Abstract: Slave devices, master devices, systems and methods are disclosed for bidirectional edge-based pulse width modulation protocol based communication. In an implementation, receiving a master trigger signal starts a timer having an associated time period in a slave device, and after the timer has elapsed the slave device transmits a response.

Abstract: A hardware monitor may receive information that identifies a requirement for a system. The requirement may be associated with operation of the system during a runtime operation of the system in an intended operating environment. The hardware monitor may program the one or more hardware components to analyze the system based on the requirement. The hardware monitor may receive a signal from the system during the runtime operation of the system in the intended operating environment. The hardware monitor may analyze the signal during the runtime operation of the system based on the requirement. The hardware monitor may determine, during the runtime operation of the system, that the requirement was violated during the runtime operation of the system based on analyzing the signal. The hardware monitor may output information indicating that the requirement was violated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method associated with testing are disclosed, where a coupling between a device under test and at least one further device may be emulated. The coupling may be a bus.

Abstract: A method is provided for in vivo detection of a biochemical substance in an animal by culturing neurofluocytes that stably express a receptor of the biochemical substances by transfecting cells with cDNA of the receptor and a tag that will emit a detectable energy in the presence of the biochemical substance, implanting the neurofluocyte into the animal's brain; and detecting the energy emission of the tag. In a first embodiment, the biochemical substance is a neurotransmitter, the tag is a fluophore, and the step of detecting includes forming an opening in the animal's skull and optically detecting fluorescent emissions using a two-photon laser scanning microscope. Multiple biochemical substances can be simultaneously detected by culturing neurofluocytes that express different receptors and have different fluophor tags that produce fluorescent signals at distinguishable wavelengths.
