چکیده

This paper reviews the possible causes and effects for no-fault-found observations and intermittent failures in electronic products and summarizes them into cause and effect diagrams. Several types of intermittent hardware failures of electronic assemblies are investigated, and their characteristics and mechanisms are explored. One solder joint intermittent failure case study is presented. The paper then discusses when no-fault-found observations should be considered as failures. Guidelines for assessment of intermittent failures are then provided in the discussion and conclusions. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Evaluating Multipath TCP Resilience against Link Failures

Standard TCP is the de facto reliable transfer protocol for the Internet. It is designed to establish a reliable connection using only a single network interface. However, standard TCP with single interfacing performs poorly due to intermittent node connectivity. This requires the re-establishment of connections as the IP addresses change. Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) has emerged to utilize multiple ...

Diagnosis of Multiple Faults in a Nationwide Communications Network

The Network Diagnostic System (NDS) is an ARBY based expert system for fault isolation in a nationwide communications network (COMNET). Due to both the structure and function of the network, failures in COMNET are often multiple component failures (either dependent or independent) or intermittent failures. The maintenance procedure for isolating and correcting faults in COMNET exploits multiple...

Functional process adjustments to reduce No - Fault - Found product failures in service caused by in - tolerance faults

This paper presents a methodology to determine optimal process adjustments, which prevents manufacturing products from falling into in-tolerance fault regions (a subset of No-Fault-Found events) taking into consideration product and process adjustments constraints. The proposed methodology utilizes the design relationship between KPCs and KCCs to determine process functional adjustments. The me...

Robust diagnosability of discrete event systems subject to intermittent sensor failures

The modeling of physical systems using discrete event models assumes that a set of sensors always report the event occurrences correctly. However, bad sensor operation can result in loss of observability of the events associated with the malfunctioning sensors. If one or more sensors fail, it may be possible that either the diagnoser stands still or provide wrong information on the fault occurr...

A health indicator method for degradation detection of electronic products

A methodology for detecting the gradual health degradation of electronic products is presented by defining a health indicator to represent a product’s health state in a time interval. A health indicator is defined as the weighted sum of a histogram bin’s fractional contribution in a time interval that is based on the data collection rate, the likelihood of change in a product’s performance, and...
