This paper proposes Built-In Self-Repair Analyzer (BISR) strategy with Redundancy which is an effective yieldenhancement strategy for embedded memories. It consists of a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) module, a Built-In Address-Analysis (BIAA) module and a Multiplexer (MUX) module. The BISR is designed flexible so that it can provide four operation modes to SRAM users. The feature of the proposed BI...

The purpose of this study was to account for the frequency, type, and possible origins of speech disfluency clusters in the spontaneous speech of 3- to 6-year-old children, 30 who stutter and 30 who do not stutter. On the basis of the Covert Repair Hypothesis (Postma & Kolk, 1993), which suggests that stutterings are the by-products of self-repairs or self-corrections of speech errors, three hy...

BACKGROUND/AIM To compare the changes in pain-related symptoms of inguinal hernias from initial admission to postoperative month 6 following 2 herniorrhaphy techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with unilateral inguinal hernias were scheduled for either Lichtenstein or self-gripping polypropylene mesh repair. Patients were preoperatively evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS) and a T...

Inspired by nature′s self-repair mechanisms at the molecular level, Viktorija Glembockyte, Philip Tinnefeld et al. applied dynamic self-regeneration and damage-specific self-healing to DNA origami nanostructures in their Research Article on page 4931, show how they can lead improved performance of nanorulers brightness labels.

Phase clocks are synchronization tools that implement a form of logical time in distributed systems. For systems tolerating transient faults by self-repair of damaged data, phase clocks can enable reasoning about the progress of distributed repair procedures. This paper presents a phase clock algorithm suited to the model of transient memory faults in asynchronous systems with read/write regist...
