.21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17764/1557-2196-63.1.21","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The fatigue damage spectrum (FDS) model characterizes how the damage potential is distributed over the excitation frequency range, similarly to how the power spectral density (PSD) characterizes the distribution of the excitation level. However, reproducing the operational PSD during in-house shaker testing does not necessarily mean that the FDS would be also reproduced because some unusually distinctive peaks, higher than those in a signal generated from the PSD, occur in vibrations of automobiles and railway vehicles. Presence of these peaks in real operational vibrations and their absence in the PSD-based random testing is the reason why the shaker testing FDS obtained by the ordinary PSD control is different in shape and usually lies below the operational FDS. It is shown in this paper that the FDS shape as a function of frequency can be controlled by manipulating some of the IFFT phases instead of making all of them random. Since the phase manipulation does not affect the excitation PSD, the FDS and the PSD can be controlled simultaneously, which is demonstrated for an example of operational vibrations of an automobile. This new concept of shaker testing with the PSD+FDS control can also be used for accelerated testing when the FDS target needs to be artificially increased. It can be done without scaling up the PSD, thereby avoiding concerns about the test exaggeration factor being too high.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":"63 1","pages":"21-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43194490","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}

Qualitatively, reflective surfaces and witness mirrors are continuously inspected for the visible presence of molecular contaminant films. Quantitatively, periodic reflectance measurements of witness mirrors indicate changes of mirror reflectivity over time due to the accumulation of molecular contaminant films. However, both methods only consider the presence of a contaminant film and not the molecular composition. Additionally, there is a risk that hardware may appear to be “visibly clean” even with a molecular contaminant film present on critical surfaces. To address these issues, experiments were performed to quantify the maximum molecular contaminant film that could be missed in visual inspections on witness mirrors with five different contaminants present. The corresponding changes in mirror reflectivity were modeled using the program STACK to determine the impact to space mission hardware performance. The results of this study not only show the criticality in considering the chemical make-up of molecular contaminant films on system performance, but also the need to recognize and understand the limitations of traditional visual inspection techniques on detecting molecular contaminant films.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45765837","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 work, we aim to establish a systematic comparison between different sensors widely used in conjunction with the Arduino platform, such as the DS18b20, DHT11, BMP180, and BME280 sensors. Laboratory and field trials were performed to determine linearity, accuracy, precision, resolution, response times, and response to loss of power. The results indicate that these devices, despite having a very low cost, can provide relatively reliable information, taking into account their manufacturing characteristics and the specific use required.

Portions of the methods in ISO 14644-3 were adapted from IEST-RP-CC034.4[Schaumburg, Illinois, US: Institute of Environmental Science and Technology], which provides a set of recommended procedures for leak testing HEPA and ULPA filters in situ (in the field) with the aerosol photometer test method and the light scattering airborne particle counter (LSAPC) test method. Leak testing is performed to confirm that the final high efficiency air filter system is properly installed by verifying the absence of bypass leakage in the installation, and that the filters are free of defects (small holes and other damage in the filter medium, frame, seal and leaks in the filter bank framework). This study was conducted to compare the aerosol photometer and LSAPC methods. Testing in the study consisted of creating artificial leaks in the filter system, measuring the upstream and downstream concentrations with the aerosol photometer and with the LSAPC, and comparing the filter leak penetration results. Comparison testing was applied to the procedure for the installed terminal panel filter system leakage scan test (stationary measurement) and the procedure for evaluating overall leakage of high-airflow box-type filters mounted in a duct or air-handling unit (AHU) (overall leakage test). It was found that the aerosol photometer and the LSAPC gave similar results for filter leakage within experimental error. The comparison of the leakage scan tests (stationary measurement) showed that the penetration calculated for the channel ≥ 0.3 μm of the LSAPC with an air flow rate of 1cu ft/min (CFM) (28.3 l/min) was very similar to the penetration measured with the aerosol photometer for a leakage level >0.01 % of the upstream concentration. The comparison result of the overall leakage test showed that overall total penetration values, obtained after dilution of artificial calibrated leaks in the filter media, were identical, within the measurement uncertainty, for particles ≥0.3 μm whether the sampling rate of the LSAPC was 1 CFM (28.3 l/min) or 50 l/min. Several recommendations are provided. In particular, for filters mounted in a duct or AHU where the filter function is critical, the recommended method is the leakage scan test method, using a grid sampling method in a plane downstream of the filter (as agreed between customer and supplier).","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":"63 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67782593","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}
