Abstract One method to produce electronic systems with high resilience is the encapsulation of metal inserts, for example, lead frames, using assembly injection molding. Such parts are exposed to different mediums, such as water and oil, which can infiltrate and damage the electronic system, especially in automotive applications. Hence, one challenge is to ensure the tightness. The research covered in this paper focuses on the assembly injection molding of tight electronic systems using microstructured metal inserts, manufactured by a two-stage electrochemical treatment. The effects of the electrochemical treatment on the tightness and the bond between metal and polymer of the electronic system are investigated. Furthermore, the influence of the electrochemical treatment on the surface and geometry of the metal insert is evaluated.

An experimental investigation is made of the thermal interaction between a horizontal isothermal cylinder centrally located in a water-cooled isothermal cubical enclosure. The study is restricted to laminar flow and cylinder Rayleigh numbers of order 104. The application of interest is the cooling of electronic systems. This field is currently lacking in techniques that can measure the complex fluid phenomena encountered in real systems. The paper therefore begins with an experimental review of interferometry to assess its applicability as a potential solution to this need. Based on this review, a real time Digital Moire´ Subtraction interferometer is used to measure temperature profiles, and local Nusselt number distributions in two regions of interest: the plume impingement on the ceiling of the enclosure, and the upper corner region of the enclosure. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used for the cylinder Nusselt number distribution. Results are compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with a numerical simulation run on a commercial CFD package widely used for electronic system temperature predictions. The paper gives considerable insight into the nature of the enclosure heat transfer and an indication of the accuracy of a widely used predictive code.

Electronic systems designed to improvise with a live instrumental performer are a constant mediation of musical language and artificial decision-making. Often these systems are designed to elicit a reaction in a very broad way, relying on segmenting and playing back audio material according to a fixed or mobile set of rules or analysis. As a result, such systems can produce an outcome that sounds generic across different improvisers, or restrict meaningful electroacoustic improvisation to those performers with a matching capacity for designing improvisatory electroacoustic processing. This article documents the development of an improvisatory electroacoustic instrument for pianist Maria Donohue as a collaborative process for music-making. The Donohue+ program is a bespoke electroacoustic improvisatory system designed to augment the performance capabilities of Maria, enabling her to achieve new possibilities in live performance. Through the process of development, Maria’s performative style, within the broader context of free improvisation, was analysed and used to design an interactive electronic system. The end result of this process is a meaningful augmentation of the piano in accordance with Maria’s creative practice, differing significantly from other improvising electroacoustic instruments she has previously experimented with. Through the process of development, Donohue+ identifies a practice for instrument design that engages not only with a performer’s musical materials but also with a broader free improvisation aesthetic.

Safety level is the key input to the development process and assurance process of airborne electronic system, and is influenced by both the safety effect and the architecture used. The paper focuses on the determination of principle how the architectures influence the level assignment. The relationship between system safety objectives and assurance process was discussed; six architectures were studied in aspects of capability of common error limitation, and the concept of independence was introduced to characterize the architectures. The method to assign levels considering architectures influence was proposed using architecture independence concept, and a yaw damper system was studied for assurance level assignment to verify the principal.
