8 unusual facts about Reliability engineering


Circuit reliability

Circuit reliability is given by where T o is the circuit total outage time, Ts is the circuit total scheduled time, and T a is the circuit total available time.

Heinz P. Bloch

He has extensive experience in machine reliability and is widely regarded as an authority on the subject.

MysqlBind

mysqlBind (now unxsBind) centralizes all data in a replicated SQL database and limits any DNS configuration errors to one software package failure point.

Offshore wind power

Turbines are much less accessible when offshore (requiring the use of a service vessel for routine access, and a jackup rig for heavy service such as gearbox replacement), and thus reliability is more important than for an onshore turbine.

Reliability

Reliability engineering, the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time.

SQuORE

The main goal of software analysis is the assessment of quality characteristics like maintainability, reliability or maturity.

Tehkan World Cup

Mechanical reliability proved to be the game's Achilles' heel, as the physical nature of play necessitated regular maintenance on high-wear components.

Web template system

For other members of the "site team", a template system frees webmasters to focus on technical maintenance, content suppliers to focus on content, and for all of them more reliability.
