## EDTO vs ETOPS

- EDTO
- Affects all aircraft
- Alternates Aerodromes
- Threshold 90 mins
- Range circles 410nm - 60mins, 800nm-120mins.
- Same weather holding requirements
- Window of suitability buffer not applicable

## EDTO Rules

- EDTO operations rules provided under
- ICAO annex 6
- CAO 82.0

## Aeroplane Eligibility for EDTO

- EDTO approval eligible - must have EDTO type design approval in:
- Flight Manual or supp or
- Type Cert. Data Sheet or Supp Type Cert.

## Threshold Time

- More than 19 passengers or max payload capacity exceeds 3410kg:
- twin engine – 90 minutes; or
- more than 2 engines – 180 mins

## Route Distance Limitations

- Piston-engined aeroplanes
- MTOW exceeds 5700 Kg
- Engaged in charter or regular public transport
- Limited route
- no point > 60 mins
- 1 eng inoperative cruise speed
- from adequate aerodrome

## Slide 8

## Adequate  Aerodrome

- CAO 82.0
- Physical requirements
- Provides facilities and services for type
- meteorological forecasts
- authorised instrument approach

## EDTO Alternate Aerodrome

- adequate aerodrome listed in AOC holder’s EDTO safety operational specifications
- inside Australian territory
- outside Australian territory

## ETP Critical Fuel Scenario

- CAO 82.0 s6.1
- EDTO flight cannot depart unless fuelled to cover most limiting scenario

## Progress in understanding flatness measurements

- Tom Diehl    November 24, 2005

- Draft as of 11/24/05

## Micro-Epsilon Opto-NCDT 2400

- We need to control the flatness of the focal plane.
- We need to measure components without touching their surfaces.
- Using a DEMO version Jim Fast determined that this device could measure the distance to the surface of a CCD mounted in the test dewar through the dewar’s quartz window.
- 100 micron spot diameter
- 24 mm measurement range at 222 mm distance
- ~1 micron resolution

## Micro-Epsilon Opto-NCDT 2400

## The Machinery

- Labview controls

- X and Y dimension
- Stages w/ ~1 micron precision
- On the scale of our devices

- Micro-epsilon
- imager

- Sample

## Silicon on a pedestal

- Example of a 1⁄4 mm x 1⁄4 mm scan of a part with very reflective surface. Non-flat surface features are evident.

## Silicon Piece 6 cm x 3 cm

- Glued to aluminum nitride substrate
- Taped to a piece of unistrut. The device overlaps the unistrut by ~ 1 cm on each side.
- Surface has observable grind marks from a thinning process.

## 2 Imagesof Same Device

-  1⁄2 mm x 1⁄2 mm grid
-  Offset by 0.1 mm in
- Y direction illustrates the
- problem.
-  One can see the warp in
- the surface but only **that**
- general feature matches.
- Individual points do not.

## Systematic Uncertainty

- The measurements of a point on the surface hold within about 1 micron.
- If I move off and move back on the measurement repeats.
- If I move by off by 1/10 mm, the measurement is more different than what I think is the height of the typical surface feature. Spurious reflections from the grind marks trick the system?
- A systematic unc’y is determined from 2 measurements offset by 1/10 mm.
- deltaZ=delta(Za-Zb)/sqrt(2)~15 microns

## “Greg’s Device” 6 cm x 3 cm

- Average the measurements in 1⁄2 cm x 1⁄2 cm array. The total uncertainty on mean in each of the 72 regions is ~ 1 micron.

- 13/72 regions <z> gt 10 microns

## The Plan

- A few more improvements to the Labview program
- Automation is pretty good.
- Surface feature identification and concentration is nearly done
- Bring into the CCD testing Lab
- operate through a window
- Incorporate results into the DES CCD database
- Develop a flatness grade for each CCD
- Develop a way to test the DES Focal plane assembly

## Preventing ContaminationThat Affects Flammability

- Darren Nguyen

## Outline

- Issue Description
- Background
- Statement of Concern
- Actions Taken
- Recommendations

## Issue Description:

-   The concern is that a contaminated insulation blanket might be ignited and that it would then propagate a larger fire.

## Issue Explanation

- In Service:  All airplanes get contaminated
- Two kinds of contamination:
- 1.  Special Cause:  	Over-spray of CICs
- 					Lubricants
- 2.  Common Cause:	Lint buildup
- 					Debris in bilge:
- 			        	packing labels
- 			        	newspapers
- 			       	bag tags

## Issue Explanation (continued)

- Performance of insulation blankets
- Uncontaminated insulation blankets
- Self-extinguish
- Contaminated insulation blankets
- Self-extinguish when contaminant is consumed

## Issue Explanation (continued)

- Blanket cover material type does not appear to be a driving factor in performance
- Strong function of quantity and type of contaminant, not correlated to cover material type

## PHOTO # 1

## PHOTO #2

## Background

- Boeing 767:  fire in the E6 aft Electrical Equipment area
- Boeing 747-400:  heat damage to insulation blankets, attributed to contaminants
- Lockheed L-1011:  fire below the aft cabin floor and in the cabin

## NTSB Recommends:

-   “Notify principal maintenance inspectors and operators of transport category aircraft of the fire hazard posed by accumulations of lint and other debris on wire bundles.”
- 							14 August 1991

## NTSB Recommends (continued):

-   “Require that transport category aircraft manufacturers and airlines amend maintenance manuals as necessary to ensure thorough inspection and cleaning of areas where lint and other debris may accumulate and pose a potential fire hazard.”
- 							14 August 1991

## Statement of Concern

- It is conceivable that:
- a buildup of contaminants of the sort previously mentioned in this report could occur;
- and that ignition could occur as a result of some high temperature source;
- and that a fire could result and the resulting fire could go undetected and/or not be extinguished;
- and that fire could spread to other parts of the airplane

## Actions Taken

- Revise Boeing Manuals:
- Maintenance Manual
- Structural Repair Manual
- Component Maintenance Manual
- Corrosion Prevention Manual
- Standard Overhaul Practices Manual
- Revise Maintenance Planning Data (MPD)
- Release Service Letter

## Slide 14

## Additional Actions

- Presentation at ATA/Maintenance conferences
- Publish an article
- Create Posters

## Recommendations

- Periodic inspection and cleaning to remove foreign materials
- Increasing awareness of concern

-  decked over toroid
-  slack-line scope 1.4:1
-  heavy anchor
-  sonic anemometer

## Cold dry air blowing over warm KE causes large sensible and latent heat loss.

**Cold dry air blowing over warm KE causes large sensible and latent heat loss.**

-  What is Q?
-  How does heat flux affect SST? Mode water formation? Size of recirculation gyre?
-  Do SST (KE) variations affect convection? Winds? Storm track?

## The largest sink of carbon in the North Pacific is in the Kuroshio Extension

## Asian dust storms (e.g. April 1998) 

- ...are rich in iron and other micro-nutrients. How do dust clouds affect the ocean biological pump and carbon cycle?

## KEO will be part of the global network of time series reference sites.

- Do homework anywhere
- Make up work (Videos, worksheets)
- Paam

## What do you use your Ipaq for other than what teachers make you use it for?

## Discourse

- Engages EVERY student, EVERY time!
- Students would rather be part of the discussion when using discourse since it is very non-threatening.

## Discourse in Action

## Why do you like to use Discourse rather than a traditional classroom?

## Science Probes

- Portable (the world has become our lab)
- VERY accurate data
- Excellent lab reports

## Chemistry class

## HLE

- Portfolio that brings numerous programs together.  This allows students to do multi dimensional project.
- Pico Map
- Sketchy
- Excel
- Word
- Internet sites

## Black Board

- Great tool to stimulate discussions (times have changed)
- On line reviews (Night before test)
- Great when student or teacher is absent

## What makes it work

- Administration, Tech person, teachers, and School board ALL working together.

## Do you have what it takes to make a difference??

- It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
- The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;  whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- 				-Theodore Roosevelt

## My question

- How do we get the last 10% in order to have 100% profeceint?

## American lotus  

_*Nelumbo*_ * *_*lutea*_  Willd.
- Synonyms:  _*Nelumbo*_ * *_*pentapetala*_, * *_*Nelumbium*_ * *_*luteum*_.
- Other common names;  lotus, yellow lotus, water chinquapin.

**Food:**
- Lotus was an important food source for many tribes.  The tubers and seeds were eaten in many ways.  Often freshly harvested tubers were peeled, boiled and eaten.  The tubers are about the size and shape of a small banana.  To store them for winter the tubers were peeled, cut into inch long pieces, placed on a string and dried in the sun.  The hard, nut-like seeds were pried from the large flower shell and cracked open.  The seeds can be eaten raw, but were usually mixed in with vegetables, maize or meat stews.  They were also roasted and made into a sweet meal.
**Culturally:**
- The floating flower was considered to have magical powers.  If a Ponca brave wanted to make a woman fall in love with him then he would rub some of the root on the palm of his hands.  He would then trick the girl into shaking hands with him.  If she did then within a week she would decide to marry him.
- If anything was boiled with the root it would be dyed red.  This dye was also used as a decorative skin stain.

## Impact of Taxes on U.S. Semiconductor Company  Decisions

- Paul S. Otellini
- President and Chief Operating Officer
- Intel Corporation
- March 31, 2005

## Intel Snapshot

- Founded in 1968
- World’s Largest Semiconductor Company
- ~75% of the company’s $34 billion in sales are outside the U.S.
- 80,000 employees;  60% in U.S.
- 12 of 16 factories in the U.S.
- Semiconductor manufacturing is
- R&D-intensive
-               +	BOTH HAVE TAX
- Capital-intensive	IMPLICATIONS

## U.S. Competitiveness

- Research and the location of production facilities critically affect U.S. competitiveness
- Especially as the U.S. becomes increasingly a knowledge-based economy

## Intel R & D

**~ 80% in U.S.**

## R&D Tax Credit

- R&D Tax Credit has never been permanent
- R&D planning demands a long-term view
- Short-term extensions and lapses dilute the incentive value of this credit
- Permanent R&D Tax Credit is long overdue

## Intel Capital Expenditures

**~ 70% in U.S.**

## PROBLEM: It costs $1 billion more to build and operate a chip factory in the U.S. than outside...the biggest factor is taxes.

## Wafer FAB Cost Model:  Key Assumptions & Drivers

**Cost model compares alternatives based on a 10 year NPC**
- Production starting in year 3
- Ramp with “current generation” technology products and transition to next gen products after 5 years
**What factors drive analysis ?**
- Cost differences driven by tax treatment, capital grants, other local factors
- Other local factors:  utilities, labor, logistics

**Percentage of 10 year NPC**

| --- | --- |
| ISRAEL | Up to 20% capital grant
10% tax rate – 2-year tax holiday |
| CHINA | 5-year tax holiday
After holiday, 1⁄2 normal rate for next 5 years |
| MALAYSIA | 10-year tax holiday |
| IRELAND | 12.5% corporate tax rate |

## Two thirds of new 300mm Fabs under construction, equipping, or in production are in Asia

## Potential Gap-Closers

- Rate Reduction
- Full expensing of factory in year one
- Investment Tax Credit
- Others? Combinations?

**These solutions could be targeted ****to selected industries or broad-based**
