Stochastic analysis techniques for real-time systems model the execution time of tasks as random variables. These techniques constitute a very powerful tool to study the behaviour...
We describe an application of data mining and decision analysis to the problem of die-level functional test in integrated circuit manufacturing. Integrated circuits are fabricated...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
As chip size and design density increase, coupling effects (crosstalk) between signal wires become increasingly critical to on–chip timing and even functionality. A method is pr...
Scratches on old films must be removed since these are more noticeable on higher definition and digital televisions. Wires that suspend actors or cars must be carefully erased dur...
