The ever-increasing test data volume and test power consumption are the two major issues in testing of digital integrated circuits. This paper presents an efficient technique to reduce test data volume and test power simultaneously. The pre-generated test sets are divided into two groups based on the number of unspecified bits in each test set. Test compression procedure is applied only to the ...

The main aim of this research was to find the mechanism for the failure of the CoCrMo porous nano-composite by characterizing microstructural changes and fractured surface after compression test. For this purpose, porous nano-composites were prepared with the addition of bioactive glass nano-powder to Co-base alloy with 22.5% porosity by the combination of space-holder and powder metallurgy tec...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the research was to compare the dynamics of venous ulcer healing when treated with the use of compression stockings as well as original two- and four-layer bandage systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS A group of 46 patients suffering from venous ulcers was studied. This group consisted of 36 (78.3%) women and 10 (21.70%) men aged between 41 and 88 years (the average age was 6...

A methodology for the determination of decompression hardware that guarantees complete fault coverage for a unified compaction/compression scheme is proposed. Test cube information is utilized for the determination of a near optimal decompression hardware. The proposed scheme attains simultaneously high compression levels and reduced pattern counts through a linear decompression hardware. Signi...

A new test, called the carpal compression test, consists of application of direct pressure on the carpal tunnel and the underlying median nerve. The results of the Tinel percussion test, the Phalen wrist-flexion test, and the new test were evaluated in thirty-one patients (forty-six hands) in whom the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome had been proved electrodiagnostically, as well as in a cont...

conclusions after kyphoplasty, her pain was immediately resolved, vertebral body height was restored to normal, and pain score was reduced from 8 to 1. she was discharged with a normal neurological examination and good general condition, and returned to her normal life. in this case, balloon kyphoplasty resulted in the restoration of the vertebral body height, decrease in pain, and returning to...

Run-length codes and their variants have recently been shown to be very effective for compressing system-on-achip (SOC) test data. In this paper, we analyze the Golomb code, the conventional run-length code and the FDR code for a binary memoryless data source, and compare the compression obtained in each case to fundamental entropy bounds. We show analytically that the FDR code outperforms both...

The huge sizes of screened colour-separated photographic images makes lossless compression very bene cial for both storage and transmission. Because of the special structure induced by the half-tone dots, the compression results obtained on the CCITT test images might not apply to high-resolution screened images and the default parameters of existing compression algorithms may not be optimal. I...

A biomechanical test is a good evaluation method that describes the structural, functional, and pathological differences in the bones, such as osteoporosis and fracture. The tensile test, compression test, and bending test are generally performed to evaluate the elastic modulus of the bone using mice. In particular, the femoral head compression test is mainly used for verifying the osteoporosis...
