Designing with synchronous clocks avoids metastability issues on clock domain crossings, but it presents its own challenges when multi-cycle and false paths are involved. A multi-cycle path (MCP) ...

A thermodynamic cycle simulation using multiple zones for the combustion process was used to obtain the performance, energy and availability characteristics for an automotive spark-ignition engine. In ...

Logic simulation is an interesting beast. Most engineers know what it does and what it's for, but few understand its subtle ramifications. Several techniques exist for verifying the functionality of a ...

The oil and gas production explosion is driving the renaissance of the chemical and process industries in North America. With low-cost natural gas comes low-cost feedstock for many chemical compounds, ...

This white paper explains how to introduce front-end simulation into plastic injection mold designs to achieve optimal cycle times and higher part quality. This can help injection mold designers and ...

Cycle time serves as the speedometer for engineering teams, providing valuable insights into their development process. By measuring and improving cycle time, teams can accelerate innovation, stay ...

This article concludes the Troubleshooter’s Rules of Thumb series. Bob Hatch is manager of technical service and customer support for Prime Alliance, the Des Moines-based resin distributor. Before ...

Process time vs. cycle time is a discussion that comes up often for newcomers to Six Sigma. Understanding these principles and how they apply to your time management is vital. Failing to grasp these ...
