Abstract Lock-in IR-OBIRCH analysis, as a kind of static thermal laser stimulation (S-TLS) technique, is very effective to isolate a fault for the parametric failure cases. However, its capability is limited to localize a defect when the IC is operated under a defined operating condition. Whereas the dynamic thermal laser stimulation (D-TLS) technique is good at locating a fault while the IC is operated under some functions to activate the failure. In this paper, a novel method is presented to realize DTLS just by Lock-in IR-OBIRCH assisted with a Current Detection Probe Head. Two cases are studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

This paper presents a novel method to realize a current mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) through CDBA (Current difference Buffered Amplifier). It employs two CDBAs and two resistors to obtain desired functionality. Further, it does not require any resistor matching. The gain can be set according to the resistor values. It offers high differential gain and a bandwidth, which is independent of gain. The working of the circuit is verified through PSPICE simulations using CFOA IC based CDBA realization.

In this work, we propose a novel method for the preparation of polypyrrole (PPy) layers on textile fabrics using a reactive inkjet printing technique with direct freezing of inks under varying temperature up to −16 °C. It was found that the surface resistance of PPy layers on polypropylene (PP) fabric, used as a standard support, linearly decreased from 6335 Ω/sq. to 792 Ω/sq. with the decrease of polymerization temperature from 23 °C to 0 °C. The lowest surface resistance (584 Ω/sq.) of PPy layer was obtained at −12 °C. The spectroscopic studies showed that the degree of the PPy oxidation as well as its conformation is practically independent of the polymerization temperature. Thus, observed tendences in electrical conductivity were assigned to change in PPy layer morphology, as it is significantly influenced by the reaction temperature: the lower the polymerization temperature the smoother the surface of PPy layer. The as-coated PPy layers on PP textile substrates were further assembled as the electrodes in symmetric all-solid-state supercapacitor devices to access their electrochemical performance. The electrochemical results demonstrate that the symmetric supercapacitor device made with the PPy prepared at −12 °C, showed the highest specific capacitance of 72.3 F/g at a current density of 0.6 A/g, and delivers an energy density of 6.12 Wh/kg with a corresponding power density of 139 W/kg.

This study discusses tools for digital current monitoring using an Arduino-based ACS712 sensor. The current sensor ACS712 5A uses the principle of hall effect and is a current sensor whose circuit complexity is simple. The purpose of this microcontroller is to read data obtained from the sensor using the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) feature and then display it in the serial monitor. The ATMEGA328 microcontroller is assisted by a current measuring circuit equipped with a sensor mounted in series against the circuit to be measured in order to measure the current flowing in the circuit. The test results show that the sensor can measure the current value at its peak value with an error value of -0.066 and a standard deviation value of 0.011419. Based on the test results it can be seen that the tool can work well and has a good accuracy rate.

Current detection methods for enterotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus are labor intensive and limited in sensitivity. Furthermore, these immunochemical protocols fail to adequately detect heat-treated enterotoxins. Staphylococcal enterotoxins cause severe gastrointestinal illness at relatively low concentrations and retain toxigenicity even after heat treatment. Presented here is a novel method to detect staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). This method is a bioassay that exploits SEA's activity as a superantigen in that it induces in cytotoxic T lymphocytes a cytotoxic response against SEA-bound Raji cells. Target cell death is assayed colorimetrically with the CytoTox 96 cell lysis detection kit. In the experiments presented here, this bioassay was also able to detect heat-treated SEA, albeit with a slight compromise in sensitivity. This system detected SEA at picomolar concentrations. Because of the sensitivity of this assay, it is conceivable that it could be incorporated into current detection methods as a confirmatory test.

This investigation explores the differences between two types of military vehicle training: a current training method (2-dimensional, military-issued cards) and a novel method using 3-dimensional 1:35 scale models. Participant performance was tested in 3 areas: an identification task (can you name this vehicle?), a recognition task (have you seen this vehicle before?) and a friend/foe differentiation task. All three tasks were tested in both two dimensions (Training cards) and three dimensions (1:35 models). The performance results of the tasks support the integration of 3D training.

<p>MOOCs (massive open online course) is a disruptive innovation and a current buzzword in higher education. However, the discussion of MOOCs is disparate, fragmented, and distributed among different outlets. Systematic, extensively published research on MOOCs is unavailable. This paper adopts a novel method called blog mining to analyze MOOCs. The findings indicate, while MOOCs have benefitted learners, providers, and faculty who develop and teach MOOCs, challenges still exist, such as questionable course quality, high dropout rate, unavailable course credits, ineffective assessments, complex copyright, and limited hardware. Future research should explore the position of MOOCs and how it can be sustained.</p>
