State justification is a time-consuming operation in test generation for sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a technique to rapidly identify state elements (hip-hops) that are either difficult to set or unsettable. This is achieved by performing test generation on certain transformed circuits to identify state elements that are not settable to specific logic values. Two applications that benefit from this identification are sequential circuit test generation and partial scan design. The knowledge of the state space is shown to be useful in creating early backtracks in deterministic test generation. Partial scan selection is also shown to benefit from the knowledge of the difficult-to-set hip-hops. Experiments on the ISCAS89 circuits are presented to show the reduction in time for test generation and the improvements in the testability of the resulting partial scan circuits.

The authors have developed a new technique for micron scale resolution cross-sectional imaging of ocular and other biological tissue, called optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT is similar to B-scan ultrasonic imaging, except that image contrast relies on differences in optical rather than acoustic backscattering characteristics of tissue. In contrast to ultrasound and nonlinear optical gating techniques, low-coherence interferometry is used to resolve the position of reflective or optical backscattering sites within a sample. Two-dimensional tomographic images of a thin, optical slice of tissue may be obtained with 10 μm longitudinal and lateral resolution. Optical heterodyne detection and the application of noise-reduction techniques originally developed for optical communication achieve sensitivity to reflected light as small as 10/sup -10/ of the incident optical power. OCT is non-contact, non-invasive, and has superior resolution to conventional clinical ultrasound. Unlike scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and scanning laser tomography, the optical sectioning capability of OCT is not limited by the pupil aperture and ocular aberrations. OCT may be implemented in a compact, low-cost, fiber-optic based interferometer that is easily coupled to existing ophthalmic instrumentation. Here, the authors demonstrate high-speed in vivo OCT imaging in both the anterior and posterior eye, and highlight the system's potential usefulness for the early diagnosis and quantitative monitoring of a variety of ocular diseases and treatments.

A media access protocol that achieves a fair distribution of the bandwidth in one round-trip delay is presented. The protocol is based on a unique solution to a fair and waste-free bandwidth allocation. This bandwidth allocation can be implemented in a distributed manner. A comparison of the new protocol with the DQDB (distributed queue dual bus) protocol shows considerable advantages regarding the transmission delay of messages and the time a station needs to obtain a fair portion of the available bandwidth. The advantages of the protocol become more apparent for large networks and high transmission speeds. In addition, the new protocol can perform nonuniform bandwidth allocations.< >

We report on the fabrication of AlGaAs/GaAs split‐gate electron waveguide devices of lengths between 0.1 and 2 μm using x‐ray lithography, and the measurements of these devices at liquid‐helium temperatures and up to 15 K. An x‐ray mask (parent mask) was fabricated using e‐beam lithography and replicated using proximity x‐ray lithography (λ=1.32 nm) to generate a replica (daughter) mask. The daughter mask was then aligned to patterns on a high‐mobility AlGaAs/GaAs sample and x ray exposed using a conformable mask fixture. The conductance of the electron waveguides was measured as a function of the split‐gate bias. Sharp 2e2/h conductance steps were observed in devices up to 0.75 μm long at T=2 K. The features in the conductance remain visible up to 15 K.
