Energy minimization and design for testability

The problem of fault detection in general combinational circuits is NP-complete. The only previous result on identifying easily testable circuits is due to Fujiwara who gave a polynomial time algorithm for detecting any single stuck fault inK-bounded circuits. Such circuits may only contain logic blocks with no more thanK input lines and the blocks are so connected that there is no reconvergent fanout among them. We introduce a new class of combinational circuits called the (k, K)-circuits and present a polynomial time algorithm to detect any single or multiple stuck fault in such circuits. We represent the circuit as an undirected graphG with a vertex for each gate and an edge between a pair of vertices whenever the corresponding gates have a connection. For a (k, K)-circuit,G is a subgraph of ak-tree, which, by definition, cannot have a clique of size greater thank+1. Basically, this is a restriction on gate interconnections rather than on the function of gates comprising the circuit. The (k, K)-circuits are a generalization of Fujiwara'sK-bounded circuits. Using the bidirectional neural network model of the circuit and the energy function minimization formulation of the fault detection problem, we present a test generation algorithm for single and multiple faults in (k, K)-circuits. This polynomial time aggorithm minimizes the energy function by recursively eliminating the variables.

Procedure for Measuring Low Concentrations of H2 and H2S Above a Water Surface

A simple measuring procedure for low concentrations of H₂ and H₂S (at the level of ppm fractions) above the surface of water by using sensitive gas analyzers is suggested. The procedure is easily accomplished in conditions outside the laboratory (under field conditions).     

Reactively sputtered MoO3 films for ammonia sensing

We report the gas-sensing properties of ion-beam sputter deposited MoO₃ thin-films. The change in the DC conductivity was measured in dry N₂ with 10% O₂ in the presence of up to 490 ppm of NH₃, NO, NO₂, C₃H₆, CO and H₂. At ∼440 °C the film was found to be very sensitive to NH₃, with 490 ppm increasing the conductivity by approximately a factor of 70. This was approximately 17 times greater than the response to the other gases. The NH₃ response was strongly affected by the accompanying levels of O₂, NO₂ and H₂O. For example, changing the accompanying O₂ levels from 1% to 20% decreased the NH₃ response by approximately a factor of 20. Similarly, the presence of 100 ppm NO₂ (in 10% O₂) decreased the NH₃ response by approximately a factor of three, and 1% water vapor decreased it by more than a factor of two. The NH₃ response, however, was relatively unaffected by 100 ppm of accompanying NO, C₃H₆, CO or H₂. XPS measurements show that the increased conductivity in the presence of NH₃ was also accompanied by a partial reduction of the surface MoO₃. We observed an increase in the resistance of the films after extended time at elevated temperatures.     

Ubiquitous Information Services with JAIN Platform

To provide responsive information services in a ubiquitous computing environment, service software and system development are indispensable. A component-based ubiquitous information system with a JAIN (Java APIs for Integrated Networks) platform to achieve seamless transmissions and reach-everywhere communications was designed in our research. In this development, numerous ubiquitous service modules were identified: location management, roaming, mobile IP and WAP networking. These component-based network modules were constructed using a component composition language with component specification and interface definition, running on top of a distributed service architecture using a JAIN platform to distribute the ubiquitous information services to mobile users. Two applications, Wireless-Application-Protocol (WAP) Mail and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services, show that the JAIN-like platform with the developed networking components effectively fills the gap for application developers between mobile appliances and various kinds of ubiquitous information services.

High temperature transport kinetics in heteroepitaxial LaFeO3 thin films

Heteroepitaxial LaFeO₃(1 1 0) thin films with a thickness of 150 nm were grown on LaAlO₃(0 0 1) by reactive sputtering in an inverted cylindrical magnetron geometry. Equilibrium conductivity was measured as a function of partial pressure of oxygen at T=1000 °C, and logσ plotted vs. logP(O₂) showed a minimum in conductivity for P(O₂)=10⁻¹¹ atm and a linear response between 10⁻¹⁰ and 1 atm. This linear response makes thin films of LaFeO₃ a promising material for oxygen sensor applications. We have also measured the time response of the film conductivity upon an abrupt change in the partial pressure of ambient oxygen from 10⁻² to 10⁻³ atm, which was determined at 60 s for T=700 °C and <3.5 s at T=1000 °C.
