WILSONVILLE, OR - Mentor Graphics Corporation announced a call-for-entries for its 20th annual Technology Leadership Awards
competition. The competition recognizes engineers and computer aided
design (CAD) designers who use Mentor tools to address complex PCB
systems design challenges and produce industry-leading products. Entries can be submitted from January 10th through March 14, 2008. Entrants can apply online at www.mentor.com/go/tla.
Judging will be based on overcoming complexity challenges, such as
small form factor, high-speed content, design team collaboration,
advanced PCB fabrication technologies and design-cycle time reduction.
Judging will start in mid-March and winners will be announced at the
PCB Design Conference East, Tinley Park, IL in May 11-16, 2008. PCB industry experts will judge the contest. This year’s judges include Happy Holden, senior technology specialist of Mentor Graphics; Gary Ferrari, technical support director, FTG Circuits; Pete Waddell, vice president of UP Media, publisher of Printed Circuit Designs & Fab Magazine; and Rick Hartley, senior principal engineer, avionics division of L-3 Communications. Entrants can submit their design accomplishments in any of six categories representing a wide variety of industries: · PC computers and peripherals · Consumer electronics and handhelds · Industrial control, instrumentation, security and medical · Military and aerospace · Telecom switches, network servers, base stations and computer mainframes · Transportation and automotive “Mentor Graphics is committed to the PCB systems design community, and our PCB Technology Leadership Awards
contest provides the opportunity to showcase the most innovative and
talented designers worldwide,” said Henry Potts, vice president and
general manager, systems design division, Mentor Graphics. “The program
continues to attract the most skilled users of our PCB systems design
tools and Mentor expects this year’s competition to be bigger than ever
with entries from virtually all the major electronics countries in the
world.”

Grieve Introduces No. 952 Oven
No. 952 is a 550°F electrically-heated forced air convection bench oven, currently used for various programmed heat processings. Workspace dimensions measure 26" x 22" x 16". 3kW installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements provide heat to the workload. A 1/80-HP recirculating blower creates a convection air movement in the chamber. Features 3" insulated walls, an aluminized steel exterior, Type 430 stainless steel interior and an integral oven stand. Has a programmable and recording temperature controller with 10" diameter circular chart, plus a manual reset excess temperature controller...

Improving Fabrication Yields
How the CAM engineer can make the difference. Embedded in fabrication planning is calculating panel size, checking layer stackup information, reviewing expected yields, reviewing board construction and verifying impedance control calculations. Typical panel sizes are 9 x 12˝, 12 x 18˝, 18 x 24˝, or 18 x 36˝. A number of factors need to be considered when calculating panel size. For instance, consider a small board of 25 sq. in. A relatively high number of this small board can be panelized...
