The manipulation of objects by a robot within its workspace requires knowledge about each object's location and orientation. A 3D representation of the robot's workspace is thus required. This 3D representation would be built up from information obtained from various sensors within the workspace. In the paper the sensors used are robot mountable CCD Cameras. In the transputer based system developed, the process of extracting the information from the cameras is separated from the processes that use this information. This separation of information provider from information user enables the software that controls the cameras (and even the cameras themselves) to be upgraded with no corresponding changes to the information user software. Additional cameras can easily be added to the system while obsolete cameras and those with poor imaging characteristics can simply be removed.< >

It is shown that the traditional approach to diagnosing stuck-at faults with fault dictionaries generated for stuck-at faults is not appropriate for diagnosing CMOS bridging faults. A novel technique for using stuck-at-fault dictionaries to diagnose bridging faults is described. Teradyne's LASAR was used to simulate bridging and stuck-at faults in a number of combinational circuits, including parity trees, multiplexers, and the 74ASCI181 4-b, 16-function ALU (arithmetic and logic unit). When the traditional technique was used, between 30%-50% of the bridging faults were mis-diagnosed, with the presence of a failure indicated on a fault-free node. In addition, as the stuck-at-fault diagnostic ability of a test increased, the bridging fault diagnostic ability decreased. By use of the new technique. over 92% of the bridging faults in the circuits used for this research were diagnosed correctly and less than 4% led to misleading diagnoses.< >

A masking tree is used to represent the masking relationships among individual faults. These relationships are then used to determine which multiple faults are actually detected by a test.< >

The authors present a low-cost self-test and self-diagnosis architecture for locating both defective chips and bad interconnects on a printed-circuit board. It is assumed that the boundary scan method developed by the Joint Task Action Group (JTAG) is applied to all chips on the board. To achieve high fault coverage, the proposed method uses pseudorandom patterns from a cellular automaton to locate defective chips, and walking sequences to locate bad interconnects. It is shown that the effectiveness of this method depends on the type of circuits to be tested.< >

It is noted that a necessary requirement of a strategic defense system is the detection of incoming nuclear warheads in an environment that may include nuclear detonations of undetected or missed target warheads. A computer model is described which simulates incoming warheads as distant endoatmospheric targets. A model of the expected electromagnetic noise present in the nuclear environment is developed; predicted atmospheric effects are included. Various morphological-based image-enhancement algorithms are examined with regard to their ability to suppress the noise and atmospheric effects of the nuclear environment. These algorithms are then tested, using the combined target and noise models, and evaluated in terms of noise removal and the ability to resolve closely spaced targets.< >

Implementation methods based on cyclic codes are presented for pseudoexhaustive testing of combinational logic networks with restricted output dependency. A modified linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) is used to generate exhaustive test patterns for every output of the circuit. All detectable, combinational faults (those that do not change a combinational circuit to a sequential circuit) in each cone of logic driving a single output are guaranteed to be detected. Examples indicate that LFSRs based on cyclic codes have lower hardware cost and shorter or comparable test lengths than other approaches. These test-pattern generators are well suited to applications where short testing time, low hardware overhead, and 100% single-stuck-at fault coverage are required.< >

Test and Evaluation have become paramount in today's Department of Defense acquisition process. Therefore, the U. S. Navy requires both private and public facilities to accomplish the final goals of the “Fly before Buy” concept. Such a facility exists at the Naval Coastal systemslaboratory (NCSL); an integral part of the Chief of Naval Material's, Director of Navy Laboratories organization. This paper briefly addresses the laboratory, its mission, and its history. This is followed by an in—depth facilities overview in order to create an understanding of the slow but steady evolution of NCSL's unique fixed facilities. These facilities, when coupled to the local natural environment, provide a unique in situ test and evaluation capability which is unequalled in the United States for assessing seagoing coastal systems. Of prime consideration is the Range Date Acquisition Center (RADAC) and Its ancillary subsystems for tracking, environmental monitoring, communications, and post run analysis. The paper is concluded with a discussion of both past and present use of the aforementioned facilities with an emphasis on user acceptance and future potential growth.
