    19 (05.4.1) Developing temperature control technology:
    Utilizing a mist-cooling system for devices that generate high temperature

    Abstract
    Semiconductor devices are given uniform temperature burn-in testing at the final inspection of the manufacturing process. It is becoming increasingly difficult to control the uniform temperature because of the high heat generation of the device itself due to advanced functions and high performance. We have undertaken to provide a mist cooling system to fulfill the requirements of the burn-in testing. By taking advantage of the latent heat of water, the mist cooling system is able to instantaneously dissipate a large amount of heat.

    19 (05.4.1) Measuring temperature, humidity, and vibration in microenvironments

    Abstract
    For this report we have continuously measured changes in temperature and humidity both in a semi-enclosed site and in a vehicle interior, and we have continuously measured vibration during transportation by truck in Utsunomiya and Kobe in Japan. The results of this study indicate that temperature and humidity fluctuations inside the vehicle are much greater than fluctuations in the semi-enclosed site, and that temperature and humidity fluctuations are especially great during the summer. These experiments have also revealed that the truck transportation environment transmitted continuous vibration to the cargo at a vibration acceleration of
    ±1 G (9.8 m/s2).

    16 (03.10.1) Direct-cooling recovery equipment developed for low-boiling-point refrigerants

    Abstract
    To concur with the introduction of the Fluorocarbon Recovery and Destruction Law in Japan in April 2002, Espec has developed direct-cooling recovery equipment to handle low-boiling-point refrigerants. This report introduces the new recovery equipment. At Espec, working units of this recovery equipment are already in operation at each of our domestic service locations. This report has previously been published in "The International Symposium on HCFC Alternative Refrigerants and Environmental Technology 2002" by the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association.

    13 (02.3.15) The ideal state of reliability control within corporations -Response to ISO 9000S:2000 and uncertainty-

    Abstract
    The International System of Units (SI) has been adopted for international commercial transactions under the GATT/ TBT agreement. The system of weights and measures has been completely in effect since January 2000, resulting in brisk international transactions. As a result, data reliability using these common terms has become very important, and international recognition has been forthcoming. Furthermore, ISO 9001:2000 was enacted in December 2000, Also, ISO/IEC 17025, " General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories " was enacted in January 2000, strengthening the requirements for establishing traceability systems In the future, corporations will find it increasingly important to establish in-house traceability systems and to have a reliability specialist capable of handling reliability maintenance for measuring and traceability. This article will discuss these issues.
