Optimization of Glycosyation & Charge Distribution Through Culture Parameters...KBI Biopharma
This document summarizes three case studies conducted by Kinetic Biosciences Inc. regarding process optimization. Case Study 1 describes using a PAT approach involving daily charge variant testing to determine the optimal harvest day in three cGMP runs. Case Study 2 demonstrates how supplements can be used to customize product quality attributes like glycosylation. Case Study 3 shows that adding copper to the culture improved viability, titer and reproducibility that had been inconsistent due to variable pH changes after feeding. The document emphasizes the importance of analytics and surrogate markers in process development.

Éviter les pièges du waterfall dans un contexte de livraison de projet agile:...Agile Montréal
L'agile Testing commence par la mise en place d'outils et événements agiles au sein des "équipes de tests" (scrum, retro, sprints, etc.), mais cela ne suffit pas à faire de l'agile : la composition et l'organisation des équipes est cruciale. Dans un contexte agile, il est impératif que la collaboration entre les testeurs et développeurs soit quasi symbiotique afin d'éviter de retomber dans des pratiques waterfall (en séquence) au sein de l'agile.

Semiconductor manufacturers are driven to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) through innovative ways. Increasing effectiveness of human-machine operations requires investment in technologies and SEMI industry standards to maximize overall labor effectiveness. The document recommends capitalizing on informal learning environments where most employee knowledge transfer occurs, and investing in the PBET methodology and knowledge sharing to preserve intellectual capital and improve production efficiencies and ROI.
This document summarizes the services of a technical training specialist, including developing quantifiable staff improvement efforts using web-based technologies and social learning initiatives. The specialist has experience designing blended certification programs with web-based, multimedia, and interactive components to provide hands-on hardware and software exposure virtually for process and equipment-based employee training. Their goal is to address challenges in effective performance-based employee training by developing alternative resources to support requirements.
The Extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction theory provides an analytic solution to the diffraction integral that describes image formation by optical systems. This thesis presents the ENZ theory as well as two of its applications. First, an ENZ imaging model is constructed that accurately simulates image formation with few approximations. Second, it is shown that the aberrations of an optical system can be determined from intensity measurements of a point object image alone, providing an alternative to interferometric methods. Examples illustrate the potential of the ENZ formalism for simulating and analyzing advanced optical imaging systems with high accuracy.
1) Nikon reported a 17% increase in net sales and a substantial gain in operating income for the first quarter compared to the previous year.
2) Precision equipment sales increased 48% due to market recovery, reducing the operating loss.
3) Imaging sales grew 10% despite currency impacts, through higher sales of SLR cameras and lenses.
4) Full year forecasts were revised upward for net sales but downward for operating income due to uncertain economic conditions.
ASML reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2010, with record gross margin and operating margin. Total sales increased to €1.069 billion, up 43% year-over-year. Backlog also reached a record high of €2.401 billion, reflecting increasing demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Looking forward, ASML expects semiconductor fab spending to continue rising in 2010 and 2011 as the industry transitions to smaller node sizes, requiring significantly more immersion lithography tools.
Semiconductor manufacturing roadmaps are contingent upon the lithography tool supplier product. EUV appears to be a viable alternative to DP/HP immersion. ASML details their EUV roadmap, and offers specifications and a look at upgrades for next node product.

With semiconductor manufacturing efficiency improvement efforts primarily focused upon equipment technologies, KBI recognizes that overall labor effectiveness (OLE) improvement efforts will soon be required to support that industries performance improvement goals and maintain pace with laws governing the industry . Illinois State University published this research paper which clearly defines the strategies incorporated with the KBI Performance Series line of learning products. (KBI has published a WBT product to summarize the research and draw parallels to benefits the semiconductor manufacturing community may realize. Visit our website http://www.knowledgebrokerinc.com)
HP Laboratories probes key behavioral factors which influence the development of social learning strategies. KBI combines simulator design and social learning strategies observed by cutting edge company research to develop valuable performance support and improvement tools for the semi-conductor manufacturing community.
This document discusses the ISMI Efficiency Improvement Initiative's goals of improving semiconductor equipment productivity, which impacts factory capacity, manufacturing costs, and production schedules. It calls for improvement efforts to align goals, provide analytical support, and standardize solutions. Modern performance-based strategies that leverage human performance could yield 10-30% gains. The document proposes a collaboration between ISMI and Knowledge Broker Inc. to exchange information that aligns with goals, relies on substantiated analysis, and follows standards, in order to contribute to the initiative's improvement efforts.
ISMI has identified improving their overall equipment effectiveness rate as a primary goal to better meet the increasing performance demands outlined by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. They believe equipment providers are inadequately addressing or not addressing improvement at all. Leveraging theories from behavioral science and models being examined at leading universities, one approach is to link knowledge with assets, apply measurable adjustments to improve performance over time. A proposed training system solution would integrate key tools and processes into a social contribution effort, applying the reusable ADL standard to maximize knowledge redistribution for on-demand opportunities.
