![]() ![]() This wear could be considered "common cause variation" as would the settling of the components with temperature and gas flow controls. The variation was due to set up and wear of the components over time, as plasma is hot and beam currents act like particle guns in sci-fi movies. The process would drift in normal operation, as operators (or the machine) had to tune the beam for extraction and often managed to get slightly different optimum "beam currents". The implanter is basically a mass spectrometer on steroids. Precision machining, high voltages and powerful magnets enabled the charged particles to be drawn out of the plasma and then be magnetically steered through a fine graphite slot, selecting one particular element from the original gas. They turn gases into plasma - a glowing cloud of charged particles. I explained that I had worked with ion implanters. However, it was believed that working to 6 Sigma standards would ensure that tolerances between steps would not be an issue. Sometimes in processes with tolerances on each step, the tolerances can add up and lead to problems. We discussed the original logic was for serial process steps. This time I explained in more detail that I suspect it would have been Motorola that defined the offset as they developed the original system. How accurate or valid the answer is I cannot confirm.Īshish came back to me after my first reply. It did agree with my value of the probability of landing above Z=6. I found a "calculator" that might be correct but I cannot confirm the accuracy. I even did a web search on the 1.5 Sigma offset and only found a few posts that explained it reasonably well. In either case, we would quickly see the daily setup variation on both sides of the mean they created - but this would have a zero long term component (starting value) from which the long term "deterioration" begins.īefore replying, though, I spent a while trying to find a chart that gives z-scores as high as 6 and failed - miserably. In the examples I have given below, the 1.5 sigma (long term) would start with a "new" part (for example, a filament with a specific resistance) or a "clean" vacuum system (that defines the optimum vacuum - it cannot be any better, so any change in the optimum would depend on the efficiency of the vacuum pumps). I explained that I had simply assumed that the value of 1.5 was based on the long term drift they (Motorola) had seen on equipment. He was not too happy with the answer either. My answer in the post was followed up in a chat to Ashish. Between that and some other research I did, the chapter did not turn out as I originally planned. I just accepted that the reasons were valid even though I thought the logic was a bit "iffy". ![]() (If we consider the area above and below +/- 6 Sigma, we would have a 2 in a billion failure rate but, in reality, the value is not really relevant.)īecause I worked in Semiconductor Manufacturing for a long time, I understood that there were long term drifts: I had seen them and they were often part of a solution to a process problem. Now, if you look further to the right, starting at 6 Sigma, but below the x-axis, we see a blue area that represents the 1 in a billion failure rate. The large "orange" block to the right of the mean and above the x-axis, starting at 4.5 Sigma is the area under the curve that represents 3.4 failures per million (or 3.4 DPMO). If you refer to the figure below, you will see that I extended a standard 3-sigma binomial chart to 6-sigma. When we look at the normal distribution, we would usually assume that the 3.4 fails per million would be evenly split between both the positive and negative (1.7 fails on each side, which would make the z-score around 4.6 to 4.7) that is 1.7 per million above 6 sigma and 1.7 per million below -6 Sigma, but this is not how I understood the explanation. It bothered me that the 4.5 Sigma range starts from a mean value of Zero (50% on the Binomial Distribution). The long-term drift was 1.5 Sigma and the short-term was 4.5 Sigma.īut, to be honest, I never agreed with the logic. So I answered the question from memory, explaining that Motorola had "split" the 6 Sigma values into two parts: a long term and a short term drift. (and we are worried about 6 Sigma!)īut you can see it is a tad less frequent than 3.4 failures in a million. In the UK a billion is a million million, although recently it was reported as 100 million. Unless I missed the memo, this is an American Billion. ![]() What I found was a much lower rate at 6 Sigma: around 1 in 1,000,000,000.Īs an aside. When it came to explaining the failure rate, no matter what I did, I could not get "6 Sigma" to be 3.4 per million fails. You see, when I wrote my first book, I included a chapter on 6 Sigma. The question was "Why is 'Six Sigma' called '6' sigma and not 4.5 sigma or some other sigma?" Gautam asked a question in a group that I found very interesting because it brought back memories. ![]()

![]() ![]() Joyner said he wasn't too surprised to get the call, though. Joyner was inspired by this and took that passion into his audition, successfully scoring the role of a lifetime and helping create one of the biggest cultural icons of the '90s. The next day, as Joyner was driving to the audition, he recalls seeing a Southwest Airlines billboard with the caption "Breathe life into your vacation," just as he had dreamed of breathing life back into an unconscious Barney. Good thing Barney doesn't have sharp teeth. In this vision, Barney was passed out on the ground, and Joyner had to rush to the dinosaur's rescue, saving him through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Sure enough, on the night before his big audition to play Barney, he had an intriguing dream about the now-popular character. As far as part-time work goes, hey - it's better than working a cash register.Īccording to Joyner, he comes from a family filled with psychic energy, and a lot of clairvoyance, so when it's time to make big life decisions, he has always trusted his dreams to guide the way. There, he worked as a live mannequin, standing in store windows and moving like a mechanical robot. Surprisingly enough, the weird side gig that most prepared this talented guy for his purple future was in a mall. However, deep down, what Joyner really wanted was to be an entertainer. (That's why everyone loved that goofy-looking Tyrannosaurus so much!) He's also a talented musician, a skilled dancer, and an athlete. So yeah, the real guy who played Barney could simultaneously massage you, be your spiritual counselor, and fix your computer - all at the same time. ![]() Meanwhile, he also became a licensed massage therapist. In an interview with Trainwreck'd Society, Joyner revealed that in his youth, he scored an ITT Tech degree in Electronic Engineering, and then worked for Texas Instruments as a software analyst. The idea of a spiritual purple dinosaur is already amazing enough, but it gets better, because Joyner is also smart as a whip. ![]() ![]() Insert the cables into the red box you’ll find in this area. Pull the cables out of the green terminal, jump down to the terrace directly below you, then jump down to the next terrace you should now see below you. In this area, you’ll find yet another green box with even more cables in them. Insert these cables into the red terminal you find on this level. When that’s done, pull the cable out of the green terminal found on this level and jump down two more levels. There, you’ll want to insert the cables into the red terminal. On this roof, you’ll want to pull the cable out of the nearby green terminal and then drop down two levels. You’ll also want to jump on the same roof with the antenna sticking out of it that we referenced in the previous section.

Dying Light 2 – Where to Find the Left Finger of gloVa They’re honestly not that great, but they’re pretty fun to use and certainly work in a pinch. These hand blades are a clear nod to Cyberpunk 2077‘s Matis Blades. There should be an NPC on the top of that roof known simply as the “Liquidator” who will give you the blueprint for a weapon called “Cyber Hands 2177.” Once you’re on that rooftop, start climbing up the ducts on the south side of the roof until you’re able to glide to the building that should be right in front of you (it’s the one that is covered with trees). There, you should be able to use a glider to reach the nearby rooftop that is covered in moss and has a giant antenna sticking out of it. ![]() Head to the southwest edge of the building’s roof. That will grant you access to an elevator that takes you to the top.

Some of those rewards are little more than memes, but some of these special items are powerful enough to pretty much break the game. ![]() While Dying Light 2 features some of the most amusing, subtle, and creatively diverse Easter eggs that I’ve seen in a game in quite some time, the game’s best Easter eggs are often those that reward you with some special weapon or piece of equipment that produce effects that simply can’t be replicated. Dying Light 2 is filled with weapons, items, and equipment of varying quality and rarity, but some of the game’s most interesting gear belongs to a tier best described as “Easter eggs.” ![]() ![]() ![]() The Music Tag Editor 2.

Several YouTube commenters try to help him out by making multiple suggestions: he shouldn't speed, he should use the gas engine on the freeway, he should adjust the driving mode, he should drive the car differently to maximize its range potential, and on and on. How much is a 2018 Chevrolet Volt worth The value of a used 2018 Chevrolet Volt ranges from 11,698 to 23,055, based on vehicle condition, mileage, and options.

I won’t spoil it but it’s a good way to learn all the essentials of Anno while also getting those war hands dirty. With a few lengthy chapters, the campaign does a great job of educating you in various mechanics, presenting both likable and despicable characters along with a surprisingly compelling story. Eventually you pick up some disenfranchised workers and set to work on expanding to a port town (and beyond). "So with all that out of the way, what do you do in Anno 1800? Long story short, a lot."Īnno 1800‘s campaign doesn’t take long to thrust you into the action and regardless of how you choose to play – with more guidance or less – there is a structure to setting up your quaint little village. Once greedy uncle Edvard usurps your family’s company, Goode and Sons, it’s off to a new island to establish a rival organization and make your own mark in this age of cutthroat competition. Your character is returning home after a long absence, fulfilling a request from their younger sister Hannah to attend your father’s funeral. The campaign starts by offering a peek at smog-ridden factory districts while highlighting the beauty of 19 th century architecture and housing. ![]() There’s no renaissance here – Anno 1800 is all about the Industrial Age. Thankfully, with Anno 1800, Blue Byte has gone back to its complex roots while presenting a spectacular journey into its addictive machinations and city management. Though Anno 2070 was rated higher, the series had peaked at Anno 1404 aka Dawn of Discovery with its Renaissance-era premise and complex gameplay catering to the amateur economist in all of us. Anno 2205 released in 2015 but faced its fair share of criticism for simplifying the gameplay and core appeal of the franchise. In the past few years of city builders, Blue Byte’s Anno series has had a low-key presence. ![]() ![]() ![]() The “Apache” tab is one that I like to mess with, to change the document root directory. ![]() Just know that this option is available if you need it to run something such as legacy software. It will default to 5.3, and I do not change this because most applications I run either require PHP 5.3 or do not care. The “PHP” tab allows you to choose which version of PHP to run in the set-up. Another factor to consider is whether you are installing WordPress “multisite” if you are, then you are required to set the ports to the default Apache and SQL ports of, respectively. This will allow your URL to simply be localhost/ but you will most likely need to enter your password when switching the servers on and off. To avoid this, you could change the ports to what general Web servers operate on: ports. You must include the port number in your URL this way so, it would be localhost:8888/. I, for one, do not change these because they do not interfere with any of my other settings and do not require me to enter my password every time I start and stop the servers. In the “Ports” tab, the default Apache port will usually be 8888, and the default MySQL port will be 8889. You may also set your home page, which defaults to the MAMP start screen, giving you quick access to phpMyAdmin but you may set it to something like a WordPress directory. ![]() If you choose to not start the servers automatically, then you will need to explicitly tell them to run each time you open the app. Start/Stopįrom here, you have the option to tell MAMP when to start and stop the servers.

Open up your “Applications” folder, and locate the new MAMP directory. Once it’s completed, feel free to eject the disc image. The pro version costs $59.00 USD and offers more options, and you can compare the two versions for yourself.ĭrag the MAMP folder onto the “Application” shortcut, and the installation will be underway.

It is worth noting, from a portability standpoint, that this component can be run only from your desktop environment and cannot be installed on a USB drive. By installing this application, we can have a virtual server locally as our development sandbox. Ever opened a contact form in a browser from your desktop and wondered why it doesn’t work? The server-side components cannot operate without (in this case) the PHP back end, and this is where MAMP comes in. MAMP, which stands for Macintosh, Apache, MySQL and PHP, is an application that allows you to install a local server-type environment in order to construct websites that would normally require you be on a live server somewhere. ![]() |
