EZ-FRISK version 8.11 is now available!
This version includes the USGS NGA East Ground Motion Model that was used for NSHM 2018.
This model and optimized to run more quickly than Goulet et al.(2018) added in v8.10.
We will be optimizing Goulet et al. (2018) in the next release.
We have also fixed several bugs and slightly modified the ribbon menu in this release.
Added in version 8.10:
This version brings these new features:
- NGA East Ground Motion Model - Goulet et al. (2018)
- NGA Subduction Ground Motion Models:
- Abrahamson & Gulerce (2020)
- Kuehn et al. (2020)
- Parker et al. (2020)
- Updated and improved Graphical User Interface
- Updated Chart creation and editing tools
- Under the hood performance optimizations
Hot - Juq 158
If you’ve been scrolling through niche forums, tech newsletters, or the occasional Reddit thread, you may have stumbled on the cryptic phrase “juq 158 hot.” It isn’t a typo, a meme, or a brand name you’ve missed—it’s the shorthand that a growing community of hobbyists, engineers, and futurists use to refer to a specific class of high‑temperature, low‑power semiconductor devices that are reshaping several industries.
Below, we explore what “juq 158 hot” actually means, why it matters, and how it could change the way we design everything from electric‑vehicle chargers to space‑grade sensors. | Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | Full designation | Juq‑158 – a proprietary silicon‑carbide (SiC) MOSFET series | | Key spec | Operating temperature up to 158 °C while maintaining ≤ 10 W dissipation at 5 A | | Why “hot”? | The “hot” tag highlights its ability to stay efficient near its thermal limit , a rare trait for SiC devices | | Manufacturer | Developed by QuantumSilicon Labs , a spin‑off from a university research group focused on extreme‑environment electronics | | Release | First announced Q2 2025 , limited‑run production began early 2026 | juq 158 hot
