  • Publication number: 20170115338
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a test system comprises: a test partition configured to perform test operations; a centralized test controller for controlling testing by the test partition; and a test link interface controller configured to communicate between the centralized test controller and the test partition, wherein the test link interface controller controls dynamic changes to external pads associated with the test operations. The test link interface controller dynamically selects between an input direction and output direction for the external pads. The test link interface includes a pin direction controller that generates direction control signals based on the state of local test controller and communicates the desired direction to a boundary scan cell associated with the pin. The boundary scan cell programs the pad to either input or output direction depending on direction control signals. The input direction corresponds to driving test data and the output direction corresponds to observing test data.

  • Publication number: 20150364146
    Abstract: A method for obtaining visual feedback for vowel quality is disclosed. By filtering and decomposing audio signals in formants, one or more software modules and/or applications may determine the type of phoneme in an audio signal that corresponds to a vowel. First and second formants may be measured in their frequencies; subsequently frequencies values of first formant and second formant may be assigned as X and Y coordinates, respectively. These (X,Y) coordinates may be used for graphing points and trajectories of the points in a Cartesian coordinate system while the user is pronouncing a vowel. Thus, graphic feedback for vowel pronunciation may be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20140337265
    Abstract: An intelligent controllability check process can intelligently examine if enumeration of some possible values for a set of control signal inputs can be avoided (e.g., resulting in less than all possible values being enumerated, etc.). A modified intelligent QBF controllability check can be utilized, including a modified intelligent QBF solver. The process can include a formal controllability check with an extensive or exhaustive consideration of possible value assignments while avoiding enumeration of some possibilities. The formal controllability check can examine if a proof establishes a conclusion regarding assignment values. The proof can be utilized in determining possible results including: (1) a conclusion that signals provide controllability; (2) a conclusion that signals do not provide controllability; or (3) can not reach a conclusion one way or other if signals do or do not provide controllability. Results (e.g., SAT, UNSAT, etc.) of the QBF controllability check can be verified.

  • Patent number: 8580218
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of purifying a material using a metallic solvent. The present invention includes a method of purifying silicon utilizing a cascade process.
