Process window. The process window is a graph with a range of parameters for a specific manufacturing process that yields a defined result. Typically multiple parameters are plotted in such a graph with a central region where the process behaves well, while the outer borders define regions where the process becomes unstable or returns an unfavourable result. A statistical evaluation of the process performance is further performed by the calculation of the associated Process Window Index.

Applications
Typical applications are found in photolithography where the response of a photoresist to parameters like temperature, radiation intensity, critical dimension and sidewall angle of the structures, etc. are plotted versus an optical parameter such as the numerical aperture to optimize the design of an exposure tool or to achieve a reproducible result and high yield.

Electronics cooling. Electronics cooling encompasses thermal design, analysis and experimental characterization of electronic systems as a discrete discipline with the product creation process for an electronics product, or an electronics sub-system within a product (e.g. an engine control unit (ECU) for a car). On-line sources of information are available and a number of books have been published on this topic.

Computer cooling is a sub-topic. Heat sinks are devices that are used to extend the surface area of electronic components available for air cooling, helping to lower the components case temperature. Fans are used to increase the air flow.

Thermal design and analysis is performed using hand calculations or spreadsheets, based on design rules or heat transfer correlations. Computer-aided engineering tools such as computational fluid dynamics are also used.

Active electronics cooling

Besides passive heat conduction, active cooling consuming electricity can be achieved through the thermoelectric coolers.

When electrical voltage is added to an n-type (p-type) semiconductor material, the electric filed will drive electrons (holes) from one end to the other, which will also carry the electronic kinetic energy and entropy. A temperature gradient will be finally built up to balance the driven force of electrical field. This is called the Peltier effect, and the refrigeration or cooling device made based on this effect is called the Peltier cooler. One Peltier cooler is at least consisted of one n-leg and one p-leg, which is also called a Peltier junction. Although, Peltier coolers are generally only around 10-15% as efficient as a reversed Carnot cycle, or as 40–60% efficient as a vapor-compression cycle, it may be the only choice for applications in some special scenarios, including electronics on satellites, in submarines, and at an extremely compact space, due to their solid state nature, low maintenance need, compact size and noise-free operation.

Multiple Peltier junctions, taking care of each specific temperature window, can usually be stacked to further enhance the overall performance on electronics cooling. As active heat pumps which consume power, thermoelectric coolers can produce temperatures below ambient, which is impossible with passive heatsinks, radiator-cooled liquid cooling, or heatpipe HSFs. However, while pumping heat, a Peltier module will typically consume more electric power than the heat amount being pumped.

Maritime Monitoring and Messaging Microsatellite. The Maritime Monitoring and Messaging Microsatellite (M3MSat) is a tele-detection satellite developed by the Canadian Space Agency and launched in 2016. Its mission is to demonstrate and test the technology to assess the utility of having in space an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for reading signals from vessels to better manage marine transport in Canadian waters. The system will be supported by an instrument called a Low Data Rate Service (LDRS), which transmits AIS messages to ground sensors.

Objectives
The M3MSat microsatellite will be used to receive and locate digital signals transmitted by vessels. This data will be sent to ground stations to then be relayed to operators for Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC).  This will make it possible to identify and record marine traffic, know vessels' direction, cruising speed, and ensure that they navigate legally and safely in Canadian waters.

Canada's Department of National Defence has granted a licence to exactEarth to commercialize the AIS data collected from M3MSat and integrate it with the data collected from the rest of the exactEarth constellation.

Payload
M3MSat is a tele-detection satellite, and its mission is to demonstrate and test the technology of three instruments:
Automatic Identification System (AIS) — will make it possible to detect signals from ships and thus know the locations of ships travelling in Canadian waters.
 Low Data Rate Service (LDRS), which will receive low-speed AIS data from boats in Canadian waters and retransmit that data to control centers located in the east and west of the country, ensuring coordination and retransmission of information collected on marine traffic. This will enable the collection of data on marine traffic in remote areas where there is no data streaming infrastructure.
Dielectric Deep Charge Monitor (DDCM),  accumulated electrostatic charge in satellites' dielectric (non-conductive) material and gain insight on their level of functionality. This information will help extend the lifetime of Earth-orbiting satellites.

IEC 62061. IEC/EN 62061, ”Safety of machinery: Functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems”, is the machinery specific implementation of  IEC/EN 61508. It provides requirements that are applicable to the system level design of all types of machinery safety-related electrical control systems and also for the design of non-complex subsystems or devices.

The risk assessment results in a risk reduction strategy which in turn, identifies the need for safety-related control functions. These functions must be documented and must include:
 Functional requirements specification
 Safety integrity requirements specification

The functional requirements include details like frequency of operation, required response time, operating modes, duty cycles, operating environment, and fault reaction functions. The safety integrity requirements are expressed in levels called safety integrity level (SIL). Depending on the complexity of the system, some or all of the elements in Table 14 must be considered to determine whether the system design meets the required SIL.

Shwe Taung Group. Shwe Taung Group of Companies (; Shwe Taung Group) is a Myanmar conglomerate. It has a large construction and engineering arm and is the parent company of a cement business in Myanmar. It also own Octagon International Service Trading which is the importer of machinery and construction vehicles.

Shwe Taung Group was formerly known as Olympic Construction Company, and was renamed Shwe Taung Group in 2004 after the banking scandal, money laundering accusation and drug links against the affiliated Asia Wealth Bank by the US department of Treasury and the bank's subsequent sanction in 2003 by the US Government and closure by the Government of Myanmar.

Suspected money laundering and drug links
As recent as 2007, the US continue to suspect Shwe Taung Group (formerly Olympic Construction Group) of laundering drug money, as evident by the leaked US embassy cable exposed by wiki-leaks. Law enforcement agencies continue to suspect Shwe Taung group chairman, Aik Htun, close ties to the drug traffickers and the "rich investors" behind Shwe Taung Group is questionable with some claiming Aik Htun is just a "front man" for various parties.

Key figures

The Chairman of Shwe Taung Group is Aik Htun, also spelt Eike Htun, while his son, Aung Zaw Naing, is Managing Director.

( ; variously spelt Eik Tun, Eike Htun, and Aik Tun) is a prominent Burmese businessman, best known as the managing director and vice chairman of the sister company of Olympic Construction company, the Asia Wealth Bank, which was Burma's largest private bank until the banking crisis of 2003. The US Secretary of Treasury also designated Asia Wealth Bank as financial institutions of primary money laundering concern  and the department report notes that the Asia Wealth bank have been linked to narcotics trafficking organizations in Southeast Asia. This findings by the US treasury is only rescinded the against the bank as the results of the revocation of the bank licenses by the government of Myanmar, not because of remedial actions by the bank.

Tubing spider. A Tubing spider is a tool used primarily in the oil industry for gripping the drill string while assembling or reassembling parts of the string.

The spider is normally operated hydraulically from a remote location. The spider consists of multiple gripper tools, sometimes constructed as wedge-shaped arms (Slips (oil drilling)) that holds the string by the downward force of the pipe. Teeth on the inside of the slips grip the pipe, and the resulting compressive force inward on the drill pipe holds the pipe securely.

Slips (oil drilling). Slips is a device used to grip and hold the upper part of a drill string to the drill floor on an oil rig. The slips are constructed as a collection of metal wedges, hinged together to form a circular shape around the drill pipe. On the inside surface, the slips normally has replaceable steel teeth that grips the pipe. The outsides of the slips are tapered and meets a similar taper on the drill floor. Usually the pipe goes through a Rotary table - machinery that makes the pipe rotate.

After the slips is placed around the drill pipe, it is lowered so that the teeth on the inside grip the pipe and the slips are pulled down. The wedges then holds the drill pipe by the compressive force.

After work is completed, the drill string is raised, thereby unlocking the gripping action. The slips are then lifted away.
