Patent number: 7454681Abstract: A test system with multiple instruments. Some instruments act as controller instruments and others act as controlled instruments. Each instrument includes a clock generator that synthesizes one or more local clocks from a reference clock. The reference clock is a relatively low frequency clock that can be inexpensively but accurately generated and distributed to all of the instruments. A communication link between instruments is provided. Timing circuits within instruments that are to exchange time information are synchronized to establish a common time reference. Thereafter, instruments communicate time dependent commands or status messages asynchronously over the communication link by appending to each message a time stamp reflecting a time expressed relative to the common time reference. The test system includes digital instruments that contain pattern generators that send command messages to analog instruments, which need not include pattern generators.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Teradyne, Inc.Inventors: Peter A.

Patent number: 6314937Abstract: A diesel locomotive engine (10) having a combustion chamber (30) formed into the cylinder head (16) to have a diameter (D2) greater than the diameter (D1) of the cylinder liner (14). A piston (20) is disposed for reciprocating motion in the cylinder. The piston has a top wall (36) with a convex surface to form a generally ring-shaped combustion volume. A fuel injection nozzle (28) directs a flow of fuel into the combustion chamber in a direction generally along a radius of the generally ring-shaped combustion volume at a pressure of more than 1800 bar in one embodiment. A cooling passage (42) is formed in the cylinder head to remove heat energy, thereby reducing the production of the oxides of nitrogen during engine operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2000Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Prakash Bedapudi, Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 6286120Abstract: A tester having a fast but flexible pattern generator which is implemented using readily available memories. The tester includes a pattern memory which holds test vectors. The vectors are organized into modules. The order of execution of the modules is selected from a list stored in memory. In the preferred embodiment, memories which operate in burst mode are used to implement the pattern memory. To compensate for the decrease in data rate which occurs when execution switches between modules in the middle of a burst, the memory refresh rate is dynamically altered upon switching between modules.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1994Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Teradyne, Inc.Inventors: Peter A.
