  • Publication number: 20040153876
    Abstract: A digital bus monitor used to observe data on a bus (14, 16, 18) connecting multiple integrated circuits (10, 12) comprises a memory buffer (30), bypass register (34), test port (38) and output control circuits (42, 46) controlled by an event qualifying module (EQM) (32). In response to a matching condition the EQM (32) may perform a variety of tests on incoming data while the integrated circuits (10, 12) continue to operate at speed. A plurality of digital bus monitors (20, 22) may be cascaded for observation and test of variable width data buses and variable width signature analysis.

  • Publication number: 20040093534
    Abstract: A serial scan path communication architecture includes a plurality of circuits (30), some of which may include a memory (36). A memory access controller (38) is included on circuits with a memory (36) such that serial data may be written to and written from the memories without having to repetitively cycle through multiple shift operations.

  • Publication number: 20030236451
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and “measured,” and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to “measure” the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answering the questionnaires. The “stimulus” can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a “blank stimulus” is normally used during one of the stress intervals.

  • Patent number: 6535779
    Abstract: A substrate processing system having a bi-directional interface and concomitant communication protocol to allow a controller to communicate with an external endpoint system is disclosed. More specifically, the substrate processing system comprises a controller and an endpoint detection system that are coupled together via a RS-232 interface. A SECS compliant communication protocol is employed to effect communication between the controller and endpoint detection system to increase wafer processing information exchange and data exchange.
