WHAT IS METAL WHISKERS ??




METAL WHISKERS 

Metal whiskers are tiny hair-like growths that form on metals. When these electrically conductive whiskers appear on electronic assemblies, they can cause shorts or current leakage. The reason for their appearance is still hypothesized, but they are known to form mostly on pure tin or zinc finished surfaces. They can remain undetected, growing slowly out of your connectors until they destroy your cables and harnesses.
                                 Metal whiskers may vary in shape and size. Some emerge as straight while others may appear curved, forked, pyramidal, or grooved. Growth time can take anywhere from days to years, and can reach up to 10 mm.
                                                           Shorts and arcs are a symptom of metal whiskers. High Voltage, or Hipot, testing can detect metal whiskers and help you avoid serious problems in your products. To learn more about high voltage, check out Cirris’ article on Testing Cables with High Voltage.
                             Due to METAL WHISKERS the electronic circuit can be break after some time and this is cause is perform after electric shock. NASA satellite also not damage after some long time duration because on metal the whiskers grow very fast and make circuit usefulness.

Concept of Big data

Best Laptop for students Concept of BIG DATA The concept of big data arrived in executive suites via IT and engineering departments, and those technical roots have led to some disagreement of what the term means. At its core, big data refers to high volumes of information from multiple sources being fed into data stores on a time-sensitive basis. The shorthand: lots of data coming rapidly and from many places. Big data is an important foundation of quality  business intelligence , providing enough information to detect meaningful trends. Big Data Everywhere!  • Lots of data is being collected and warehoused • Web data, e-commerce • purchases at department/ grocery stores • Bank/Credit Card transactions • Social Network Type of Data • Relational Data (Tables/Transaction/Legacy Data) • Text Data (Web) • Semi-structured Data (XML) • Graph Data • Social Network, Semantic Web (RDF), … • Streaming Data • You can only scan the data o...
