412 results about "Failure risk" patented technology

Failure to include risks in the risk register on the grounds that they do not fit the PIM-based concept of a risk. Failure to take into account other risk attributes that may be important to risk prioritisation, e.g. urgency of response, value of risk responses, clarity of risk ownership or relationships with other risks.

Quantitative risk assessment system (QRAS)

A quantitative risk assessment system (QRAS) builds a risk model of a system for which risk of failure is being assessed, then analyzes the risk of the system corresponding to the risk model. The QRAS performs sensitivity analysis of the risk model by altering fundamental components and quantifications built into the risk model, then re-analyzes the risk of the system using the modifications. More particularly, the risk model is built by building a hierarchy, creating a mission timeline, quantifying failure modes, and building / editing event sequence diagrams. Multiplicities, dependencies, and redundancies of the system are included in the risk model. For analysis runs, a fixed baseline is first constructed and stored. This baseline contains the lowest level scenarios, preserved in event tree structure. The analysis runs, at any level of the hierarchy and below, access this baseline for risk quantitative computation as well as ranking of particular risks. A standalone Tool Box capability exists, allowing the user to store application programs within QRAS.

MOSFET device with multiple gate contacts offset from gate contact area and over source area

Careful repositioning of MOSFET gate contacts and increasing of their number makes MOSFET gate contacts more durable and reliable without requiring changes in either the leadframe design or the assembly process. Extension of the under-bump metal laterally from the gate contact with the gate pad metallization out to two or more gate pads not overlying the gate pad metallization minimizes the risk of delamination of the metallization due to thermal and mechanical stresses in assembly and operation. Use of more than one gate pad further reduces such failure risks. Positioning the gate pads sufficiently close to the original gate contact permits use of the same leadframe design and assembly process as would be used for a single gate pad placed directly over the gate contact. The result is a reliable, durable MOSFET gate contact compatible with current assembly methods.
