Abstract In this paper the authors will discuss an application of Single Shot Logic (SSL) patterns used for further localizing IDDQ failures using ATPG constraints and targeted faults. This new method provides the analyst a possibility of performing circuit analysis using IDDQ measurement results as a pass/fail criterion rather than logic mismatches. Once a defective area was partially isolated through fault localization, SSL patterns were created to control individual internal node logic states in a deterministic way. IDDQ was measured at each SSL iteration where schematic analysis can further isolate the failure to a specific location. Two case studies will be discussed to show how this technique was used on actual failing units, with detailed explanation of the steps performed that led to a more precise determination of the fault location in the suspect cell.

In this review, the results of the electrochemical investigations made on the transfer of ionizable drugs at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) in the last decade have been presented. In many of the studies, cyclic voltammetry has been used to investigate the transfer characteristics of the charged species and deduce their partition coefficients, which are very important parameters to infer the lipophilicity of drugs in biological systems. The electrochemical technique allows the precise determination of the distribution of ionic species between two phases in a wider pH range. Such studies point out the complexity of the distribution of ionizable compounds and offer a new approach to relate the structure of such compounds to their passive transport across biological membranes.

Symmetry Result

For a wide class of nonlinearities f(u) satisfying but not necessarily Lipschitz continuous, we study the quasi-linear equation where T = {x = (x1, x2, …, xN) ∈ RN: x1 > 0} with N ≥ 2. By using a new approach based on the weak maximum principle, we show that any positive solution on T must be a function of x1 only. Under our assumptions, the strong maximum principle does not hold in general and the solution may develop a flat core; our symmetry result allows an easy and precise determination of the flat core.

Broadband Microwave Correlator of Noise SignalsA real narrowband noise signal representation in the form of an analytical signal in the Hilbert space is presented in the paper. This analytical signal is illustrated in a variable complex plane as a mark with defined amplitude, phase, pulsation and instantaneous frequency. A block diagram of a broadband product detector in a quadrature system is presented. Measurement results of an autocorrelation function of a noise signal are shown and the application of such solution in a noise radar for precise determination of distance changes as well as velocities of these changes are also presented. Conclusions and future plans for applications of the presented detection technique in broadband noise radars bring the paper to an end.

Elevation Model

Digital Elevation Model (DEM)-based mountain vertex extraction is one of the most useful DEM applications, providing important information to properly characterize topographic features. Current vertex-extraction techniques have considerable limitations, such as yielding low-accuracy results and generating false mountain vertices. To overcome these limitations, a new approach is proposed that combines Hotspot Analysis Clustering and the Improved Eight-Connected Extraction algorithms that would quickly and accurately provide the location and elevation of mountain vertices. The use of the elevation-based Hotspot Analysis Clustering Algorithm allows the fast partitioning of the mountain vertex area, which significantly reduces data and considerably improves the efficiency of mountain vertex extraction. The algorithm also minimizes false mountain vertices, which can be problematic in valleys, ridges, and other rugged terrains. The Eight-Connected Extraction Algorithm also hastens the precise determination of vertex location and elevation, providing a better balance between accuracy and efficiency in vertex extraction. The proposed approach was used and tested on seven different datasets and was compared against traditional vertex extraction methods. The results of the quantitative evaluation show that the proposed approach yielded higher efficiency, considerably minimized the occurrence of invalid points, and generated higher vertex extraction accuracy compared to other traditional methods.

Abstract The paper describes preliminary examinations on establishing usefulness criteria of foundry tooling materials in the microwave heating technology. Presented are measurement results of permittivity and loss tangent that determine behaviour of the materials in electromagnetic field. The measurements were carried-out in a waveguide resonant cavity that permits precise determination the above-mentioned parameters by perturbation technique. Examined were five different materials designed for use in foundry tooling. Determined was the loss factor that permits evaluating usefulness of materials in microwave heating technology. It was demonstrated that the selected plastics meet the basic criterion that is transparency for electromagnetic radiation.

Law Of Delict

The Constitutional Court (CC) judgment of Lee v Minister of Correction Services 2013 2SA 144 (CC) is a recent contribution to transformative constitutional jurisprudence in the field of the law of delict. This matter turned on the issue of factual causation in the context of wrongful and negligent systemic omissions by the state. In this case note, I explore the law relating to this element of delictual liability with specific regard to the traditional test for factual causation – the conditio sine qua non (‘but-for’) test. In particular, I note the problems occasioned by formalistic adherence to this test in the context of systemic state omissions as evidenced by the SCA judgment in the same matter. I also consider the manner in which English courts have addressed this problem. Thereafter, I analyse the CC’s broader approach to the determination of factual causation as one based on common sense and justice. I argue that this approach endorses a break from a formalistic application of the test and constitutes a step towards an approach which resonates with the foundational constitutional values of freedom, dignity and equality. Furthermore, it presents an appropriate solution to the problems associated with factual causation where systemic omissions are concerned. I then consider the transformative impact of the Lee judgment. In particular, I argue that the broader enquiry favoured by the CC facilitates the realisation of constitutionally guaranteed state accountability, and amounts to an extension of the existing norm of accountability jurisprudence. Hence, I contend that the judgment presents a further effort by the Constitutional Court to effect wholesale the constitutionalisation of the law of delict, as well as a vindicatory tool to be used by litigants who have been adversely affected by systemic state omissions.
