Joseph Federico Speaks on Proper Electrical Testing at the DMSMS and Standardization Conference 2011

Clifton, NJ (PRWEB) September 23, 2011

Joseph Federico Vice President and director of operations of NJ Micro Electronic Test Labs spoke about proper testing for counterfeit electronics at the DMSMS conference recently concluded in Hollywood, Florida.

As exhibitors, we were proud to present our Mission: Imposter Counterfeit Component Test Program as well as to present a lecture on the proper electrical testing protocols that should be used in testing components for their full functional and parametric performance. These tests are invaluable in helping to detect counterfeit components, said Joseph Federico.

Joseph Federicos lecture was entitled Proper Electrical Testing to Detect Counterfeit Components. Its scope was to educate members of the electronics industry about the risks associated with performing only basic contact testing with simple counterfeit detectors as opposed to the preferred functional and parametric exercises required to properly test these suspect electronic components.

The objective of the conference was to focus on significantly improved DMSMS and Standardization policies, procedures, guidance, and automated tools that optimize Warfighter materiel readiness, and includes activities required to attain this goal such as Value Engineering, Product Support and Total Life Cycle Management, Parts Management, and mitigating the Counterfeiting epidemic on parts, material, and materiel. To meet this objective our approaches to managing the ever-present obsolescence problem must be examined. See the DMSMS website for a more details.

As an introductory message from the conference chair, director of the DMSMS Gregory E. Saunders outlined the importance of the conference objective by emphasizing that the strategic goals of the Department of Defense (DoD) objective was to include increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of developing, producing, testing and sustaining systems so that required warfighter capabilities are available.

He further went on to explain that the conference agenda would provide insight into the current best practices in DMSMS, Standardization, Parts Management, Value Engineering, Counterfeit Detection and Reporting, Total Life Cycle Management, and several other DMSMS and Standardization processes and initiatives.

The team at NJ Micro Electronic Testing participated in the Counterfeit Parts Control Plan Implementations, the DMSMS Tools and Services Program, as well as technical sessions and panels which included Institutionalizing Standard Practices, Defense Initiatives and their impact to DMSMS, Counterfeit Mitigation Strategies and Counterfeit Reporting.

One of the key sessions which we felt was an asset to this conference was the Counterfeit Reporting Workshop which excellently illustrated some of the main differences between the various reporting tools, said Joseph Federico. It also discussed processes and systems which increase the sharing of information enabling early detection and prevention of counterfeiting at all levels of the DoD supply chain.

In our opinion this conference was one of the best opportunities for exchanging information between the audience and presenters, Joseph Federico added.

On a different note, there was a major concern on behalf of the US Department of Defense on the potential cutback of electrical testing of electronic components.

The Military and Aerospace industry attendees and exhibitors had major concerns about the limited testing performed by a curve/contact tester versus the preferred DC, AC functional and parametric testing over the device temperature in uncovering counterfeit product said Joseph Federico of NJ Micro Electronic Testing.

This is the primary reason why we held the lecture on proper electrical testing; to emphasize the importance of performing proper DC, AC functional and parametric testing. Electrical testing provides a more thorough exercise in testing electronic component products to illustrate their accuracy and authenticity, said Joseph Federico.

All of the workshops were extremely helpful in moving forward on improving organizational structures and improving DMSMS strategies for the future, Joseph Federico concluded.

Clifton, New Jersey based NJ Micro Electronic Testing provides a wide and diversified range of laboratory test and management services. NJ Micro Electronic Testing is equipped and staffed to be a single source provider for all testing needs.

Terran Marketing Buys websitehosting.com for $190,000 in the Largest Domain Sale So Far in 2011

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 8, 2011

A new bar has been set for the highest valued domain name transaction in 2011 as Terran Marketing purchases websitehosting.com from a private seller for $ 190,000.

Terran Marketing was formed in late 2010 with over 15 years of combined affiliate marketing experience. They have already purchased and / or started several other affiliate related websites in the WordPress, RV, health, and travel arenas, but this is their first web hosting related site. CEO, Michael Jackness says “I’m excited to pick up websitehosting.com, a site that will almost certainly become our flagship brand.”

“Website Hosting was a multi billion dollar industry in 2010 and we expect that to see continued growth in 2011,” said Jackness. Terran Marketing plans on making Website Hosting a diverse tool for the web hosting industry with news, articles, videos, and tools. In addition, they will offer reviews of 100′s of web hosting companies and allow visitors to rank and review each one.

Michael Jackness also made a post on his personal blog vowing to document the progress of Website Hosting “every step of the way”. It’s his way of giving back to the affiliate community that made him so successful today. The initial post outlines his thought process for buying the domain and what makes it so valuable.

Since the transaction just took place a few days ago, Website Hosting is currently under construction and only has a few news articles posted. However, there is message that reads “Thank you for stopping by Website Hosting. We are currently under construction. Our new site is set to launch March 1, 2011. In the mean time, we will be adding news about the web hosting industry.” In speaking with Michael Jackness, he says “I’ve been working in the IT industry for over 15 years and I’m used to development projects taking longer than expected. However, our initial design is already completed and the project is now in the coding stage. I see no reason why we can’t make our deadline.”

For more information please contact Michael Jackness at Teran Marketing or signup for the newsletter at websitehosting.com. They will be sending out periodic information as the site construction progresses.

First Web Design Conference for Sonoma, Marin, and Napa County to be Held April 12, 2011 in Rohnert Park

Sebastopol, CA (PRWEB) March 8, 2011

On April 12, 2011, the first-ever professional web design conference for the north San Francisco Bay Area will be held in Rohnert Park, California. This one-day event addresses the pressing need for web designers and developers to keep up with rapidly changing web technologies, without having to travel to San Francisco or beyond.

The event, which will be held at the Sonoma Mountain Village Event Center in Rohnert Park, is being organized by premier sponsor Webvanta, a Sebastopol-based company that provides technology services and a hosted CMS for web designers and agencies.

Additional sponsors include O’Reilly Media; Art Institute of California – Sacramento; Sonoma Mountain Business Cluster; and Engine Yard.

Conference registration is open now at the North Bay Web Conference site. Registration for the one-day conference is only $ 99, including breakfast, breaks, and lunch.

Conference director Michael Slater commented, “There are many top-notch web designers in the North Bay, yet there have been no sizable web gatherings beyond San Francisco. We thought it was time designers in Sonoma, Marin, and Napa counties had their own local conference.”

Slater has many years of experience producing high-quality conferences, as program director for the Microprocessor Forum for more than a decade.

The conference will kick off with keynote talks from Michael Slater, CEO of Webvanta, on “The State of the Web”, and Bill Mead, lead instructor of web design at the Art Institute of California, on “Educating the Next Generation of Web Designers”.

Web technologies are evolving rapidly, and it is a continual challenge for designers to keep up so they can design the best sites for their clients. The program includes talks on the latest generation of the core web technologies — HTML5 and CSS3 — as well as on jQuery, the most popular JavaScript framework.

Mobile devices are becoming an important part of the web landscape, and designing sites for them adds yet another challenge for web designers. Jared White of Siteshine will present “From Clicks to Gestures: Developing for a Mobile, Touch-based World” to help designers make the transition to supporting mobile devices.

The program will continue with presentations on four of the major content management systems: WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, and Webvanta. These presentations will help designers put each of these leading CMS systems in perspective and choose the one that best fits their projects.

The day concludes with a focus on content, which is — or, at least, should be — the heart of every website. All too often, content development is neglected, and site pages are built in a manual way. The talks will address both content strategy and the technology for implementing it.

For complete agenda details and registration information, see the conference website.

———

The North Bay Web Design Conference is being produced by Webvanta Inc., which provides site-building services and a hosted CMS for web designers and agencies. (It is not, however, focused on Webvanta technology, but covers technologies and techniques of interest to all web designers.)
