Methods for localizing a biopsy site are disclosed. The method includes taking a tissue sample from a biopsy site and positioning a detectable, bioabsorbable element at the biopsy site at the time that the tissue sample was taken. The tissue sample is then tested. The biopsy site is then relocated by finding the bioabsorbable element. The bioabsorbable element may be made of collagen, gelatin, cellulose, polylactic acid, and/or polyglycolic acid. The detectable bioabsorbable element may be relocated using ultrasound or mammography. The bioabsorbable element may also swell upon contact with body fluid.

The invention relates to a recommender for recommending content to a user. The recommender comprises a recommender processor (111) which performs the steps of determining (201) a user preference profile and determining (205) if a content item interest does not correspond to the user preference profile. If the content item interest does not match the user preference profile, a temporary user preference profile is generated (207) in response to the content item. The recommender processor (111) then tests (209), through a user interface (107) the temporary user preference profile by recommending a plurality of other content items, and determining user preference values for them. If the preference value for the temporary user preference profile is high (211), the user preference profile is updated (213) accordingly. Otherwise, the temporary user preference profile is deleted (215). The update to the user preference profile may be temporary and have a higher update rate, thereby allowing the recommender to track temporary variations of user preferences. The recommender is particularly applicable to a Private Video Recorder (101).

Noise reduction in a one- or two-dimensional capacitive sensor array is achieved by rejecting and re-acquiring noisy signals. The sensor array is formed of crossed X and Y lines for drive and sense functions respectively, each of the X lines being driven in turn to acquire a full frame of data from the sensor array. A controller actuates the X lines in turn and, for each X line, charge is transferred to charge measurement capacitors connected to respective ones of the Y lines. The controller measures a signal value from a first one of the measurement capacitors, and then tests if that Y signal value has a magnitude lying within an acceptable range. If not, the measurement capacitors are all reset without their signal values being measured, and the controller re-drives the same X line to initiate another charge transfer into the measurement capacitors for that X line. It is then attempted once again to acquire Y signal values for that X line. Noisy signal values are thus rejected, and the sensor re-acquires substitute signal values. This is distinct from the approach of acquiring data and then reprocessing it to remove or suppress noisy data as in the prior art.

Signal paths within an interconnect structure linking input/output (I/O) ports of an integrated circuit (IC) tester and test points of an IC die on a wafer are tested for continuity, shorts and resistance by using the interconnect structure to access a similar arrangement of test points on a reference wafer. Conductors in the reference wafer interconnect groups of test points. The tester may then test the continuity of signal paths through the interconnect structure by sending test signals between pairs of its ports through those signal paths and the interconnecting conductors within the reference wafer. A parametric test unit within the tester can also determine impedances of the signal paths through the interconnect structure by comparing magnitudes of voltage drops across pairs of its I/O ports to magnitudes of currents it transmits between the I/O port pairs.

A high volume testing/formatting process is provided for Universal Serial Bus-based (USB-based) electronic data flash cards (USB devices) that meets the increasing demand for USB electronic data flash cards (USB devices). A test host is simultaneously coupled to the multiple USB devices (e.g., using a multi-port card reader or a probe fixture), a controller endpoint value is read from each of the USB devices and verified with a known good value, and then testing/formatting is performed on each of the USB devices by writing predetermined data into each USB device in a pipelined manner, then reading out and testing the predetermined data. In one embodiment, the test host implements a special USB driver that blocks standard USB registration procedures upon detecting the plurality of USB devices. Control and/or boot code data are written onto the flash memory device (i.e., instead of being provided on a controller ROM).

The invention relates to a method for testing flow conductivity of self-supported cracks in riverfrac treatment. The method comprises the steps of: manufacturing a core test piece which satisfy closed state of the crack wall surface after pressure relief return of riverfrac treatment, drilling a phi 50*100 mm cylindrical test piece, enabling the cylindrical test piece to be orthogonal with a pre-formed scratch, splitting the pre-formed scratch to manufacture a tensile fracture type crack wall surface, dislocating the crack wall surface, smoothly grinding the end surface of the core test pieceto obtain a non-proppant non-engaged crack wall surface combination; then testing the flow conductivity of the crack, putting the manufactured core test piece into a core clamping system, simulating formation stress and temperature, setting and sending a control instruction, enabling each system to work and feed back signals, and finally, collecting the test results and calculating the flow conductivity of self-supported crack in the riverfrac treatment. The method in the invention can really reflect the tensile fracture and shear slip process of the riverfrac treatment, and reduce the process to a pressure and temperature environment under the ground to test the flow conductivity; and the test method is achievable.

A bumped semiconductor component includes bumped contacts, a semiconductor die having die contacts, and a redistribution circuit having conductors for establishing electrical communication between the die contacts and the bumped contacts. The redistribution circuit also includes test contacts in electrical communication with the die contacts and with the bumped contacts. The test contacts allow the die to be tested without electrical engagement of the bumped contacts. The bumped semiconductor component can be contained on a wafer, or can be a singulated component such as a flip chip package. A test system includes the bumped semiconductor component, and an interconnect having contacts configured to electrically engage the test contacts without interference from the bumped contacts. If the test contacts are aligned with the die contacts, the same interconnect can be used to test the bare die as well as the bumped component. A test method includes the steps of: providing the bumped component with test contacts; providing the interconnect with interconnect contacts configured to engage the test contacts without interference from the bumped contacts; and then testing the component by applying test signals through the interconnect contacts to the test contacts.

An apparatus and method for coding unit-synchronous adaptive loop filtering (ALF) for an image area that is partitioned into a plurality of coding units are disclosed. In a conventional approach, the slice-level bitstream cannot be generated until all coding units in a slice are processed since the ALF filter coefficients are determined based on reconstructed pixels and original pixels of a slice. According to one embodiment, the method processes the coding units in the image area one after the other to generate a CU-level bitstream. The method also reconstructs the coding units to from reconstructed coding units which are subject to adaptive loop filtering. Upon the availability of reconstructed coding units for the image area, the method derives filter coefficients for the ALF filter based on the reconstructed pixels and original pixels in the image area. The designed ALF filter is then tested for each coding unit to determine whether the ALF filter should be applied to the coding unit and the decision is indicated by an ALF flag. After all ALF flags are determined, an image area header is created by incorporating the filter coefficients and ALF flags in the header. The header and the CU-level data previously created are combined into an image area level bitstream. An apparatus to perform the steps recited in the method is also disclosed.
