This book describes for readers various technical outcomes from the EU-project IoSense. The authors discuss sensor integration, including LEDs, dust sensors, LIDAR for automotive driving and 8 more, demonstrating their use in simulations for the design and fabrication of sensor systems.  Readers will benefit from the coverage of topics such as sensor technologies for both discrete and integrated innovative sensor devices, suitable for high volume production, electrical, mechanical, security and software resources for integration of sensor system components into IoT systems and IoT-enabling systems, and IoT sensor system reliability.Describes from component to system level simulation, how to use the available simulation techniques for reaching a proper design with good performance;Explains how to use simulation techniques such as Finite Elements, Multi-body, Dynamic, stochastics and many more in the virtual design of sensor systems;Demonstrates the integration of several sensor solutions (thermal, dust, occupancy, distance, awareness and more) into large-scale system solutions in several industrial domains (Lighting, automotive, transport and more);Includes state-of-the-art simulation techniques, both multi-scale and multi-physics, for use in the electronic industry.

This book describes the latest progress in reliability analysis of microelectronic products. More importantly, this book tries to present methodologies and useful approaches in analyzing a failure and in relating a failure to the reliability of electronic devices.

This book describes the latest progress in reliability analysis of microelectronic products. The content grows out of an EU project, named  Intelligent Reliability 4.0 - iRel40 (see www.irel40.eu ).  Different industrial sectors and topics are covered, such as electronics in automotive, rail transport, lighting and personal appliances.  Several case studies and examples are discussed, which will enable readers to assess and mitigate similar failure cases. More importantly, this book tries to present methodologies and useful approaches in analyzing a failure and in relating a failure to the reliability of electronic devices.

In the past four years we have witnessed rapid development in technology and significant market penetration in many applications for LED systems. New processes and new materials have been introduced; new standards and new testing methods have been developed; new driver, control and sensing technologies have been integrated; and new and unknown failure modes have also been presented. In this book, Solid State Lighting Reliability Part 2, we invited the experts from industry and academia to present the latest developments and findings in the LED system reliability arena. Topics in this book cover the early failures and critical steps in LED manufacturing; advances in reliability testing and standards; quality of colour and colour stability; degradation of optical materials and the associated chromaticity maintenance; characterization of thermal interfaces; LED solder joint testing and prediction; common failure modes in LED drivers; root causes for lumen depreciation; corrosion sensitivity of LED packages; reliability management for automotive LEDs, and lightning effects on LEDs.This book is a continuation of Solid State Lighting Reliability: Components to Systems (published in 2013), which covers reliability aspects ranging from the LED to the total luminaire or system of luminaires. Together, these two books are a full set of reference books for Solid State Lighting reliability from the performance of the (sub-) components to the total system, regardless its complexity.
