A new hiemrchical compactor capable of compacting and pitchmatching hiemrchically defined layouts is described. The hiemrchrcal compactor can handle most input hiemrchres including multr-level hierarchies, over the cell routing and cell rotations and reflections. The compactor simultaneously compacts the contents of all the cells of the layout hiemrchy maintaining the hierarchy of the input lay...

This paper deals with the design and identification of the dynamic model of a compactor, an articulated frame steering mobile engine for use in road construction. A classical approach based on an Ordinary Least Squares identification method is used. A survey of these techniques is given and applied to estimate dynamic parameters of the compactor, and especially the contribution of the contact s...

Space compaction of test responses provides parallel access to functional outputs and reduces delays on functional paths between cores. We present a new space compaction approach for IP cores that only uses information about the fault-free responses for a precomputed test set T . It does not make any assumption about an underlying fault model, and it does not make use of any structural informat...

We present1 an efficient space compaction method which propagates all realistic errors that can appear at the outputs of a circuit under test in response to a precomputed test set. Since the proposed method does not rely on structural information of the circuit under test, it can be readily applied to intellectual property (IP) cores. Space compaction of test responses for IP cores provides par...

In many pharmaceutical process operations, first-principle models describing the behavior of the processed powders are difficult to derive or computationally very expensive and thus can be considered as “black-box” processes. Kriging is an efficient data-driven methodology that has been shown previously to predict steady-state operation of black-box processes while providing error estimates for...

Embedded systems often have limited amounts of available memory, thus encouraging the development of compact programs. This paper presents a link-time program compactor for the embedded MIPS architecture. The application of several important data flow and control flow analyses and the related program transformations at linktime are discussed and evaluated for a collection of typical embedded ap...

The benefits of using reinforcing fibers in latex-modified rapid-set cement preplaced concrete for emergency pavement repairs were examined terms strength, permeability, and durability as functions the type fiber. Single-type fibers, including jute, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), nylon well hybrid fiber mixtures prepared with two aforementioned at a 1:1 weight ratio, evaluated. Fibers incorporated...

We present a parity-based space compaction technique that eliminates aliasing for any given fault model. The test responses from a circuit under test with a large number of primary outputs are merged into a narrow signature stream using a multiple-output parity tree. The functions realized by the different outputs of the compactor are determined by a procedure that targets the desired fault mod...
