SURFACE MOUNTED OLEO-SENSOR ON SYSTEM BOARDS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF BURNING OR OVER HEATED CHIPS

摘要

Changing defective system boards and mother boards on critical functional machines and computers is a costly process. It means delay on production time when in manufacturing or delay on software release on critical software development team when their most trusted and reliable hardware break down because of just one faulty burnt chip. When incidence like this happens, there is a series of events that will follow, a domino effect that is. This can hurt the whole team and the company in general not just loss in time, but also loss in productivity, loss in profit and worst, clients and customers loss. There is no way that the technicians and engineers can detect this hazard in such a minute and a small scale environment like the system boards in our computers, servers, and production machines. There is no sophisticated way to detect in advance such failure but to manually investigate the system itself. This paper aims to present the feasibility of a system and method that will automatically and intelligently detect in advance scenarios like a burning chip or overheated chip inside the system board using a systematically designed Oleo-sensor system that is by itself mounted in the surface of the system board. The underlying Oleo-sensor system is theoretically designed to used smart materials like Carbon-Nano Fiber as receptor.
