Built-In Self Test of Configurable Memory Resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(2008-09-09)
Testing embedded memory resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult because the collective signal fan-in and fan-out is much greater than the available external I/O. A testing approach is needed that ...
Delay Test Scan Flip-flop (DTSFF) Design and Its Applications for Scan Based Delay Testing
(2008-09-09)
Scan based delay testing is currently mostly implemented using launch-on-capture (LOC) delay tests. Launch-on-shift (LOS) tests are generally more effective, achieving higher fault coverage with significantly fewer test ...
Elementary Education Pre-Service Teachers' Attitudes Toward Reading
(2008-09-09)
This study investigated the self-reported reading attitudes of pre-service teachers enrolled in a children’s literature course at the university level. The Mikulecky Behavioral Reading Attitude Measure (MBRAM) was administered ...
An Automatic Depth Control System for the On-the-Go Soil Strength Sensor
(2008-09-09)
Hardpans are areas of soil compaction formed by vehicle traffic or natural processes. These compacted areas beneath the topsoil can hinder successful crop production. A novel sensor for measuring soil strength was presented ...
Utilizing Microprocessor Based Relays as Predictive Tools to Mitigate Voltage Instability Problems That Stem from the Fast Voltage Collapse and Delayed Voltage Recovery Phenomena
(2008-09-09)
Fast voltage collapse and delayed voltage recovery are a growing concern in the power industry. Although there are several well-known methods to combat fast voltage collapse and delayed voltage recovery, additional methods ...
Design, Fabrication, and Dynamic Modeling of a Printed Circuit Based MEMS Accelerometer
(2008-09-09)
A MEMS capacitive-type accelerometer fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques is presented. A Kapton polymide film is used as the structural layer for fabricating the MEMS accelerometer. The accelerometer ...
Design of a Geotextile Roadbed Antenna to Create a Wireless Highway Network
(2008-09-09)
Incorporation of antennas into geotextile fabric to create a roadbed reinforcement with electronic transmission capabilities may find use in expanding communications infrastructures. The design of a model transmission ...
Applying Game Theory to Presidential Mistakes
(2008-09-09)
Game theory, based on the rational actor model (RAM), is a decision making theory that is useful for predicting economic decisions but is not reliable for predicting political decisions. Game theory might work better if ...
Designing for the Improvement of Operator Situation Awareness In Automation Systems
(2008-09-09)
The enhancement of operator situation awareness (SA) has become a major design goal for automation systems, in a wide variety of fields, including aviation, aerospace, nuclear plants, and advanced manufacturing systems. ...
Empowering Women: A Guide for the Design of Hand and Power Tools That Accommodate Women's Needs
(2008-09-09)
Women are the largest group of consumers in the United States and are involved in approximately eighty percent of consumer purchasing decisions. Traditionally, American women have been the major purchasing agents for their ...
