The present invention has multiple aspects. In its simplest aspect, the present invention is directed to an intermediate bone block comprising a machined segment of cortical bone, cancellous bone or both, the intermediate having a face comprising one to ten compression surfaces and one to ten cavities, the compression surfaces suitable for compressing soft tissue, the cavities for receiving and holding overflow soft tissue. The cavities are preferably channels, and more preferably channels having an omega cross-sectional profile. Surprisingly, the cavities and channels, which reduced the compressed surface area between the intermediate bone block and the tendon, significantly improved tendon load at failure. In standardized tests, an intermediate bone block of this invention, when combined with high surface area bone blocks of the prior art bone blocks, unexpectedly increased their load at failure. The invention is also directed to bone block assemblies suitable for binding to a soft tissue to form an implantable graft, and to such implantable grafts. A particularly preferred graft is a bone-tendon-bone graft.

A cost-effective system architecture and apparatus for programmable automatic power supply testing. The system utilizes board level interface between various system testing modules and an Automatic Test Controller (ATC). The ATC receives coded test requests from the software on an industrial PC and control the various testing modules inside ATC to execute the tests. Test results were sent back to the PC and saved in a result file. A single industrial PC can control two or more ATC's and test two or more power supply units simultaneously. The ATC based test system is lower cost than the conventional Automatic Test Equipment which uses device level interface and standardized test devices.

A Portal Assessment Design System includes a system for designing assessment models and assessments (e.g., standardized tests). In assessment design, specifications are organized around three basic elements: 1) what knowledge, skill or abilities are important to measure; 2) what is necessary evidence of that knowledge, skill or ability; 3) what performance situations are needed to elicit the required evidence from students and other assessment users. The system includes three modules (i.e., Domain Analysis, Domain Modeling, Conceptual Assessment Framework), each of which targets a specific phase of the design process, for designing an assessment in accordance with the three basic elements. The sequence of modules represents the structure of a design process that helps assessment developers work through successive stages or phases of assessment design, from the gathering of raw information to the creation of a complete set of specifications for an assessment product. Each module has its own set of objects for organizing information, such as knowledge skills and abilities of interest of the students being tested, evidence of these, and situations structured to elicit this evidence. The modules and objects of the system are implemented as a software application executing in a client-server environment.

One or more iterations of the test case may be executed and housekeeping tasks may be performed in preparation for executing the next test case. Executing an iteration of a test case includes initialization in preparation for executing the iteration, performing the actions that test the software and validating the results (including comparing the actual result with an expected result and making entries to a log) and performing local cleanup (i.e., cleanup relevant to the iteration).

Today, students are underperforming on the standardized testing. In an effort to better performance on these tests, software systems allow a student to practice different topics. These software systems, however, do not perform a longitudinal analysis of a student allowing the creation of an adaptable learning environment for the system. In contrast, the present invention provides a system that enables a student to answer one or more questions of a problem set. Next, the system stores information for each answer of the one or more questions over a period of time, analyzes the information for each student answer in a longitudinal manner, and identifies one or more deficiencies in learning of the student based on the longitudinal analysis. In this way, the system uses longitudinal analysis to identify student deficiencies, which allows a teacher or parent, using the analysis, to increase the quality of learning for the student.

A method and system is provided to directly compare school districts and individual schools across state lines, and the geographic areas served by those schools (counties, municipalities, zip codes, neighborhoods) based on their reported standardized test scores despite the fact that each state has prepared their own version of standardized tests to benchmark the performance of their students. While standardized tests, such as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) test, can provide a meaningful comparison between any students and schools that were administered the same test, since the tests are different state-to-state a comparison on this basis is generally inaccurate and unreliable. To normalize the local standardized test results based on the differences in tests in different localities, an additional factor is employed as a modifier of the NCLB test results resulting in a normalized comparison.

A hardware and software implemented, standardize testing, scoring and reporting system has a network interface, being either LAN or the Internet. A test is selected from a library, assigned to a group of examinees, and a record is made of the assignment. The test is available on-line, or downloaded, or both. Downloaded tests are saved as PDF files and printed into booklets. Examinees record answers on bubble sheets, which are scanned at the customer site or shipped to a processing plant. Individual scanned answer sheets provided data for individual scanned records. Scanning software performs an initial auto-correct and then performs an initial check for errors in scanned records. Tests are batched for later inspection. Scanned records with errors are classified as invalid and the test papers are separated. Prompts are generated for a human test paper inspection and scanned record editing. Accepted batches of scanned records are sent to a scanned records server where a second scanned records error check is performed. Prompts are sent to the appropriate scanning station for further human editing of invalid scanned records. Once all records are valid they are scored and the test results stored in a database, which is accessed by a reporting subsystem associated with an on-line server.

Precise timing control within a standardized chassis such as PXI is obtained by providing several control signals over PXI_LOCAL. A Least Common Multiple (LCM) signal enables all clocks to have coincident clock edges occurring at every LCM edge. A start sequence allows all PXI expansion cards in the test system to start at the same time. A MATCH line enables pincard modules to check for expected DUT outputs and either continue execution of their local test programs or loop back and repeat a section of the local test program in accordance with the result of the DUT output check. An End Of Test (EOT) line enables any one pincard module to abruptly end the local test programs running in all other pincard modules if an error is detected by the local test program in the pincard module.
