A system and method for highly selective intrusion detection using a sparse array of ultra wideband (UWB) radars. Two or more UWB radars are arranged in a sparse array around an area to be protected. Each UWB radar transmits ultra wideband pulses that illuminate the area to be protected. Signal return data is processed to determine, among other things, whether an alarm condition has been triggered. High resolution radar images are formed that give an accurate picture of the area to be protected. This image is used to detect motion in a highly selective manner and to track moving objects within the protected area. Motion can be distinguished based on criteria appropriate to the environment in which the intrusion detection system operates.

Provided is a touch cell structure for a touch panel in which a touch cell is configured into a new pad to gate mode in order to solve a problem of a conventional capacitive-type touch input device. The touch cell structure includes: a conductive pad that forms an electrostatic capacitance with respect to a touch unit when a finger of a human body or the touch unit having an electrical characteristic similar to the finger approaches the conductive pad within a predetermined distance; and a three-terminal type switching device whose gate terminal is connected with the conductive pad and whose output signal is changed in correspondence to a change in electric potential of the gate terminal of the three-terminal type switching device by the electrostatic capacitance between the touch unit and the conductive pad. Since the potential of the gate terminal of the switching device is determined by an electrostatic capacitance formed in the conductive pad, a difference of the output signal output from the switching device becomes large depending on whether a touch input occurs or not.

A diagnostic and characterization tool applicable to structural VLSI designs to address problems associated with fault tester interactive pattern generation and ways of effectively reducing diagnostic test time while achieving greater fail resolution. Empirical fail data drives the creation of adaptive test patterns which localize the fail to a precise location. This process iterates until the necessary localization is achieved. Both fail signatures and associated callouts as well as fail signatures and adaptive patterns are stored in a library to speed diagnostic resolution. The parallel tester application and adaptive test generation provide an efficient use of resources while reducing overall test and diagnostic time.

In a semiconductor integrated circuit, a counter counts the number of high-speed clock signals that have been generated in a predetermined number of clock cycles of a low-speed clock signal. In synchronization with the low-speed clock signal, the semiconductor integrated circuit compares the counter value and a predetermined value, and judges whether the frequency of the high-speed clock signal has reaches a predetermined frequency. Since variations in the frequency become smaller as the oscillation of a high-speed oscillator stabilizes, the semiconductor integrated circuit detects that the oscillation is stable when the semiconductor integrated circuit has judged affirmatively a plurality of times.
