A novel test vector compressioddecompression technique is proposed for reducing the amount of test data that must be stored on a tester and transferred to each core when testing a core-based design. A small amount of on-chip circuitry is used to reduce both the test storage and test time required for testing a core-based design. The fully specified test vectors provided by the core vendor are s...

The granular Bond number, defined as the ratio between interparticle attractive forces and particle's weight, can be computed to predict flow behavior of powders. Previous studies used this dimensionless number flowability various pharmaceutical or ceramic powders, exhibiting polydispersed particle size distributions. In paper, we employ a multi-component population-dependent in order apply mod...

The tilt-adaptation aftereffect (TAE) is the phenomenon that prolonged perception of a tilted 'adapter' stimulus affects the perceived tilt of a subsequent 'tester' stimulus. Although it is clear that TAE is strongest when adapter and tester are presented at the same location, the reference frame of the effect is debated. Some authors have reported that TAE is spatiotopic (world centred): It oc...

We describe a procedure for genomic difference cloning, a method for isolating sequences present in one genomic DNA population ("tester") that is absent in another ("driver"). By subtractive hybridization, a large excess of driver is used to remove sequences common to a biotinylated tester, enriching the "target" sequences that are unique to the tester. After repeated subtractive hybridization ...

A new hybrid BIST scheme is proposed which is based on using an “incrementally guided LFSR.” It very efficiently combines external deterministic data from the tester with on-chip pseudo-random BIST. The hardware overhead is very small as a conventional STUMPS architecture [1] is used with only a small modification to the feedback of the LFSR which allows the tester to incrementally guide the LF...

The design of a microcontroller based pacemaker tester is presented in this paper. Both invasive and noninvasive (transthoracic) pacemakers can be tested using this device. Two test loads are provided; a 500 ohms load for testing invasive pacemakers and a 50 ohms load for testing non-invasive pacemakers. A two line LCD display is used to indicate the test parameters, test results and the test i...

We consider the tasks of testing and spot-checking for data streams. These testers and spotcheckers are potentially useful in real-time or near real-time applications that process huge data sets. Crucial aspects of the computational model include the space complexity of the testers and spot-checkers (ideally much lower than the size of the input stream) and the number of passes that the tester ...

This paper presents an extensible and reusable framework which addresses the problem of video quality assessment over IP networks. The proposed tool (referred to as Video-Tester) supports raw uncompressed video encoding and decoding. It also includes different video over IP transmission methods (i.e.: RTP over UDP unicast and multicast, as well as RTP over TCP). In addition, it is furnished wit...

We have developed an improved subtractive hybridization method that provides a fast, simple and reliable isolation of desired different sequences from two compared DNA libraries, one of which contains all unwanted homologues (subtracter) and another contains certain desired heterologues (tester). The DNA library can be made from either mRNA or genomic DNA. An excess amount of modified subtracte...
