Multi-site testing is a technique where a large number of dies are tested in parallel to increase silicon test throughput. The stimuli is stored on the tester and applied concurrently to all the dies on the test board and compared against the response data. To achieve multi-site testing of 16X, 32X, 64X, or 128X, the number of tester-contacted pins must be very low. The overall tester data and ...

The problem of testing monotonicity of a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} has received much attention recently. Denoting the proximity parameter by ε, the best tester is the non-adaptive Õ( √ n/ε) tester of Khot-Minzer-Safra (FOCS 2015). Let I(f) denote the total influence of f . We give an adaptive tester whose running time is I(f)poly(ε logn).

1. Presenting lower and upper bounds on the complexity of testing Bipartitness; specifically, we present a poly(1/ǫ) · Õ( √ k)-time tester, and an Ω √ k) lower bound on the query complexity of any tester for Bipartitness. 2. Reviewing a quasi-poly(1/ǫ)-time tester for Planarity. The result extends to testing any minor-closed property (i.e., a graph property that is preserved under the omission ...

It is adaptive to remember animates, particularly animate agents, because they play an important role in survival and reproduction. Yet, surprisingly, the role of animacy in mnemonic processing has received little direct attention in the literature. In two experiments, participants were presented with pronounceable nonwords and properties characteristic of either living (animate) or nonliving (...

Restorative and endodontic procedures have been recently developed in an attempt to preserve the vitality of dental pulp after exposure to external stimuli, such as caries infection or traumatic injury. When damage to dental pulp is reversible, pulp wound healing can proceed, whereas irreversible damage induces pathological changes in dental pulp, eventually requiring its removal. Nonvital teet...

With the development in egocentric vision, skill measurement has been recently proposed as a novel topic in this emerging field. In this report, we record the the experimenter’s first-person videos in Wet labratories (wetlab), and measure his/her operative skills. Specifically, given the videos of expert and amateur, we analyze their head motions, hands motions, eye-hand coordinations and key-m...

It is often regarded as best-practice that the case the developer that writes a program, and the tester that tests the program, are different people. This supposedly allows unbiased testing. This separation is also motivated by economic reasons. As a result, the tester, especially in black-box testing, is oblivious to the underlying code. Thus, when a bug is found, the tester can only file a bu...

VLSI chips have been tested using various automatic test equipment (ATE). Although each ATE has a similar structure, the language for ATE is proprietary and it is not easy to convert a test program for use among different ATE vendors. To address this difficulty we propose a tester structure expression language, a tester language with a novel format. The developed language is called the general ...

In the context of language recognition, we demonstrate the superiority of streaming property testers against streaming algorithms and property testers, when they are not combined. Initiated by Feigenbaum et al., a streaming property tester is a streaming algorithm recognizing a language under the property testing approximation: it must distinguish inputs of the language from those that are ε-fa...
