Hi folks - here is the Quiz: The Question: This element is fifth in cosmic abundance after hydrogen, helium, oxygen and carbon but it is rare on Earth. After 1902, Air Liquide produced industrial quantities of this element as a byproduct of their air-liquefaction business. The most abundant isotope of this element is created by the carbon-burning process of stellar nucleosynthesis. A bright reddish-orange color. What element is being described? The winner(s) of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week.

Before they leave Cedar Rapids, you might have them review your assembly area to see if NMP is a minor ingredient in any of your cleaners. The last one I am chasing is a possible inclusion as a minor ingredient in solder paste. EPA knows about that use, already. I cannot find any methylene chloride used in circuit board fabrication or assembly anywhere. Finally, have them bring an ax, i am not sure if I have enough firewood put away for a colder than average Indiana winter. I am sure they can use a chainsaw. Great to have them next week. Week 106 Russell Kido, Practical Components - Clumpy & Kloumpios can help with preparations for APEX and reviewing and selecting tasks for the B-11A 3D Electronic Packages Guideline Task Group. IPC-7091. It's sunny here but cold for us here in California compared to Iowa. Week 107 Bhanu Sood, NASA - assisted with ???? Week 107 Dean Vinke, Blue Canyon Tech - assisted with ??? Week 108 ???? - assisted with ???? I hope everyone has an awesome week! Dave Hillman Collins Aerospace [log in to unmask]
