SCREENABLE LATENT DEFECT SCREENABLE LATENT DEFECT A latent defect that is accel- erated to failure by a screen and then detected by test. SCREENING EXPERIMENTS Stress screening applied to pre- production equipment in order to derive data such as screen param- eters for planning the overall Environmental Stress Screening program. SCREENING REGIMEN A combination of stress screens applied to equipment, identified in the order of application (i.e., assembly, unit and system screens). SCREENING STRENGTH The probability that a specific screen will precipitate a latent defect to failure and detect it by test, given that a latent defect susceptible to the screen is present. It is the prod- uct of precipitation efficiency and detection efficiency. SCREEN PARAMETERS Parameters that relate to screening strength. (e.g., vibration G levels, temperature rate of change, and time duration). SCRIBE AND CLEAVE A technique to prepare fibers for termina- tion in which fibers are lightly scribed then pulled apart to produce
