1. Protoboard A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). A breadboard originally was a flat wooden cutting board used to support a loaf of bread (or other foods) while it was being sliced; this original meaning is still in use, but has a new additional meaning as "a base for prototyping". The concept of "breadboarding" as prototyping is not confined to electronic

Optimizing Printed Circuit Board Production: A Case Study Abstract This paper focuses on the production of 5 different printed circuit boards (PCBs). The purpose of this paper is to understand the best production model to reach maximum profit. It is understood that there are production capacities that will limit the overall amount of products produce. Through the use of Linear Programming we can determine, based on the current circuit boards sale price, the number of each board type the plant needs
