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 ...

The exponential growth in design sizes has rendered the traditional methods of design-for-test, layout, and timing closure no longer sufficient. Design and test engineers not only have to constantly ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scan testing has been the foundation of digital-device production test for many years. Several innovations have been developed to keep up with the growth in pattern-set sizes brought about by large ...

Among the first decisions to be made when initiating a composites testing program is the selection of test methods to follow. Unless performing highly customized testing, it’s usually not difficult to ...

In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

There are a multitude of available test procedures and methods for water and wastewater treatment operators. They range from colorimetric, titrimetric, electrometric (meter & probe), turbimetric, ...
