✦ Synopsis


The hazard rate function is a key tool in reliability theory and represents the instantaneous rate of failure of an item at time t given survival at time t. The hazard rate function of a system of components is closely related to the hazard rate of the components, and we see how this varies as the components vary in k-out-of-n systems. The impact that redundancy has on the hazard rate function of a system is also investigated, and a design problem involving majority logic in the assembly of systems is also considered. The emphasis in the paper is on the use of graphical illustrations of hazard rate functions. 1998

## Abstract The non‐classical 1,2‐diboretane‐3‐ylidene **1a** was studied by ^13^C and ^29^Si NMR spectroscopy in order to obtain coupling constants ^1^__J__(^13^C,^11^B) and ^1^__J__(^29^Si,^13^C). The magnitudes of ^1^__J__(^13^C,^11^B) were deduced from linewidth measurements in low‐temperature
