Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a LOW Cost IC TesterLiakot Ali, Roslina Sidek, Ishak Aris et al.Low cost Integrated Circuit (IC) testing is now a burning issue in semiconductor technology. Conventional IC tester, Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), cannot cope with the today’s continuously increasing complexities in IC technology. Deterministic algorithm, which is an idea of 1960’s, is adopted in the ATE. Recently pseudo-random testing approach of IC testing has been emerged as an economically viable alternative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Airbags, New Devices to Save Lives in Earthquakes, Tornados and Similar Disasters Resulting from Building CrashesAmir Hashem Shahidi BonjarEarthquake Airbag (EA) is a new terminology being introduced for the earthquake literature of the world. According to literature surveys, this terminology has not been used previously. Based on many scientific reports, fatality rates are lower in vehicles equipped with airbags than unequipped ones. Accordingly, it was postulated that similar structures can be adopted in buildings to protect people and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
