Contact YEA Chair Ron Wilkinson: [email protected] March 2015 3 ASHRAE Puget Sound Chapter - Punch List 2015 HVAC Code Proposal Updates After gathering input from a number of industry experts, Ecotope assembled and submitted four code change proposals to the Washington State Energy Code (WSEC). The code changes are organized around a dedicated outside air system (DOAS) and are intended to significantly reduce heating, cooling, ventilation, and fan energy in a range of commercial buildings. On February 5, 2015, more than 20 members of the ASHRAE Puget Sound chapter participated in an HVAC code brainstorming strategy lunch to discuss opportunities and potential challenges associated with the code change proposals. There was a general sense that the DOAS code changes would be effective in helping the WSEC make progress toward meeting the mandate to reduce energy use by 70% by 2030 compared to the 2006 code. However, some participants suggested that there are various conditions that can arise in commercial buildings that may require a different design configuration and that there should be some flexibility in the DOAS code requirement. The input from this session was valuable and contributed directly to the final proposals submitted on March 1, 2015. All WSEC code change proposals will now be reviewed and discussed by the Energy Code Technical Advisory Group (TAG) mid-March to mid-May 2015. Then recommended proposals will move on to the State Building Code Council (SBCC) for further review before being selected to move forward to public hearing. The SBCC will make the final decision on adoption in late 2015. For more information on the 2015 WSEC code cycle schedule, please see the Energy Code TAG landing page at https://fortress.wa.gov/ga/apps/sbcc/Page.aspx?nid=116 . For more information on the DOAS HVAC code proposals and/or how to support the proposals at the Energy Code TAG meetings, contact Poppy Storm at 206.322.3753 ext. 205 or [email protected]. 4 March 2015 ASHRAE Puget Sound Chapter - Punch List Sign Up to Mentor Students Puget Sound Engineering Council Mentor Nights The PSEC Mentor Nights are hosted at participating colleges and universities with the purpose of giving engineering students (college & occasionally high school) an opportunity to ask questions in person from a variety of practicing engineers. Discussions cover a wide spectrum of engineering disciplines, professions, career pathways, continuing education post-graduation, professional registration considerations, professional engineering organizations, responsibilities, and ethics. Pizza and refreshments provided. These one night volunteer events are a great way to meet other chapter members and to encourage future engineers. More information about PSEC Mentor Nights can be found HERE: For more information, please contact Student Activities chair Brian Emtman at [email protected]. UPCOMING MENTORING EVENTS: • April 9th 2015: “Dinner with Industry” hosted by the student section of Society of Women Engineers at Everett Community College. • April 21st 2015: PSEC Mentor Night hosted by Highline College, Des Moines, WA • May 6th 2015: PSEC Mentor

    www.PDHcenter.com PDH Course M143 www.PDHonline.org A Basic Design Guide for Clean Room Applications Course Content PART – I OVERVIEW Clean rooms are defined as specially constructed, environmentally controlled enclosed spaces with respect to airborne particulates, temperature, humidity, air pressure, airflow patterns, air motion, vibration, noise, viable (living) organisms, and lighting. Particulate control includes: !" Particulate and microbial contamination !" Particulate concentration and dispersion “Federal Standard 209E” defines a clean room as a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled to specified limits. “British Standard 5295” defines a clean room as a room with control of particulate contamination, constructed and used in such a way as to minimize the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room and in which the temperature, humidity, airflow patterns, air motion and pressure are controlled. Today, many manufacturing processes require that spaces be designed to control particulate and microbial contamination while maintaining reasonable installation and operating costs. Clean rooms are typically used in manufacturing, packaging, and research facilities associated with these industries: 1. Semiconductor: This industry drives the state of the art clean room design, and this industry accounts for a significant number of all operating clean rooms. 2. Pharmaceutical: Clean rooms control living particles that would produce undesirable bacterial growth in the preparation of biological, pharmaceutical, and other medical products as well as in genetic engineering research.

Aerospace: The manufacturing and assembling of aerospace electronics, missiles and satellites were the first application of clean rooms.

  • ABSTRACT: This Paper Mainly Reviews About the Legal Aspects Of
    ABSTRACT: This paper mainly reviews about the legal aspects of reverse engineering while taking into consideration of its definitions and types of reverse engineering. It mainly concentrates on legal aspects of patent, copyright issues of reverse engineering like design copyrights and also discuss the laws according to some countries. While taking into consideration of its definition and types of reverse engineering and the tools used. DEFENITION OF REVERSE ENGINEERING: The process of systematically taking apart a chip or application program to discover how it works, with the aim of imitating or duplicating some or all of its functions. For example removing the body parts of a car to understand the mechanism of the car and refitting it. Or making another car that doesn’t resemble the model without copying anything from the original. Reverse engineering, as the name implies, in other words, the attempt to recapture the top level specification by analysing the product - "attempt" because it is not possible in practice, or even in theory, to recover everything in the original specification purely by studying the product. Reverse engineering is difficult and time consuming, but it is getting easier all the time thanks to IT, for two reasons: Firstly, as engineering techniques themselves become more computerised, more of the design is due to the computer. Thus, recognisable blocks of code, or groups of circuit elements on a substrate, often occur in many different designs produced by the same computer program. These are easier to recognise and interpret than a customised product would be. Secondly, artificial intelligence techniques for pattern recognition, and for parsing and interpretation, have advanced to the point where these and other structures within a product can be recognised automatically.

  • Reverse Engineering - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Reverse engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering Reverse engineering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail to be used in maintenance, or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original. Reverse engineering has its origins in the analysis of hardware for commercial or military advantage [1]. The purpose is to deduce design decisions from end products with little or no additional knowledge about the procedures involved in the original production. The same techniques are currently being researched for application to legacy software systems, not for industrial or defense ends, but rather to replace incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise unavailable documentation [2]. Contents 1 Motivation 2 Reverse engineering of mechanical devices 3 Reverse engineering of software 3.1 Binary software 3.1.1 Binary software techniques 4 Source code 5 Reverse engineering of integrated circuits/smart cards 6 Reverse engineering for military applications 7 Legality 8 See also 9 Further reading 10 References 11 External links Motivation Reasons for reverse engineering: Interoperability. Lost documentation: Reverse engineering often is done because the documentation of a particular device has been lost (or was never written), and the person who built it is no longer available. Integrated circuits often seem to have been designed on obsolete, proprietary systems, which means that the only way to incorporate the functionality into new technology is to reverse-engineer the existing chip and then re-design it.
