Concept of a (1-. cap alpha. ) performance confidence interval

Description: A multi-input, single-output system is assumed to be represented by some model. The distribution functions of the input and the output variables are considered to be at least obtainable through experimental data. Associated with the computer response of the model corresponding to given inputs, a conditional pseudoresponse set is generated. This response can be constructed by means of the model by using the simulated pseudorandom input variates from a neighborhood defined by a preassigned probab… more

Advances in processing nuclear waste glasses

Description: The vitrification of nuclear waste glasses is presenting unique challenges to glass technologists. On the one hand, the composition of the most important constituent of the glass batch/--/the waste/--/may vary widely. On the other hand, the vitrification process itself must be tightly controlled to ensure product quality, public safety, and process reliability. This has led to several important developments in waste vitrification technology, all aimed at improving process control. These include… more

Weld Penetration and Defect Control

Description: Highly engineered designs increasingly require the use of improved materials and sophisticated manufacturing techniques. To obtain optimal performance from these engineered products, improved weld properties and joint reliability are a necessarily. This requirement for improved weld performance and reliability has led to the development of high-performance welding systems in which pre-programmed parameters are specified before any welding takes place. These automated systems however lack the ab… more

Writing audit findings: Be reasonable

Description: A customary approach to auditing and reporting deficiencies is to keep a running list of those that are found, evaluate the severity of each, and based on the evidence, document findings or observations or concerns in an audit report. The report is issued and the auditee is normally requested to address root cause'' as part of their corrective action. This paper describes a root problems'' approach to documenting audit findings that is designed not only to put the QA auditor in a more favorable… more

Effect of manufacturing errors on field quality of the LBL SSC dipoles

Description: A method is developed for determining the field aberrations resulting from specific kinds of manufacturing errors. This method is applied to the 40-mm i.d. dipoles under consideration at LBL, and also to similar ones with 30 and 50 mm i.d. The method is also applied to the CBA and Doubler/Saver magnets and the results compared with the measurements. The results obtained by this method are also compared with those obtained by assigning identical errors to the positions of the edges of all the co… more
