Press Release Summary: "Technology Information Corporation wave solder optimizer
lowers production cost of wave solder process."

Press Release Body: Rockville, Maryland ( ExpressPressRelease ) May 6th, 2008 --
With its documented track record of success, more engineers rely on the Wave
Optimizer to eliminate their wave soldering defects and lower their daily production
costs than any other device in the world.

Today\'s complex boards make wave solder defects among the most expensive process
failures in the PCB assembly industry. While defects are responsible for the high
cost of inspection, touch-up, rework and field failures, href=http://www.techinfocorp.com>Technology Information Corporation\'s
surprisingly simple methods for attacking and eliminating wave soldering defects
like bridges, shorts, insufficients, skips, solder balls and icicles have been
proven and documented at thousands of PCBA facilities throughout the world.

For example, process engineers have learned that the direct measurement of their
boards\' immersion depth in the solder wave is critical to quality, since immersion
depth variations alter dwell time itself, and therefore defect rates. Those
engineers acquiring this daily process data are enjoying less headaches,
dramatically fewer defects, and new accolades from management as touch and rework
have dropped quickly and significantly.

Another popular breakthrough is known as The Secret Technique of Marking Your
Fingers. This method eliminates finger variations as a cause of href=http://www.techinfocorp.com>wave solder defects. This has proven critical
in the elimination of board quality variations and the cause of many bridges and
skips. The new paradigm is that rail-to-wave parallelism cannot possibly ensure
board-to-wave parallelism.

Everybody knows that even when daily process data verifies the repeatability of your
wave machines, this does not mean your board quality will be defect free. The key
is to identify the specific dwell time for each board type that produces the fewest
defects for that particular assembly. This is the giant step forward in wave solder
process control.....engineers now use the methods of wave process optimization,
producing world class quality and the lowest wave soldering costs possible.

By identifying all optimal parameters and maintaining precise repeatability, the
guess work previously required is removed, rework hours are reduced, rejects are
virtually eliminated, and set-up time is shortened. The result: Better boards,
higher throughput and a significant reduction in your daily costs and hassles.

Technology Information Corporation has been
the industry leader in wave solder defect elimination and process control since
1992, and continues to make the wave solder process easier, with better results.
