  • Patent number: 5633813
    Abstract: An electronic circuit test vector generation and fault simulation apparatus is constructed with programmable logic devices (PLD) or field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices and messaging buses carrying data and function calls. A test generation and fault simulation (TGFS) comparator is implemented in the PLD or FPGA consisting of a partitioned sub-circuit configuration, and a multiplicity of copies of the same configuration each with a single and different fault introduced in it. The method for test vector generation involves determining test vectors that flag each of the fault as determined by a comparison of the outputs of the good and single fault configurations. Further the method handles both combinational as well as sequential type circuits which require generating a multiplicity of test vectors for each fault.

  • Patent number: 5548506
    Abstract: Design and implementation of an `Auto Multi-Project Server System`, which automates the tasks of Project Management Coordination, for organizational work-group team members. The `Auto Multi-Project Server`, referred to as AMPS, consists of a core piece of software running on a host server computer system and interacting with a messaging system such as electronic mail, fax etc. Once the AMPS system is configured for the work environment, all interactions with it by work-group team members is via messages. First the AMPS system compiles multi-project plans into a multi-project database, and tracks the ownership of projects, tasks and resources within the plans. Second the AMPS system performs automatic checking of resource requests, if resource availability limits are exceeded then resources are re-allocated to projects based on priorities, and project plans are accordingly changed Third the database is processed periodically to send out reminder follow-ups and project status reports.
