ruthenium? Know that ruthenium oxide is in resistors. -----Original Message----- From: David D. Hillman <[log in to unmask]> To: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thu, Mar 17, 2011 9:35 am Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question (a day early): The Question: This element has low ductility and high reactivity to air resulting in imited industrial uses. The largest use of this element is in the lectronics industry in resistors and in hybrid integrated circuits. This lement is used as a catalyst in the petroleum refining industry. dditions of this element to Titanium piping result in a significant orrosion resistance improvement for sour gas oil well applications. What lement is being described? he winner of this week's quiz will get to put Clumpy and his cousin loumpios to work. Both of them safely arrived here in Iowa after their boat" ride across the Atlantic, up the Mississippi and finally up the edar River to Cedar Rapids. The Army Corp of Engineers didn't quite know hat to make of their boat as they negotiated thru the Mississippi lock nd dam system. 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 conducted a plasma pre treatment Taguchi DOE for a sealing process Week 14 Bev Christian, RIM assisted with a tin pest investigation/test Week 15 Bev Christian, RIM - assisted Bev shoveling snow Week 16 David Bealer of Waatchfire Signs - unknown Week 17 Brian Ellis, rumored to be retired - assisted with rewiring the house, had a tractor accident and found his ousin Kloumpios ave Hillman ockwell Collins [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ his email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. or more information please contact helpdesk at x2960 or [log in to unmask] _____________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------- echnet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 o unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in he BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet o temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) o receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest earch the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives lease visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/ContentPage.aspx?Pageid=E-mail-Forums or additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 47-615-7100 ext.2815 ---------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
