A medical characterization system is configured to input medical-related continuous parameters and discrete data so as to calculate a characterization timeline indicative of a physiological condition of a living being. A data source is in sensor communications with a patient so as to generate a continuous parameter. The data source also provides test data responsive to the patient at a test time. The test data is available to a characterization processor at a result time. The characterization processor is also responsive to the continuous parameter so as to generate a medical characterization as a function of time. A characterization analyzer enables the characterization processor to update the medical characterization in view of the test data as of the test time.

A novel and useful apparatus for and method of predistortion calibration and built-in self testing (BIST) of a nonlinear digitally-controlled radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (DPA) using subharmonic mixing. The RF power amplifier output is temporarily coupled into the frequency reference (FREF) input and the phase error samples generated in the phase locked loop (PLL) are then observed and analyzed. The digital predistortion and BIST mechanisms process the phase error samples to calibrate and test the DPA in the transmitter of the Digital RF Processor (DRP). The invention enables the characterization of nonlinearities, the configuration of internal predistortion, as well as the testing of the transmitter's analog/RF circuitry, thereby eliminating commonly employed RF performance testing using high-cost test equipment and associated extended test times.

An in-band OTDR uses a network's communication protocols to perform OTDR testing on a link. Because the OTDR signal (probe pulse) is handled like a data signal, the time required for OTDR testing is typically about the same as the time required for other global network events, and is not considered an interruption of service to users. A network equipment includes an optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) transmitter and receiver, each operationally connected to a link to transmit and receive, respectively, an OTDR signal. When an OTDR is to be performed, a network device operationally connected to the link actuates the OTDR transmitter to transmit the OTDR signal on the link during a determined test time based on a communications protocol of the link, during which data signals are not transmitted to the network equipment. A processing system processes the OTDR signal to provide OTDR test results.

An RF transceiver integrated circuit has a novel segmented, low parasitic capacitance, internal loopback conductor usable for conducting IP2 self testing and/or calibration. In a first novel aspect, the transmit mixer of the transceiver is a current mode output mixer. The receive mixer is a passive mixer that has a low input impedance.

Locators according to the present invention provide accurate estimation of the fundamental physical parameters of line location (electromagnetic signal strength and signal direction) in extremely noisy environments, using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) methods.

Circuits and methods that enable screening for defective or weak memory cells in a semiconductor memory device. In one aspect, a semiconductor memory device comprises first and second drivers for a SRAM cell. The first driver is connected between a power supply voltage and the cell, which supplies the power supply voltage into the cell in response to a cell power control signal. The second driver is connected between the power supply signal and the cell, which supplies a voltage lower than the power supply voltage into the cell in response to the cell power down signal. A method for screening for defective or weak cells does not require a time for stabilizing a circuit condition after voltage variation to supply the voltage lower than the power supply voltage from a conventional tester because the cell power down signal activates a driver that causes a supply voltage that is lower than the power supply voltage to be loaded directly to the cell, which results in a reduction of the test time for screening defective cells.

A detached island effect test method and a device based on active frequency deviation relate to a test method and a device to test distributive new energy grid integration power supply, in particular to a detached island effect test method and a device based on active frequency deviation. Regarding the utility model, 25 cyclic waves form a major cycle. Chopped wave rate cf of the first 15 cyclic waves is 0, and variance trend of the frequency is tested.

By adopting the invention, not only the operation probability of the detached island tested is improved; but also testing time is reduced, and current harmonics injected into the grid is reduced.

Techniques are provided for use by implantable medical devices for controlling ventricular pacing using a multi-pole left ventricular (LV) lead. In one example, a single “V sense” test is performed to determine intrinsic interventricular conduction time delays (Δ_n) between the RV electrode and each of the LV electrodes of the multi-pole lead. Likewise, a single “RV pace” test is performed to determine paced interventricular conduction time delays (IVCD_RLn) between the RV electrode and each of the LV electrodes. A set of “LV pace” tests is then performed to determine paced interventricular conduction time delays (IVCD_LRn) between individual LV electrodes and the RV electrode. Optimal or preferred interventricular pacing delays are determined using the intrinsic interventricular conduction delay (Δ_n) values and a set of interventricular correction terms (ε_n) determined from the results of the RV pace test and the set of LV pace tests. With these techniques, overall test time can be reduced.

A tool to aid a test engineer in creating a concurrent test plan. The tool may quickly map test system resources to specific pins to satisfy the requirements of a concurrent test. The tool may project test time when such a mapping is possible. When a mapping is not possible, the tool may inform its user, including making suggestions of additional resources that could allow the test system to perform the test or suggestions for other variations in input parameters that would allow a mapping. The tool employs an assignment process in which groups of associated pins are identified, along with associated resource requirements for each group. Groups of test system resources that collectively fulfill a higher level requirement are identified and the assignment is made by mapping resource sets to resource groups, using ordering and matching heuristics to reduce processing time.
