Practical extensions to the level of repair analysis [PDF]
The level of repair analysis (lora) gives answers to three questions that are posed when deciding on how to maintain capital goods: 1) which components to repair upon failure and which to discard, 2) at which locations in the repair network to perform ...

Breakdown modes of capacitively coupled plasma II: unsustainable discharges [PDF]
In this work, the one-dimensional implicit particle-in-cell/Monte-Carlo collision code (PIC/MCC) is used to study the discharge of a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) under extremely low pressure driven by high-frequency rf power in pure argon. With the introduction of high-coefficient electron-induced secondary electron emission (ESEE) and a blocking ...

Predicting Time-to-Failure of Plasma Etching Equipment using Machine Learning [PDF]
Predicting unscheduled breakdowns of plasma etching equipment can reduce maintenance costs and production losses in the semiconductor industry. However, plasma etching is a complex procedure and it is hard to capture all relevant equipment properties and behaviors in a single physical model.

Critical failures in the use of home ventilation medical equipment [PDF]
Home ventilation involves the use of medical devices at patient's home by personnel who are not healthcare practitioners. This implies new potential risks not fully addressed by current standards and guidelines. A methodological approach to investigate potential failures and define improvement actions to address the dangerous potential situations in HV
