Abstract: Mass production processes of printed circuit boards (PCBs) are interrupted due to problems caused by soldering defects during the assembly of surface-mounted semiconductor electronics ...

Soldering to a PC board can be tricky: Too much heat can make the copper trace lift right off the board substrate. Use a soldering pencil rated at 15-25 watts, no more. (Watch the video; story ...

This repository presents a novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach to synthesize analog circuits that match a given frequency response. The goal is to automate the design process of analog circuits ...

I've got a Bosch dishwasher that, like many Bosch dishwashers loves to melt the solder off the heater relay and requires repair every 12-18 months. (Bosch dishwasher engineers are completely ...

Abstract: In order to avoid failures and quality problems caused by welding defects, PCB solder joint inspection has become a crucial step in the production and manufacturing of electronic products.
