Printed Circuit Board layout involves the skillful placement of the required components in order to facilitate the routing process and minimize or satisfy size constraints. In this paper, we present the application to this problem of a general system, which is able to combine knowledge-based and search-based solving and which has a meta-level layer to control it's reasoning. Results have shown ...

The effect of Birth Order on Personality has remained a debated research topic with studies favouring and not favouring the possible impacts. While there has been substantial research separately on Birth Order and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scarcely can we find studies relating Birth Orders with various sub-scales of PWB.The present study was thus conducted amongst students of Mysore (n=273...

Printed circuit board design complexity increases greatly as bus speeds exceed 100 MHz. This increased complexity is due more to the large number of simulations a designer must complete rather than simulation or modeling accuracy. This paper presents the case for these increased numbers of simulations, and presents techniques for managing this complexity.

Open educational resources have gained very much attention after their evolution in 2002 a forum of UNESCO. A worldwide action has been taken on its creation and sharing. Although the government collaboration with institutions is running many projects to create share open as research shows, there still little awareness about among users. Many people are unaware licensing mechanism under which a...

Integration of optical interconnections on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is very challenging, as it should remain compatible with existing PCB manufacturing technology. We will describe the use of laser ablation, already used in PCB manufacturing for microvia’s, as a suitable technique for the fabrication of multimode waveguides and micromirrors to provide optical coupling. The focus is on abla...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new test method for detecting an open lead which occurs when an IC is mounted on a printed circuit board. In the method, an open lead is detected by observing output logical change of an open lead detector. Since the test method is a vectorless test one, test generation and test input application are not needed. Testability of the test method is examined by...
