No magic involved. It's part of being a productive engineering
professional. Today I took a 90 minute lunch with my project manager and firmware engineer at a local restaurant. We all had a beer. We do this
almost every friday. We talked about about technical issues on various projects, but also chatted about non-work personal experiences. Our boss
has joined us on several occasions for these lunches. We can do these
things because we're good at our jobs, completing tasks within timelines
and budgets.

This isn't unusual, I've done the same at every job I've had since 1984.
(In fact, at one job I had in the early 2000's we would go to Hooters
every friday and get a pitcher). If you were competent at your jobs, you
wold have enjoyed the same freedoms and perks. It's obvious you weren't.

Thank you for that additional information. We can simply allow the rest of the group make up their own minds about your comments. Obviously rather than teach, Frank merely sat in front of a class with his laptop open and posting to the newsgroup.
Liebermann, when he could find work, did something other than work. John was in the Air Force and he did not even think of posting to the Internet.

Interesting that Krygowski is answering to Flunky.

Because you have a problem with English doesn't mean that everyone does.

Just out of curiosity, what does a "productive engineer" do?

Cheers,

For one thing, he actually knows what engineering is.

that leaves you out, mr. "pwm is used to test cables".

Remember when Liebermann and
Flunky demanded me to "prove" I was an engineer by showing how many patents I had?

I don't remember jeff ever asking for your patents, he may have.

I've never asked for your patents. There's no need. The blindingly
ignorant statements you make are more than enough for me to know that
you were never an engineer.

They might as well asked you to prove how important your were in the same manner. Crew Chiefs were an integral part of a team to maintain the airworthiness of an aircraft But that had to be said about every member in the chain.

We can saythat you could outline evertything you did in a day, but from Flunky we get nothing but generalizations.

Want some detail? sure. One of the tasks I'm currently leading are lab
tests on a new product to document thermal characteristics of intrinsic safety protective components on Zone 0 outputs under both internal and external fault conditions of the new product we're releasing. The math
shows we're within the safety margins but it's close enough that the regulatory agency wants empirical data.

I'm also running the root cause failure analysis (technical segment of
an 8D analysis) on some customer returns that all exhibited the same
failure within a few days of each other. The Intrinsic Safety protection resistors on one output sensor drive channel literally burned out (same channel on 4 units). This is a failure that has never been recorded in
the 40+ year history of the product (current customer installed base of nearly 50,000 units), so we're doubtful it's a design flaw, but need to
prove it.

Another nagging issue is working with the Firmware engineer to mitigate
bit error rates on a Maxim (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) 1-wire communication protocol that needs to go through an Intrinsic Safety
barrier. The barrier inherently pushes the electrical tolerance limits
for error free communication, but we're hamstrung by the barrier requirements, so we're working on a firmware solution.

Then of course there are the numerous regulatory updates I deal with on
a regular basis, including my participation on a few technical
committees (one UL, two IEC) reviewing and updating various Hazard
Location standards.

That's a snapshot of what a productive engineer does. They don't make
claims about PWM being use to test cables of that 'light lines' are a
common term for fiber optic data cables.

You mindless dumbshit, you agreed with every word that Liebermann said even when he was criticizing you

Krygowski, that is terrible grammar that Jobst would correct. And you as nothing would opretend superiority because you're a native English speaker.

:-) WHOOSH! Right over Tom's head! :-)

Those who can, do, and those who can't, teach. You are on a bicycle technical group, and you don't know the first thing about modern bicycles. Does that make you proud?
