SMT Placement Equipment
SMT (surface mount technology) component placement systems, commonly called pick-and-place machines or P&Ps, are robotic machines which are used to place surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto a printed circuit board (PCB). They are used for high speed, high precision placing of broad range of electronic components, like capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits onto the PCBs which are in turn used in computers, consumer electronics as well as industrial, medical, automotive, military and telecommunications equipment. Similar equipment exists for through hole components. This type of equipment is sometimes also used to package microchips using the flip chip method.

Sugar as Snow Analog in Penetration Testing
Understanding the mechanical properties of snow and ice is necessary for the efficient design and construction of cold regions infrastructure. Testing and evaluation is most commonly undertaken in situ or using samples within cold labs. However, there is an inevitable uncertainty as to the accuracy of results obtained from ex situ testing. Therefore, development of suitable proxies for snow, such as sugar or foam, is valuable, potentially enabling further research in this field.

Survivability Assessment
Survivability assessment can be defined as the method by which the penetration performance of a protective material is measured. The key metric here is how effective the material is at dissipating energy throughout its molecular matrix, thereby protecting the material’s integrity and providing enhanced protection to the user from both ballistic and non-ballistic threats.

Prepay Mobile Phone
A prepay mobile device (also commonly referred to as pay-as-you-go (PAYG), pay-as-you-talk, pay and go, go-phone or prepaid) is a mobile device such as a phone for which credit is purchased in advance of service use. The purchased credit is used to pay for telecommunications services at the point the service is accessed or consumed. If there is no credit, then access is denied by the mobile network. Users can top up their credit at any time using a variety of payment mechanisms. The alternative billing method (and what is commonly referred to as a mobile contract) is the postpaid mobile phone, where a user enters into a long-term (lasting 12, 18 or 24 months) or short-term (also commonly referred to as a rolling contract or a 30-day contract) billing arrangement with a mobile network operator or carriage service provider (CSP). "Pay-as-you-go", "PAYG", and similar terms are also used for other non-telecommunications services paid for in the same way.

UX in AR-Supported Industrial Human–Robot Collaborative Tasks
The fourth industrial revolution is promoting the Operator 4.0 paradigm, originating from a renovated attention towards human factors, growingly involved in the design of modern, human-centered processes. New technologies, such as augmented reality or collaborative robotics are thus increasingly studied and progressively applied to solve the modern operators’ needs. Human-centered design approaches can help to identify user’s needs and functional requirements, solving usability issues, or reducing cognitive or physical stress.
