The objective of this paper is to present an Automated Geometric defect Diagnosis methodology for EEPROM cell (AGDE). This method focuses on speeding up the diagnosis process of geometric defect. It is based on a mathematical model generated with a “Design Of Simulation” (DOS) technique. The DOS technique takes as input, simulations results of a floating gate transistor with different given geo...

Defect diagnosis in random logic is currently done using the stuck-at fault model, while most defects seen in manufacturing result in bridging faults. In this work we use physical design and test failure information combined with bridging and stuck-at fault models to localize defects in random logic. We term this approach computer-aided fault to defect mapping (CAFDM). We build on top of the ex...

Brain herniation into the middle ear is very rarely seen. In addition to reasons like congenital factors, trauma, and infection, tegmen defect may develop as a result of iatrogenic events secondary to chronic otitis media surgery with or without cholesteatoma. Since it may cause life-threatening complications, patients must be evaluated and monitored for tegmen defect. In this paper, diagnosis ...

volvulus of the small bowel, although being rare, carries a high risk of strangulation and ischemic necrosis. preoperative diagnosis is difficult and may be complicated by pregnancy, labor and the post-cesarean-section state. delay in diagnosis and surgical intervention increases morbidity and mortality rates. we present a 20- year- old primigravida woman (ga=10 weeks) with massive intestinal n...

Internal hernia represents only a small fraction of the patients with intestinal obstruction, however 50% of paraduodenal hernia present as an acute intestinal obstruction. The case is a 28-year old man with presentation of complete bowel obstruction. Diagnosis confirmed through physical examination and abdominal radiography. Laparatomy was performed during which total herniation of small intes...

A part of software quality assurance is concerned with the diagnosis of defects, which decrease quality aspects of software systems, such as maintainability, reusability, portability, or performance. Concurrent approaches for defect diagnosis focus on post-development manual inspections of the software’s source code. The context-sensitive diagnosis of quality defects is a new approach that is b...

In the recent preprint [1] S. Parrott proves the equality between the Arveson's curvature and the Fredholm index of a " pure " contraction with finite defect numbers. In the present note one derives a similar formula in the " non-pure " case. The notions of d-contraction T = (T 1 , T 2 ,. .. , T d) and its curvature was introduced by W. Arveson in a series of papers (see [2], [3], and [4]). In ...
