In this paper, a new hybrid test strategy, called hybrid-based self-test (HYBST), is presented to test complex digital circuits such as microcontrollers. This test strategy integrates the signature multi-mode hardware-based self-test (SM-BST) with the software-based self-test (SBST). In this test strategy, the microcontroller is divided into a number of main modules, and then test subroutines are used to functionally test each module, based on its instruction set architecture (ISA). The ISA is used to generate test subroutines that represent test pattern generators (TPGs) and part of the test controller. The SMHBST represents the other part of the test controller and the test response compaction (TRC). The experimental results illustrate the superiority of the HYBST in the memory utilization, test application time, testing of internal modules of the microcontroller, and testing of general-purpose input-output (GPIO) pins of the microcontroller. In addition, an integrated test solution for fault diagnosis of the circuit boards including random logic integrated circuits (ICs) and microcontroller chips is presented to indicate a real practical test strategy.

We have developed a multi-mode digital imaging system which acquires images with a cooled CCD camera (Figure 1). A multiple band pass dichromatic mirror and robotically controlled filter wheels provide wavelength selection for epi-fluorescence. Shutters select illumination either by epi-fluorescence or by transmitted light for phase contrast or DIC. Many of our experiments involve investigations of spindle assembly dynamics and chromosome movements in live cells or unfixed reconstituted preparations in vitro in which photodamage and phototoxicity are major concerns. As a consequence, a major factor in the design was optical efficiency: achieving the highest image quality with the least number of illumination photons. This principle applies to both epi-fluorescence and transmitted light imaging modes. In living cells and extracts, microtubules are visualized using X-rhodamine labeled tubulin. Photoactivation of C2CF-fluorescein labeled tubulin is used to locally mark microtubules in studies of microtubule dynamics and translocation. Chromosomes are labeled with DAPI or Hoechst DNA intercalating dyes.

Abstract The effect of tread compound variation on tire treadwear was studied using bias and radial tires of two aspect ratios. Compound variations included types of rubber and carbon black as well as the levels of carbon black, process oil, and curatives. At low to moderate test severity, SBR and an SBR/BR blend performed better than NR while at high test severity NR and SBR were better than the SBR/BR blend. The SBR/BR blend was the best at low severity testing. Higher structure and higher surface area carbon black gave improved treadwear at all severity levels. The concept of a “frictional work intensity” as the primary determinant of treadwear index variation with test severity is proposed. Some factors which influence frictional work intensity are discussed.
