Lasers and PCB Rework
|
|
There
are instances when a rework has to be performed when solder mask needs
to be removed selectively from different portions of the PCB. Laser
methods have the advantage of control, cleanliness and precision over
other traditional mask scraping techniques such as mask scraping and
micro abrasion. More info

USB Device Recovery
|
We realize that losing data can be a stressful and sometimes
overwhelming experience. Months or even years worth of work, finances,
digital photographs and more can seemingly disappear in an instant.
Whether you are a CIO or IT Manager, or use your home computer just for
email, or somewhere in-between, we can help you recover your valuable
data. Recovery from physically damaged USB devices are just one of the
many services we provide. Even if your device is snapped in half, we
may be able to help. With more and more devices finding their way onto
keychains, the potential for unintentional damage is on the rise. We help you recover lost files, data and images from USB drives.

3 expensive habits to break 
Bad habit No. 1 Letting vegetables and other groceries go bad in your
fridge. This is one of those areas of life that's bad for
both our wallets and our souls.
Solution: Be realistic
not optimistic about how many veggies and fruits you and other people in your
household are likely to eat in a given week. Else buy frozen vegetables that
can be whipped up at a moment's notice.
Bad habit No. 2 Paying for services that you might be
able to do yourself at least some of the time. It's
unlikely that our Depression-era relatives would be able to comprehend the
notion of paying other people to clean our homes, maintain our lawns, wash our
cars, color our hair and paint our toenails and fingernails for us.
Solution: Could
you save money by reducing the frequency of some of these services? Could you
try handling these tasks yourself all or some of the time?
Bad habit No. 3 Buying stuff at top dollar without
even trying to be a bargain hound. This tip applies to books,
clothes, exercise equipment, outdoor gear ... everything! It's always possible to
time a sale or a bargain. Retailers are counting on you to make impulse
purchases of nonsale items - but you don't have to give in to that temptation.
Solution: Buy
something gently used for a fraction of the top-dollar price. Shop at
the right time. The stores you love will have several big sales
throughout the year. Shop online the right way. Visit the Web
sites of your favorite stores and click on any link that says "sale," "new
markdowns" or "final clearance."
