    old Fortran to new Matlab?

    matclau, By "old fortran" do you mean Fortran 77? If so, there are several commercially-available Fortran compilers that should be able to compile it, even if they are Fortran 90 or Fortran 95 compilers. You can certainly find someone to edit it so that it conforms to Fortran 95 or even port...

    What does "safe" mean to you?

    In scanning this thread I may have missed it, but in case it wasn't mentioned, here's a link to US DoD standards, handbooks, and specifications, including MIL-STD-882 "System Safety", which defines safety in terms of both probability of occurrence and severity of consequences of occurence...

    US Army searchable database?

    You might try getting in touch with the US Army Materiel Command (AMC), website http://www.amc.army.mil . I believe they (or their subordinate commands) manage many of the technical data packages for the Army's legacy systems. You might also try the office of the Assistant Secretary of the...

    Effect of weather on 304 S/S

    If you're building something with many welds you might consider 304L instead of 304 as the 304L has a lower carbon content, thus helping prevent the formation of chromium carbides that can lead to intergranular corrosion mcguire mentioned Allegheny Ludlum in the previous post. Their data sheet...

    Static

    I agree with IRstuff that more information on the application is needed. Also, what do you define as "cheap"? An increase in humidity is indeed one solution (or part of the solution), as IRstuff suggested, but there are also mats, dissipative clothing, wrist bands, leg bands, coatings, sprays...

    Failure Rates

    The original poster might want to contact the Reliability Analysis Center (http://rac.alionscience.com) and see about getting a copy of their publication NPRD-95 "Nonelectronic Parts Data". For the last poster (mooimooi), you may find MIL-HDBK-338, "Electronic Reliability Design Handbook"...

    Simple Drawing Database

    I'm assuming that your mention of Microsoft Access means you have Excel also. If so, try Excel. You can even include hyperlinks to that you can access the drawings directly from the spreadsheet. Of course, you'll have to manually keep the spreadsheet up to date, but if it is a tiny company...

    What are your biggest frustrations about work?

    I especially love the emails I get like "We need you to propose a solution a.s.a.p. for (insert intended application here). The requirements are still being defined. There isn't a schedule and we don't have any idea how much funding will be available, but we need your attention on this as...
