Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting the presence and/or location of defects (e.g., incomplete solders, broken cables, misconnections, defective sockets, opens, shorts, etc.) along electrical lines are described. The systems and methods described herein may use time-domain reflectometry (TDR), a measurement technique used to determine the characteristics of electrical lines by observing reflected waveforms. TDR may be performed in some embodiments by determining the times when a first event and a second event occur, and by determining the space traveled by a probe signal based on these times. The first event may occur when a first signal transition crosses a first threshold and the second event may occur when a second signal transition crosses a second threshold, where the second signal transition may arise in response to the first signal transition reflecting against a defect along the electrical line.

Abstract: A method for improving variable length decoding performance is provided. A variable length decoding module decodes a coded data to obtain a decoded data and a subsequent module receives the decoded data to perform further processing. A buffering module is coupled between the variable length decoding module and the subsequent module, and buffers the decoded data decoded by the variable length decoding module. A read part of the buffering module is cleared so that a content of an unused area of the buffering module is a predetermined value when the subsequent module reads the decoded data from the buffering module, wherein the unused area is a part of the buffering module except for the unread decoded data. The variable length decoding module does not write zero values of the decoded data into the buffering module when the variable length decoding module reads a zero output instruction among the coded data.
