It is applicable in the UK and the EU. It has been criticised for its disregard for reuse or repair as a means of reducing e-waste." current
- 17:0217:02, 23 April 2024 diff hist +308 N Glossary:Soak test Created page with "A soak test is an extended test of a device following manufacture or repair, with the aim of shaking out any manufacturing defects or shortcomings in the repair. Sometimes this will be performed at full power or in some other way designed to stress any weak components and precipitate any incipient failures." current
- 16:5516:55, 23 April 2024 diff hist +441 N Glossary:Bathtub curve Created page with "Reliability studies in many fields tend to show a common pattern for failures. Manufacturing defects are the principal cause of early life failures, but once these have all been shaken out the failure rate remains fairly low through the expected lifetime of a device. The failure rate then starts to climb as components begin to wear out. So plotting the failure rate against time gives a U-shaped curve, commonly known as the bathtub curve." current

Common examples are ink and toner cartridges and laptop batteries, could equally include a laptop given a new case, keyboard and battery." current
- 14:5914:59, 23 April 2024 diff hist +379 N Glossary:Recycling Created page with "Recycling is the practice of recovering raw materials from waste items. This is generally inefficient and often impracticable or uneconomic for valuable materials used in small quantities. Furtthermore the resultant raw materials may not be of sufficient quality for demanding applications. Hence it is regarded as the second-worst option, ahead only of landfill or incineration."
- 14:5014:50, 23 April 2024 diff hist +248 N Glossary:Circular economy Created page with "A circular economy is one where a minimum of items or their parts are sent for landfill or incineration, and a high proportion are either reused, repaired or recycled, so minimising the consumption of raw materials and the pre-use carbon footprint." current
- 14:4514:45, 23 April 2024 diff hist +201 N Glossary:Repair Created page with "Repair is the second option (after reuse) in a circular economy. It has been shown that many devices sent for recycling could actually be repaired relatively easily and hence given a new lease of life." current
- 14:4214:42, 23 April 2024 diff hist +225 N Glossary:Reuse Created page with "Reuse is the preferred option in a circular economy. Many items are discarded because they have been replaced by a newer model, or simply fallen into disuse, but could be given a second life if sold or donated to a new owner." current

In electronics, many compounds of gallium are semiconductors with useful properties. Gallium arsenide devices are able to operate at much higher frequencies than their silicon counterparts and so are widely used in mobile phones and satellite comunications. Various other gallium compounds are used in practically all visible and infra-red LEDs." current

In recent years silicon carbide devices such as MOSFETs having higher voltage and power ratings than equivalent silicon devices have been increasingly used in applications such as EVs and power conversion."

Whilst there are numerous variants, just a few are or have been in common use. DB-9 (more correctly DE-9) and DB-25 were ubiqitus on home and personal computers as the serial (COM) and paralel ports before being displaced by USB, and DE-15 is still used for VGA video connectors."
