rant: the reliability of technology vs. human error
i realize that computers could be more reliable. i’m the last person on earth who would want an it job… i totally respect those guys. i understand that sometimes, you tell a computer to do something, and it chooses to do something …
Solder joints are ubiquitous in electronic consumer products. The European Union has a directive to ban the use of Pb-based solders in these products on July 1st, 2006. There is an urgent need for an increase in the research and development of Pb-free solders in electronic manufacturing. For example, spontaneous Sn whisker growth and electromigration induced failure in solder joints are serious issues. These reliability issues are quite complicated due to the combined effect of electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal forces on solder joints. To improve solder joint reliability, the science of solder joint behavior under various driving forces must be understood. In this book, the advanced materials reliability issues related to copper-tin reaction and electromigration in solder joints are emphasized and methods to prevent these reliability problems are discussed.

A compilation of data from a wide variety of sources, this book eliminates the need to pick through journal articles, online databases, and conference proceedings to obtain information. The authors discuss medical device maintenance, human error reporting systems and models for predicting human reliability and error, patient safety, quality methods, and steps for improving quality in healthcare. Highlights include a chapter on mathematical concepts and another chapter containing introductory material on reliability technology, human error, and quality considered essential to understanding materials presented in subsequent chapters. The book contains examples, their solutions, and end-of-chapter problems.
Uses four distributions to determine component reliability and confidence limits. Expands on the bathtub analysis to include two limits: design requirements and repair and maintenance. Shows the derivation the single-term binomial formula from basic probability theory.
