  • Patent number: 5748846
    Abstract: Neural Engineering Utility With Adaptive Algorithms (NEUWAA) is an artificial intelligence system for Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) which integrates various technologies in an adaptive fault-detection environment. Various technologies, other than normal ATE stimulus/reaction, including Infrared, X-ray, RF detection, etc. perceive non-visible information of current flow and circuit activity which can significantly enhance the technician's perception of defective components. The system includes ATE adaptive algorithms to streamline test sequences and diagnostics. NEUWAA provides active schematics and active Unit Under Test (UUT) layouts. NEUWAA consists of diagnostic algorithms for specific pre-test information, specific test selection information, and specific diagnostic information. NEUWAA is a WINDOWS based utility. NEUWAA interacts with other Windows & DOS applications to provide and interoperate in a client server software environment.
