Test point selection and fault diagnosis remain critical challenges in the analysis and maintenance of analog systems. As these systems operate with continuous-valued signals and are susceptible to ...
In my previous column, I briefly cited the Short Beam Shear (SBS) test method as a much more attractive interlaminar shear test method than the double-notch shear test method. The primary attraction ...
Single-use bioreactors have been successfully implemented by the biopharmaceutical industry up to the 2,000-L scale. The performance of single-use bioreactors is comparable if not superior to ...
The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB design. Test-point deployment considerations. When it comes to creating a modern electronic design, we live in both the best and the worst ...
Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...
A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...
Test points for hybrid ATPG/LBIST applications make it easier to reach the ISO 26262 standard of 90% stuck-at coverage for in-system test. The remarkable growth in automotive IC design has prompted a ...
One of the recurring themes in this column over the past few years has been the development of new test methods for sandwich composites. This is primarily a result of the opportunities I’ve had to ...
Many ASTM standards encompass the determination of the flash point of petroleum and petroleum products. ASTM D 93A is a key technique for the specification of diesel and aviation turbine fuels. First, ...
