Defeat Intermittents editorial in T&MW... “Universal Synaptics has a neat piece of high-tech test equipment”… “The company is small, but my recent visit convinced me that what it lacks in size, it makes up for in technology and the ability to accurately locate intermittent problems”… “I saw their equipment and it works”! More... - John Titus, Editorial Director, Test & Measurement World After their exhaustive 6-month evaluation of the IFD technology... “Meets or exceeds all published specifications... We recommend it's use for the detection of intermittent faults on expected aircraft failures, as well as LRU bench testing and environmental testing of spacecraft where applicable”. - Boeing, Shared Services Group On what is required for intermittence testing... “Only parallel and true analog analysis can even hope to detect and correctly identify this problem”… “Universal Synaptics Corp. now provides a massively parallel intermittent fault detector”… “to do analysis of everything from internal unit wiring to airframe harnesses in situ..” More... - Walter Shawlee 2, Avionics Magazine After their first day of IFD intermittence testing... “Just wanted to let you know... Everything went extremely well... Everything was awesome." - A.Whyte., Modern Technologies Corporation (MTC) On the IFD technology and proposed intermittence testing at NASA/USA... I was briefed on it, and it is very good technology!... - Jake Garn, former U.S. Senator and Space Shuttle Astronaut on KUTV's Channel 2 News On the IFD's inclusion in the Joint Strike Fighter's down-selection, during their report on desired test technology... "The only fix for airborne intermittents while on the ground" - JSF Program Office No Fault Found frustrations and why this problem is so prevalent and endemic in the avionics industries… “It is fair to say that the nature and design of a test automatically predetermines the result”. - Walter Shawlee 2, Avionics Magazine This sage advice applies directly to all the national Aging Aircraft “wiring studies”. No wire testing study to-date has had any planned intermittence in their testbeds even though intermittent failures are the primary way a wire or other connectivity element fails as a result of the normal aging processes. Since intermittence as a failure mode was overlooked by all of these major research studies, no vendors of intermittence detection specific/capable test equipment (to any meaningful degree) participated in their technology evaluations. The end result is that these studies evaluated a vendor's ability to find only hard opens or shorts in aircraft wiring specifically and ignored all the other intermittency prone connectivity elements that comprise an aircraft system. Since they have never evaluated test equipment capable of seeing the full extent of the intermittence problem, they do not see it's direct relation to the massive NFF problem and thus their results have fallen far short of the desired mark to identify and rectify the underlying problems associated with safety, reliability and wasted maintenance efforts..
