-The internal properties within and adjacent to fault zones are reviewed, principally on the basis of laboratory, borehole, and seismic refraction and reflection data. The deformation of rocks by faulting ranges from intragrain microcracking to severe alteration. Saturated microcracked and mildly fractured rocks do not exhibit a significant reduction in velocity, but, from borehole measurements...

Machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis fields are charged with developing new technologies to detect and diagnose the machinery problems. In fact, several methods of fault diagnostics have been developed and applied effectively to identify the machine faults at an early stage using different quantities (Measures or Readings) such as current, voltage, speed, temperature, and vibrations...

There is recently an interest in test generation for reversible circuits, but nothing has been published about fault localization in such circuits. This paper deals with fault localization for binary reversible (permutative) circuits. We concentrate on functional test based fault localization, to detect and locate “stuck-at” faults in a reversible circuit by creating an adaptive tree. A strikin...

Erasure codes are the means by which storage systems are typically made reliable. Recent high profile studies of disk failure and sector failures indicate that ever more fault tolerant erasure codes are needed. Many traditional RAID approaches, parity-check array codes (e.g.,EVENODD, RDP, and X-code), and MDS codes offer two and three disk fault tolerant schemes. There are also many novel erasu...

A gravity and geologic survey was carried out over a port ion of the Nelson ultramafic belt of the South Island . In this region, the ultramafic rocks outcrop over a 5-mile-wide belt and abut against the Alpine greywacke along the right lateral transcurrent Alpine Fault. The dunite and peridotite of the ultram afic belt as well as the overlying geosynclinal sediments strike north . At their sou...

Films of (10 10) textured CoCrPt have been sputtered on polymer substrates for use as thin film tape media. Underlayers of NiAl combined with various intermediate layers were employed to obtain this orientation without thermal damage to the polymer. It was found that NiAl underlayers sputtered on tape substrates have a (112) growth texture, like they do on glass. Film coercivity varied as a fun...
