5 v 1 2 1 N ov 2 00 0 Beam Test of BTeV Pixel Detectors

The silicon pixel vertex detector is one of the key elements of the BTeV spectrometer. Detector prototypes were tested in a beam at Fermilab. We report here on the measured spatial resolution as a function of the incident angles for different sensorreadout electronics combinations. We compare the results with predictions from our Monte Carlo simulation.

The INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody test: a review.

INTRODUCTION Rapid HIV tests have been widely adopted globally as an important component of HIV prevention and control programs. The INSTI™ HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody test is a second-generation HIV antibody test, available in most countries for use from whole blood, serum, and plasma. AREAS COVERED Available data on kit characteristics and current performance data on the INSTI™ HIV-1/HIV-2 antibod...

Evaluation of OraQuick® HIV-1/2 as Oral Rapid Test.

As Cameroon scales up its national HIV/AIDS control program, evaluating the performance of commercially available tests for accurate and cost effective diagnostics becomes essential. A cross-sectional study assessed the performance of an HIV oral rapid test. A total of 1520 participants consented to participate in the study. After counselling, they were tested for HIV using the national algorit...

An Introduction to Scan Test for Test Engineers Part 1 of 2

For any modern chip design with a considerably large portion of logic, design for test (DFT) and in particular implementing scan test are mandatory parts of the design process that helps to reduce the complexity of testing sequential circuits. The basic concept of a scan test is to connect memory elements like flipflops or latches forming chains, so that shifting through scan chains allows to c...
