Functional debugging of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) has been recognized as a very labor-intensive and expensive process. It often dominates the time and cost of the ASIC system development. The difficulty of functional debugging is mainly due to the limited controllability and observability of the storage elements in designs, and therefore the intermediate variables in func...

In this paper, a test pattern generation system for combinational circuits including test pattern generator, fault simulator, and test set compactor is introduced. The techniques that improve test pattern generation process are used in an implemented test pattern generation system called COM_TEST. The results of COM_TEST on ten circuits are given.

introduction: although hippocampus is the most famous brain area involved in temporal lobe epilepsy, hippocampal kindling (hk) develops very slowly. hence, rapid kindling is usually preferred to the traditional kindling and it is widely used. in this article we aimed at finding the optimal stimulus pattern, which yields the fastest hk rate. methods: stimulus patterns with different duration (2,...

Two incident·detection experiments were conducted on the Queen Elizabeth Way Freeway Surveillance and Control System in Ontario. A pattern·recognition approach was applied to improve incident·detection algorithms. By considering the trueand false-incident-alarm identification process as pattern-recognition in nature, the maximum-likelihood decision principle was applied to develop an optimum in...

When an observer moves through the world, he or she must detect moving objects in order to avoid or intercept them. Accomplishing this task presents a problem for the visual system, because the motion of the observer causes the images of nearly all objects in the scene to move across the retina. We tested observers' abilities to detect a moving object when its angle of motion deviated from the ...

Automation aftereffects (i.e., degraded manual driving performance, delayed responses, and more aggressive avoidance maneuvers) have been found in simulator studies. In addition, longer automation duration seems to result severe aftereffects, compared shorter duration. The extent which these findings generalize real-world is currently unknown. present study investigated how affects drivers’ tak...

CAPACITIVE SENSOR FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF VFTO IN GIS V. Vinod Kumar and Joy Thomas M. A capacitive sensor based on the theory of electric field measurements using floating electrodes has been developed for the measurement of VFTO and the same has been fitted to the metallic enclosure of a 145 kV GIS experimental test setup available in the laboratory. The sensor has been calibrated insitu with ...
