Learning from experience is the key to successes for all that develop software. Both the successes and the failures in softwa e projects can help us to improve. Here we discuss how two versions of Post Mortem Analysis (PMA) as methods for harvesting experience from completed software projects, which...
As the new power markets in many countries develop and (hopefully) become well-functioning, management of electricity utilit es should change. We present a set of generation planning models adapted to a price taking generator in a competitive marketsitu ation. In this important special case, prices...
We report relatively high output powers and operating efficiencies from a relatively simple uncoated-end Fresnel-reflection-based Er:ZBLAN fiber la whose output powers should be easily scalable to the Watt power level with commercially available 780 nm diode pumps....
When packaging monolithic sensors by anodic bonding, protection of the electronics is crucial. We have investigated two different methods for protecting MOS capacitors from damage during anodic bonding. Our first approach was to etch 50 µm deep cavities in the Pyrex glass, lowering the electric...
We have investigated the effect of anodic bonding on silicon oxide by measuring MOS capacitors situated in Pyrex cavities. We used two different cavity depths, giving 1 µm or 200 µm vertical distance between the gate electrode and the Pyrex. After bonding, we found that the flat-band voltage of...
