A method for designing an electronic component includes receiving a device criteria (e.g., a parametric value, procurement value, etc.) from a designer, querying a database for devices corresponding to the device criteria, querying the database for procurement data and/or engineering data associated with the corresponding devices, presenting the devices to the designer based on the procurement data, and receiving input from the designer identifying one of the presented devices as a selected device. In a particular method, the returned devices are sorted based on one or more procurement values (e.g., manufacturer, price, availability, manufacturer status, etc.), and presented to the designer in a ranked list. Objects representative of the selected devices are then entered into a design file, and the objects are associated with the device's engineering and/or procurement data. In a particular embodiment, the objects are associated with the engineering data by embedding the engineering data in the file object. Optionally, data can be associated with the objects via links to the database. Types of engineering data that can be associated with design file objects include, but are not limited to, device footprint data, device pinout data, device physical dimension data, parametric data, and packaging data. Additionally, connection data and annotation data can be entered into the design file objects by the designer.

A control computer 110 determines, for each detected pattern defect, a defect inspection pattern area of predetermined X and Y dimensions containing the coordinates of the defect, then determines the clusters or cells whose reference points are located within the defect inspection pattern area. Then extracts the data of these clusters or cells from design pattern data read from a first magnetic disk unit 109a. The control computer 110 then generates an output file containing the extracted data. The output file is then converted into the same format as the input design pattern data or into OASIS format, before it is output to a second magnetic disk unit 109b. The extracted pattern data specifying the clusters or cells within each defect inspection pattern area can be output from the mask inspection system 100 to external systems.

The invention provides a spacecraft remote control rapid test verification system and method based on a Lua script. The system comprises a telemetry front end module, a remote control front end module, a data subscription module, a test console and a main test processor. The main test processor further comprises a dynamic instruction generation module, a telemetry distribution module and a remotecontrol distribution module.

The dynamic instruction generation module proposes a subscription request for distribution. The dynamic instruction generation module completes Lua script function registration according to an input design file and generates a Lua script file. The test console receives a remote control command, and transmits the remote command to generate required parameters for the dynamic instruction generation module. The Lua script file is explained and executed to generate an instruction binary code. The instruction binary code is sent to the remote control front end module through the remote control distribution module, and is finally delivered to the satellite.

A system and method is disclosed for facilitating the management of pipeline reliability, maintenance, repair, and/or replacement. Embodiments may be computer-implemented, and may be suitable for prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (e.g., PCCP). Method steps include inspecting the pipe and storing or inputting design and inspection parameters, as well as the maximum expected pressure within the pipe. A relation of pressure versus degradation (e.g., number of broken wires) may be used, which may have zones of risk or classifications corresponding to pipe management actions. The pipe may be analyzed for lack of prestress over various portions of circumference and length. The pipe rupture pressure, crack onset pressure, or can rupture pressure may be analyzed and compared to the expected pressure. The method may be tested and the inspection repeated while tracking changes. The action may involve, for instance, doing nothing, monitoring the pipe, repairing the pipe, or replacing the pipe.
