Full textThe purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore and find out the criteria that leaders of corporate boards in Ghana consider in appointing non-executive directors. Twenty for-profit corporations made the sample size for interviews and observations. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with convenient and willing board chairmen. The interviews involved open-ended questions about competencies and qualifications looked for in board member candidates. Data from secondary sources such as curriculum vitae of existing non-executive board members were reviewed to validate data. The QSR NVivo 8 software product was used to code and analyze the research data into themes. QSR is a software package that analyzes data for themes in words, sentences, or paragraphs of electronic written data, often discovering themes the human eye could miss. Nine themes emerged representing criteria considered in selecting and appointing non-executive directors. The criteria identified were independent mind, expertise and experience, availability of the prospective appointee, entrepreneurial orientation, proving integrity, leadership orientation, good academic background, networking advantage, and trusted friends. The results of the research may ensure the appointment of right persons to corporate boards for good corporate governance in Ghana and high profitability in organizations. The Ghana government may incorporate in the corporate governance regulations standard criteria for appointment of non-executive directors to all boards of organizations.

Full textMany corporations use whiteboards to visualize the work process. A common method for this is the so called Kanban boards, a system of tables and notes to indicate different deviations or parts in a project with dates and other relevant information. Companies can also choose to use software that simulates the same method, one example of this is the so called Electronic kanban board. In this paper, both of these methods (whiteboard and a digital solution) were observed in three different companies on behalf of a management consultancy in Stockholm who use Kanban boards and similar methods with their clients. A small market research was carried out by studying the functions of existing electronic Kanban boards as well as a literature review of existing research on the topic. Many problems were discovered with existing working methods such as complications with security and problems with sharing boards to people who are not locally present. In this work, a proposed solution is presented and partially implemented. The proposal was developed through an iterative design process and ongoing discussions with the employer, where focus has been placed on the interaction. The final prototype was tested with some potential end-users by allowing them to perform simple tasks with the program and then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the interaction experience. Finally, the software was demonstrated to the employers and other management consultants. The proposal was approved for further development and a large touch screen was purchased for further experiments.

Nas instalações elétricas de baixa tensão de uma planta industrial está concentrado grande parte do custo necessário para sua construção. Nesse contexto, os cabos elétricos são o item mais relevante e poucas iniciativas visando sua redução têm sido notadas. Apesar dos limites impostos pelas normativas vigentes e pelos próprios usuários dessas plantas, existem medidas que podem levar a redução do custo dos cabos elétricos, entre elas, a alocação inteligente dos quadros de distribuição na baixa tensão. O objetivo desse trabalho é definir uma metodologia para o posicionamento ótimo desses quadros de distribuição, minimizando o custo dos cabos elétricos dentro de uma área onde as cargas a serem alimentadas estão posicionadas de modo fixo. São definidas algumas restrições ao posicionamento dos quadros e também é preparada uma interface gráfica que facilita a interpretação dos resultados. Faz-se então uma comparação dos resultados obtidos com dados reais de uma instalação industrial cujo projeto básico fora realizado da forma tradicional, sem uso de qualquer técnica inteligente para a alocação dos quadros de distribuição. Dessa comparação nota-se que o potencial de redução pode alcançar mais de 40 porcento do custo dos cabos elétricos previsto pelo projeto básico. A redução na quantidade de cabos elétricos trás vários efeitos colaterais positivos, entre eles a redução das perdas por efeito Joule e a redução nas emissões de CO2 cujos impactos são mensurados também. Por fim, são lançadas ideias para a evolução da metodologia de modo que sua aplicação seja mais abrangente e simples, preparando-a para o uso em qualquer situação, como uma nova ferramenta dos projetos elétricos.
In electrical installations of low voltage of an industrial plant is concentrated much of the cost required for its construction. In this context, the electrical wires are the most important item and few initiatives aimed at their reduction has been noted. Despite the limitations imposed by current regulations and by the users of these plants, there are steps that can lead to reducing the cost of electric cables, among them the intelligent allocation of switchboards at low voltage. The aim of this study is to define a methodology for the optimal positioning of these distribution boards, minimizing the cost of electrical cables within an area where the loads to be fed are positioned permanently. A graphical interface that facilitates the interpretation of results are set some restrictions on placement of tables and is also prepared. Then it makes a comparison of the results with real data of an industrial installation whose basic design was done the traditional way, without using any smart technique for allocation of the switchboard. This comparison we note that the reduction potential can reach more than 40 percent of the cost of electric cables provided by the basic design. The reduction in the amount of electrical cables behind several positive side effects, including reducing losses by Joule effect and the reduction in CO2 emissions whose impacts are measured as well. Finally, ideas are thrown to the evolution of the methodology so that their application is more comprehensive and simple to prepare it for use in any situation, as a new tool of electrical projects.

Crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) are constant problems in the design of RF circuits. There have been several studies to analyze and improve isolation of transmission lines, but the focus has been mainly on digital circuits or the isolation goals have been on the order of 40-60 dB. When the isolation goals are much more stringent, such as 80-100 dB, much of a designer’s time is still spent ensuring that a circuit meets isolation and EMI constraints. This typically involves the use of extensive metal shielding over a circuit board. This thesis presents results from an isolation and EMI study to provide a simple reference that can be applied to typical substrates, provided proper scaling is used between substrates. The results in this thesis are reported from DC to 30 GHz using a low cost 4-layer FR4 process. The changes in isolation between various transmission lines types are investigated while varying line separation and length. It is shown that isolation between ground-backed coplanar waveguide (GBCPW) and stripline traces can reach 100dB through L-band and 60dB through Ku-band for 1.3in traces separated by 150mils. Due to the heavy usage of filters in RF design, the isolation between edge-coupled bandpass filters is also studied. It is seen that isolation levels of 100dB through L-band by enclosing the filters within stripline technology is possible, provided that signal launches and layer transitions are carefully designed. Within the passband of the 20 GHz filter tested, the isolation is less but is still significantly improved by use of enclosed stripline. Lastly, a preliminary assessment of EMI is presented which focuses on radiation levels as well as variables that can degrade isolation performance. The data illustrated in this thesis can provide guidance in the early stages of RF circuit design to determine appropriate structures to meet given design requirements. It also helps to assess the degree to which additional metal shielding can be avoided in PC board systems that use multi-layer technologies.

As the performance of digital electronic components improves, maintaining the integrity of high-frequency signals through circuit boards becomes increasingly challenging. The dimensions and material parameters of in-plane circuit board features, such as striplines, microstrips and co-planar waveguides are tuned to control signal impedance. Conventional multi-layer vertical interconnects, which connect between board layers, are not impedance matched to the in-plane signal traces. Multi-connection vias, developed in this thesis, provide a method for matching the impedance of vertical and in-plane features by forming co-cylindrical waveguides. Solutions from a high-frequency full-wave solver provide insight into field interactions within multi-connection vias; and results from these simulations and signal integrity experiments indicate impedance "tuneability" by adjusting the multi-connection via dimensions. The results also suggest that features can be impedance-matched independent of via diameter. Multi-connection vias are formed by creating distinct conductor paths within cylindrical plated through-holes. The thesis explores several alternative manufacturing methods for fabricating these features. A specialized broaching machine and carbide-insert broaches were used to manufacture multi-connection vias for signal integrity experiments. Models of the broach tool and cutting force simulations resulted in several iterations of the broach design.
(cont.) Broaching multi-connection vias is challenging due to the small diameters and high aspect ratios of plated through-holes, as well as the unique copper-epoxy/resin material. Since the broaching process prefers larger plated through-holes to permit larger broach tools, a new method was developed to analyze the cumulative connection density of multi-connection via arrays. Multi-connection vias provide fertile ground for the development of corollary electronic products. Simulations for connector launches indicate that via impedance control can extend to board-mounted devices and connectors. Products that may benefit from multi-connection vias include by-pass capatrs, IC packages, test probes and pogo pins. The thesis presents a road map for commercializing multi-connection vias. Elements of the roadmap ... integration of new signal routability constraints in CAD/CAM software, manufacturing processes, machine tool design, board testing, and durability.
