Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) training course covers the theories, concepts, and methods required for DVP&R. Design verification, in general, is a crucial part of any product development. It is a key step in qualification testing, ensuring that the final product is the same as the product was supposed to design and develop. Failing to complete this step can lead to produce and manufacture a product that doesn’t meet the characteristics of the designed product or the prototype.

As you might know, many clients take the testing and design verification of products very seriously, as though in the same importance as the actual design. Even so, many contracts require design verification as a major phase, in which the clients often send their own people to witness testing and to ensure they are conducted to their satisfaction. Therefore, if you are the manager of or a member of the quality, R&D, and design team, you need to know how to conduct design verification and how to prepare the report. The TONEX Design Verification Plan and Report training course will help you gain sufficient knowledge and develop necessary skills to be able to complete DVP&R for your products.

TONEX Design Verification Plan and Report training includes many in-class activities including hands on exercises, case studies and workshops. During the DVP&R workshops, attendees can bring in their own design work and products and through our coaching, develop their own Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R).

While testing might seem costly at first, the price of not having it done can be way higher plus it can negatively affect the reputation of the company in the client’s view if the final product doesn’t meet the promised characteristics.

Testing should be included in the design process at many points, from the very beginning when the concept is developed to the end when the final product is produced. Although type of the tests and the methods vary from one point to another, the general guidelines are applied to all. During the DVP&R training course, we will teach you these guidelines and also teach you how to tailor them based on where, where, and the type of product for which you are conducting the tests.

Historically, DVP&R processes have been practiced by the automotive industry. However, currently such processes are being used in almost all manufacturing industries including mechanical, electrical, chemical, and even pharmaceutical and that’s because a proper Design Verification/Product Validation (DV/PV) can significantly eliminate failure modes and increase the reliability of the product. In this seminar, we will walk you through all the steps of a good, effective DV/PV that is appropriate for your industry.

Why choose TONEX for your RF Safety Training?

RF Safety Training covers RF theory of operations, regulations and RF standards, types of radiation and field effect, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) at RF sites, RF safety signs, hazard assessment, Lock out – Tag out procedures and Personal Protective equipment.

RF Safety training is for anyone who may encounter RF fields or RF exposure, and is required training for employees and sub-contractors in the telecommunications industry.

RF safety training highlights: Radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) radiation are electromagnetic radiation in the frequency ranges 3 kilohertz (kHz) – 300 Megahertz (MHz), and 300 MHz – 300 gigahertz (GHz), respectively. Research continues on possible biological effects of exposure to RF/MW radiation from radios, cellular phones, the processing and cooking of foods, heat sealers, vinyl welders, high frequency welders, induction heaters, flow solder machines, communications transmitters, radar transmitters, ion implant equipment, microwave drying equipment, sputtering equipment and glue curing.

WHAT ARE “RADIOFREQUENCY” AND MICROWAVE RADIATION?

Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (i.e., radiating) through space at the speed of light.  Taken together, all forms of electromagnetic energy are referred to as the electromagnetic “spectrum.”  Radio waves and microwaves emitted by transmitting antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy.  They are collectively referred to as “radiofrequency” or “RF” energy or radiation.  Note that the term “radiation” does not mean “radioactive.”  Often, the terms “electromagnetic field” or “radiofrequency field” may be used to indicate the presence of electromagnetic or RF energy.

The RF waves emanating from an antenna are generated by the movement of electrical charges in the antenna.  Electromagnetic waves can be characterized by a wavelength and a frequency.  The wavelength is the distance covered by one complete cycle of the electromagnetic wave, while the frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves passing a given point in one second.  The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in terms of a unit called the “hertz” (abbreviated “Hz”).  One Hz equals one cycle per second.  One megahertz (“MHz”) equals one million cycles per second.

Different forms of electromagnetic energy are categorized by their wavelengths and frequencies.  The RF part of the electromagnetic spectrum is generally defined as that part of the spectrum where electromagnetic waves have frequencies in the range of about 3 kilohertz (3 kHz) to 300 gigahertz (300 GHz).  Microwaves are a specific category of radio waves that can be loosely defined as radiofrequency energy at frequencies ranging from about 1 GHz upward.

WHAT IS NON-IONIZING RADIATION?

“Ionization” is a process by which electrons are stripped from atoms and molecules.  This process can produce molecular changes that can lead to damage in biological tissue, including effects on DNA, the genetic material of living organisms.  This process requires interaction with high levels of electromagnetic energy.  Those types of electromagnetic radiation with enough energy to ionize biological material include X-radiation and gamma radiation.  Therefore, X-rays and gamma rays are examples of ionizing radiation.

The energy levels associated with RF and microwave radiation, on the other hand, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules, and RF energy is, therefore, is a type of non-ionizing radiation.  Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible and infrared light.  Often the term “radiation” is used, colloquially, to imply that ionizing radiation (radioactivity), such as that associated with nuclear power plants, is present.  Ionizing radiation should not be confused with the lower-energy, non-ionizing radiation with respect to possible biological effects, since the mechanisms of action are quite different.

Attendees attending this class will receive a completion certificate and card complying with OSHA reporting requirements in 29 CFR1910.268.

ARP-4761 Training, Guidelines and Methods for Conducting the Safety Assessment Process on Civil Airborne Systems and Equipment

ARP-4761 Training Course Description

ARP-4761 training provides you with the strategies and techniques to execute safety analysis. Such strategy is relevant with demonstrating compliance with certification criteria (14CFR/CS Parts 23 and 25, section 1309) and helping an organization to fulfill their own unique safety guidelines. The safety procedures explained are mainly relevant with civil avionic gear but the procedures and techniques might be used in several cases.

ARP-4761 training covers the standard data to perform the industry approved safety analysis including Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA), Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA), and System Safety Assessment (SSA). We will discuss different safety evaluation techniques required to implement and perform the safety analysis. We also will teach you various safety evaluation techniques consisting of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Dependence Diagram (DD), Markov Analysis (MA), Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Common Cause Analysis (CCA). CCA is comprised of Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA), Particular Risks Analysis (PRA), and Common Mode Analysis (CMA).

ARP-4761 training teaches you the Safety Assessment Process in avionic systems, as well as incorporating it with other execution procedures. We will discuss the essence of the Reliability Theory and its relevance to airborne systems, equipment specifications and that how they are applied during both the initial and final system safety assessment process.

ARP-4761 training course also considers each of the tools and techniques for performing the Safety Assessment Process, containing real-world scenarios for each of the fundamental methods. We will elaborate precisely how the regulatory structure works and how ARP-4761 fits in. We also explain how ARP-4761 corresponds to other standards for civil airborne systems and equipment, in particular with ARP-4754A.

ARP-4761 training course is mostly dedicated to the practical activities including labs, individual/group activities, and hands-on workshops.

TONEX Workshop Sample: The Wheel Brake System

The Wheel Brake System is installed on the two primary landing tools. Braking on the major apparatus wheels is applied to give support to safe impedance of the airplane during the taxi and landing phases, and also in the case of a rejected take-off. A secondary role of the wheel brake system is to stop the main gear wheel rotation upon gear withdrawal.

Such braking system can be conducted both commanded manually, via brake pedals, or automatically (auto-brake) with no need for pedal use. The auto-brake operation helps the pilot to pre-equip the braking rate before takeoff or landing. When the wheels have traction, the auto-brake operation will regulate the pressure necessary for brake to smooth the deceleration.

Based on the ARP-4761 guideline, discuss:

• Nominal system modeling
  • Braking System Control Unit (BSCU)
  • Hydraulic pressure pumps
  • Isolation valves
  • Selector valve
