Piracy trends across the globe last year reaffirm that the illegal duplication of software presents a serious problem for software developers everywhere. Regionally a total of 19 European countries experienced the highest dollar loss -more than $ 4.9 billion -with an average piracy rate of 61 percent. While dollar losses in 11 countries in the Middle East, Africa, and India were more than $666 million, this region had the highest average piracy rate -85 percent. Eleven countries in Latin America lost a total of more than $822 million, and regionally experienced the second highest piracy rate -83 percent.

Datacom and Telecom bandwidth requirements have recently been increasing. Emerging technologies are driving the bandwidth requirements such as interactive television and uninterrupted conference calling. ATM is allowing for the increased bandwidth to become possible. Since ATM is a switching technology, the uninterrupted transfer of data, video and voice can be transferred and pieced back together without gaps introduced into the streams. Over time, current data formats will be converted to the ATM format initially starting with the backbone of the WANs, and soon implemented within the LANs. The LAN movement will require the lOMbps Ether-Net conversion to the 155Mbps ATM of the WANs which this paper demonstrates in the form of a Brouter. The Brouter allows for the concentration of multiple 10Mbps ports to the 155Mbps ATM port.

This paper examines conversion of the US Department of Defense Logistics Support Analysis Record Database structure, as defined by MIL-STD-1388-2B, for commercial use at the macro level. The paper identifies the desirable qualities of the database structure, identifies those features absolutely necessary for maintaining data integrity, and suggests a method for defining those features which should be maintained.

This paper examines the current business environment as it pertains to logistics support analysis for the small manufacturer, and discuss alternatives to integrating Department of Defense Logistics Support Analysis technology into the small manufacturing environment using the MIL-STD-1388-2B Logistics Support Analysis Record database structure as a foundation. The paper defines the problems, discusses alternatives, defines problems and advantages of integrating this Logistics Support Analysis Record technology, and moves toward defining a preferred solution. The paper defines the 'right-sized' Logistics Support Analysis Record needs, establishes the requirements, and examines methods to maximize the use of currently available technology.

The initial appeal of the partnership to STAT, Inc. was primarily a financial one. A young, start-up company, STAT was behind its competition in assessing and implementing a quality system because of the lack of operational history. STAT, through the partnership, hoped to benefit from the years of experience of the other partners through acquisition of programs and policies developed to solve problems in the other organizations. It also hoped to ignite a unique approach to problem solving within the Electronics Manufacturing community by emphasizing cooperation and sharing of resources.

Broadly defined, software piracy is the unauthorized copying or use of a computer program in any manner other than that which is permitted by copyright law or by the author, as stated in the applicable license agreement. Those pirating software, including end-users, dealers, mail-order houses, and counterfeiters, cause serious problems for the ongoing success of the software industry. And software piracy is illegal.

Today the winners in the electronic industry are those companies that reach the marketplace first with quality products and lower production costs. In just a few short years, one technology has revolutionized this process StereoLithography. StereoLithography is a process which quickly produces accurate three-dimensional parts without machining, cutting, or tooling. The StereoLithography process directs a computer-controlled laser beam to draw cross sections of an object on the surface of a vat of liquid plastic. The plastic hardens only where touched by the laser, forming one cross-sectional layer. The cross section is lowered by an elevator into the vat and the process is repeated, each layer adhering to the last, until a three-dimensional part is formed. Using this technology, CAD/CAM design of parts can be directly transformed into patterns in a matter of hours.

This paper presents a design methodology for the development of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that provides flexibility in the selection of a target implementation methodology and foundry. The paper also describes the advantages of migrating from one technology to another; specifically from a field or electrically programmable array device to a mask programmable device in order to reduce silicon area for cost and performance improvements. Additional information will show how multiple user-programmable parts can be combined into a single mask programmable part further reducing costs.
