  • Method and apparatus for accelerating device degradation and diagnosing the physical changes of the device during the degradation process
    Patent number: 8907686
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise methods and apparatus for testing devices. In some embodiments, a method for testing a device includes operating the device in a stress inducing mode using a first set of conditions for a first period of time; determining a first value for a plurality of device parameters after the first period of time; operating the device in the stress inducing mode using the first set of conditions for a second period of time; determining a second value for the plurality of device parameters after the second period of time; and determining if one or more components of the device has at least one of failed or physically changed by comparing the first and second values for the plurality of device parameters.

  • Systems and methods for producing radar images
    Patent number: 7928901
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing radar images are provided. In illustrated embodiments, a representative system includes: a transmitter operative to transmit a pulsed signal; a receiver operative to sample the pulsed signal after reflection; a Doppler-shifting mechanism operative to create a Doppler shift in the pulsed signal; and a platform upon which the transmitter and the Doppler-shifting mechanism are mounted, the Doppler shift being associated with relative motion between the Doppler-shifting mechanism and the platform.
