  • Patent number: 9292399
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to design-based weighting for logic built-in self-test (LBIST). An aspect includes a computer program product for implementing design-based weighting for LBIST. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes analyzing, by the processing circuit, a plurality of integrated circuit design organizational units to determine preferred weightings of the integrated circuit design organizational units that provide a highest level of failure coverage when applied to a random pattern generator. Based on determining the preferred weightings, the processing circuit creates an integrated circuit layout that includes a plurality of weighted test paths to respectively apply the preferred weightings to the integrated circuit design organizational units. The integrated circuit layout is incorporated in a device under test.

  • Patent number: 9292398
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to design-based weighting for logic built-in self-test (LBIST). An aspect includes an integrated circuit development system for implementing design-based weighting for LBIST. The system includes a memory system to create an integrated circuit layout. A processing circuit is coupled to the memory system. The processing circuit is configured to execute integrated circuit development tools to perform a method. The method includes analyzing, by the processing circuit, a plurality of integrated circuit design organizational units to determine preferred weightings of the integrated circuit design organizational units that provide a highest level of failure coverage when applied to a random pattern generator. Based on determining the preferred weightings, the processing circuit creates an integrated circuit layout that includes a plurality of weighted test paths to respectively apply the preferred weightings to the integrated circuit design organizational units.

  • Publication number: 20090164345
    Abstract: A system and method for managing containerized freight is disclosed. The system generates a 3-D view of a containerized freight terminal that is rendered on a display. The 3-D view includes rendered scale models of all the containers, vessels, buildings and equipment within the freight yard and according to stored information relating to such. The rendered 3-D view is updated as changes are made to the stored information and according to user input related to the desired point of view and perspective. The rendered scale models may be selectively visually coded or displayed according to pre-determined criteria.

  • Patent number: 4644706
    Abstract: A plurality of arches are supported in longitudinally spaced, transversely extending, vertical positions. A plurality of fabric panels are each connected between a corresponding pair of adjacent arches. A pair of arcuately extending cables are connected to corresponding opposite end portions of each fabric panel so that the ends of the cables terminate adjacent the lower ends of the corresponding arches. A plurality of base mechanisms are each attached to and support a lower end of a corresponding arch. The opposite ends of each cable are threaded through and guided by adjacent base mechanisms so that they can be pulled together with a winch to transversely tension the corresponding fabric panel.
