| Mechanical Shock and Vibration Testing |
| |
| Westpak's test capability includes shock and vibration testing on a broad set of products for many purposes. The mechanical shock machines have seen components as small as integrated circuit packages to data servers on their tables. The vibration testers available are used to evaluate products and packages for design purposes as well as to simulate the effects of the distribution environment. |

| Accelerated Aging Time (AAT) Calculator |
| |
| The Accelerated Aging Time (AAT) Calculator is a useful tool to evaluate what-if scenarios for accelerated shelf life testing time vs. temperature options. This simple tool determines AAT by means of the Arrhenius equation. Inputs are the Desired Real Time (RT) in months, Ambient Temperature, and Aging Factor. You can determine the AAT for any Accelerated Aging Temperature (Taa). |

| Scuff and Abrasion Testing |
| |
| The resistance to abrasion and scuffing, which can occur in manufacturing, transportation, or in-use environments, is often required of products, packaging, and labels. Specialized test machines are used to evaluate abrasion test specimens. Westpak uses a Sutherland Rub Test machine to determine the abrasion resistance of printed materials per ASTM D5264. |

| Parker Solar Probe's Particle Instrumentation |
| |
| Meet EPI-Lo, one of two Energetic Particle Instruments onboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe. There are 80 dime-sized openings that enable electron and ion composition measurements from the sun's corona and solar wind as the probe passes close by at 430,000 mph. EPI-Hi, another instrument, can detect up to 100,000 high-energy particles per second. Over 20 years in the making, the mission should provide a better understanding of solar particles. |

| UV Accelerated Weathering |
| |
| Westpak's accelerated weathering tester reproduces the damage to products caused by sunlight, rain, and dew. In a few days or weeks, the tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors. The test machine exposes test samples to alternating cycles of UV light and moisture at controlled, elevated temperatures. |

| Confirmed: The Open Office Is Worse |
| |
| In a unique 2018 study, Harvard Business School researchers studied data gathered from sensors embedded in employee security badges worn before and after moves from traditional to open office layouts. The researchers found that the open office environment didn't bring positive change as expected. Results: the number of interactions decreased, emails increased, many did their best to look busy, and privacy was sought more frequently. |
