In this study, Al-17%Si alloys were dual modified by fine-grained structural materials (FSM) according to structural heredity. Microstructure and thermal analyses were undertaken to study the modification effect of the FSM master alloy on primary and eutectic Si. Primary Si is refined to a smaller size and eutectic Si is modified from needle-like to fibrous shape after FSM master alloy addition...

tics. For example, the co-design finite state machines We implement a finite state machine (FSM) domain for specifying and simulating control functionality of a system within the Ptolemy software environment. The FSM domain is successfully integrated with synchronous dataflow (SDF) and discrete-event (DE) concurrency domains in Ptolemy. In this heterogeneous combination, the semantics of FSM, c...

The paper deals with designing finite state machines (FSM) by Nano PLA structures. Due to the devicemissing domination in nano-structures, it is desired to minimize both the area and the number of PLA devices required for the FSM implementation. We propose a solution of the minimization problem. Our solution is based on: a) partition of the FSM for two interacting components; b) transformation ...

The finite state machine (FSM) model is commonly used for specifying communication protocols and other types of distributed systems. With the use of multiple testers for an FSM, the synchronization between inputs from different testers becomes a problem. A synchronizable test sequence of an FSM is a test sequence for which the synchronization problem either does not exist or can be solved by co...

Clock-gating techniques are very effective in the reduction of the switching activity in sequential logic circuits. In this paper, we describe a clock-gating technique based on finite-state machine (FSM) decomposition. The approach is based on the computation of two sub-FSMs that together have the same functionality as the original FSM. For all the transitions within one sub-FSM, the clock for ...

In this study we evaluated the effects of soy products on ethanol metabolism during periods of acute and chronic consumption in rats. Gastric ethanol content and blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations were investigated after the oral administration of ethanol (34 mmol/kg) plus soy products such as soymilk (SM) or fermented soymilk (FSM). The gastric ethanol concentration of the FSM group...

In this paper we introduce concepts of a potential fault latency and a real fault latency for Finite State Machines (FSMs). The potential latency defines a minimal value of the possible latency for an FSM, while the real latency relates to the certain implementation of the FSM. A method for investigation of latencies for online checking FSMs is described. This technique is based on selection of...

It has been well-known that Finite State Machines (FSMs) are difficult to test. The problem of FSM testing can be regarded as an identification problem: to design input sequence (test) capable to distinguish a given (fault-free) FSM from all other (faulty) ones. Testing methods based on checking experiments theory [1,2] are not widely used in practical, because of the high upper bound of checki...
