This work introduces an unpublished technique for extracting data from flash memory chips, especially from Ball Grid Array (BGA) components. This technique does not need any heating of the chip component, as opposed to infrared or hot air de-soldering. In addition, it avoids the need of re-balling BGA in case of missing balls at the wrong place. Thus it enhances the quality and integrity of the data extraction. However, this technique is destructive for the device motherboard and has limitations when memory chip content is encrypted. The technique works by subtracting matter by micro-milling, without heating. The technique has been extensively used in about fifty real cases for more than one year. It is named frigida via, compared to the calda via of infrared heating.
To explore the meaning of “global culture” in a professional communication context, this paper explores the “unsettled” global culture of Vatel, a private business school educating students from nearly 50 different countries for the hospitality industry. This paper explores the role of knowledge management in understanding global culture, arguing that the notion of “unsettled” cultures demonstrates how ideologies function in global settings and draw on national “settled” cultural resources. In unpacking different aspects of Vatel's culture this paper questions assumptions built into cultural frames of reference by offering a global culture frame, drawing on cultural resources from country based “settled” cultural contexts, and reflects on how global cultural contexts can benefit from a knowledge management approach to this dynamic between “settled” cultural contexts and “unsettled” cultural ideologies that frame global cultural experiences. This approach to culture offers an opportunity for professional and technical communicators to reflect on global cultural contexts in the workplace.

This article describes a multi-modal routing problem, which occurs each time a user wants to travel from a point A to a point B, using either ride-sharing or public transportation. The main idea is to start from an itinerary using public transportation, and then substitute part of this itinerary by ride-sharing. We first define a closeness estimation between the user’s itinerary and available drivers. This allows to select a subset of potential drivers. We then compute sets of driving quickest paths, and design a substitution process. Finally, among all admissible solutions, we select the best one based on the earliest arrival time. We provide numerical results using benchmarks based on geographical maps, public transportation timetabling and simulated requests and driving paths. Our numerical experiment shows a running time of a few seconds, suitable for a new real-time transportation application.
