Well Dave, Clumpy has had some training in the area.  He did go to the 
University of Wisconsin, but got into some bad (psychodelic) bratwurst and 
so never completed his degree.  In industry, he has had some experience to 
Lean philosophy, but he is in therapy to overcome that.  He has also 
started some six sigma training, but sadly is only about 4 sigma at this 
point.   He has realized though, that he will never be able to reach the 
PhD level as that would make him "Doc" and there is already a dwarf with 
that name.  Tragic but true.

NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer





Outstanding! I don't know just how much statistical training Clumpy has in 
his resume but he has been shown to be quite adaptable for a wide range of 
Technet tasks last year. Clumpy  was able to obtain a ride across the 
Atlantic on Saturday in the cargo hold of a A380 flight so he should show 
up at your doorstep this morning.

Hey Doug - just how much statistical analysis training has Clumpy 
completed? Heck, did Clumpy ever go to university? We could use a bit of 
Clumpy's history after Disney dumped him.

Dave

[TN] AW: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer






Hi Dave,
can you tell when Clumpy will arrive here in Germany? I need him quite 
urgently to work on an experiment to determine the right parameter 
settings of a plasma gun. We are going to use a plasma pre treatment to 
activate the surface of a plastic connector before we dispense a 
thixotropic adhesive into the sealing groove and Clumpy has to perform the 
planned Taguchi DOE to set up a robust process ... :-)))

Cheers,
Gebhard

Betreff: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer

Hi folks - Hope everyone had a great holiday, here is the Friday Element
Quiz Question and Answer:

The Question:

This element was used as the power source for the 1970 Soviet Luna 17 and
Luna 21 lunar rover missions. The element isotope heat decay kept the
rovers warm during the cold lunar nights. This element is extremely toxic
- the maximum human body burden is only 6.8x10-12 grams. Which element is
being described?

The Answer:

The element is Polonium (Po). Po-210 generates a tremendous amount of
radioactive decay energy: 1 gram of Po-210 will produce 141 W of power
from its alpha decay. This self heating act of Po makes it very hard to
study. Polonium was discovered in 1898 and named by Marie Curie for her
native country Poland. Po-210 is an almost pure alpha emitter which makes
it a very convenient power supply for spacecraft because heavy shielding
is not needed to produce the ground crews prior to launch.


Lots of folks provided the correct answer but Gebhard Neifer of Delphi was
first so he gets to put Clumpy to work (looks like Clumpy will be making a
trip to Germany):

So far Clumpy has:

Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings
- accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee)

Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM
- conducted REACH material testing

Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc.
- Solderability testing and mowed the lawn

Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich
- had an epic journey of travel

Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global
- unknown

Week 5 Fredrick Miller, Astrolab
- unknown

Week 6 David Nelson, Raytheon
- Was a tackling dummy for Dallas Cowboys

Week 7 Graham Collins, L3 Communications
- Cleaned gutters and painted window trim

Week 8 Bill Noel, ITT Geospatial Systems Division
- unknown

Week 9 Steve Gregory of RD Circuits
- unknown

Week 10 David Bealer of Watchfire Signs
- descaled the in-line wash machine! Ouch!

Week 11 Dick Krug of Sparton Corporation
- assisted with AS9100 quality management systems requirements audit

Week 12 Steve Creswick of Balanced Enterprise Solutions
- Acted as Steve's "go fer" due to a broken leg!

Week 13 Gebhard Neifer, Delphi
- ??? owes us a description

Have a good weekend.
