  • Publication number: 20180203083
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simultaneous radio frequency (“RF”) transmission and reception for nuclear magnetic resonance applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) are described. The system includes a simultaneous transmit and receive (“STAR”) control system that compensates for the effects of load changes in a radio frequency (“RF”) coil due to the inevitable motion of living subjects (e.g., from subject motion, respiration, swallowing). The system also maintains a high transmit-receive isolation, even when scanning a subject using a continuous RF broad band sweep excitation.

    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for repairing a memory cell in a memory test system. A test device detects a fail address by testing a memory device according to a test command, and temporarily stores the fail address in a fail address memory (FAM). The fail address is transmitted to the memory device according to a fail address transmission mode, is temporarily stored in a temporary fail address storage of the memory device, and is then stored in an anti-fuse array, which is a non-volatile storage device. To secure the reliability of data, stored data can be read to verify the data and a verification result can be transmitted in series or in parallel to the test device.
