STUCK-OPEN FAULT ANALYSIS IN CMOS TRANSISTOR BASED COMBINATIONAL CIRCUITSMinh Anh Nguyen
This document discusses stuck-open faults in CMOS transistor-based combinational circuits. It begins by introducing defects that can occur during integrated circuit manufacturing. Stuck-open faults are identified as a major source of defects where an output may float to an intermediate value. The chapter then presents a CMOS implementation of a combinational circuit based on ESOP expressions that is robustly testable for detecting single stuck-open faults using a modified circuit with additional control inputs and an extra output. The document provides background on CMOS technology, MOSFET switches, and CMOS switching circuits before discussing faults that can occur in integrated circuits during fabrication.
This document provides an overview of electrocardiograms (ECGs) including what they are used for, how they work, and how to interpret the different parts of an ECG tracing. An ECG is a test that records the heart's electrical activity through electrodes placed on the skin. It can be used to diagnose heart conditions by examining features such as intervals, waves, rates, and voltages. A normal ECG shows distinct P, QRS, and T waves along with standardized intervals between them. Abnormalities in the tracing can indicate issues like arrhythmias, enlarged heart chambers, or poor blood flow.
The Maxwell 3D User's Guide provides an overview of the Maxwell 3D electromagnetic simulation software, including descriptions of the different solution types, the meshing process, data reporting capabilities, and examples of simulations for magnetostatic, eddy current, transient, and electric analyses. It also includes examples of using Maxwell for motor and multiphysics applications by coupling it with other ANSYS software packages.

Matlab code for comparing two microphone filesMinh Anh Nguyen
This MATLAB code analyzes two audio signals (.wav files) by:
1. Reading in the signals and extracting the right channel of each stereo recording.
2. Cutting the signals to the same length for comparison.
3. Calculating the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and plotting the power spectra of the cut signals.
4. Comparing the signals by calculating the mean squared error (MSE) and determining if they are the same or not based on a threshold.
The document summarizes the evaluation of an audio detection system prototype for identifying misloading issues in a centrifuge. Testing showed the prototype had a 93% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 94% accuracy in detecting when bearings were loaded incorrectly based on analyzing audio signals. Future work is suggested to integrate the prototype with motor control and position sensing to automatically detect and address any misloading issues in the centrifuge.
This document contains the lyrics to the song "Love Me Tender" by Elvis Presley. Over the course of the song, the singer expresses his enduring love for his darling and asks her to love him tenderly, truly, and for a long time as all his dreams are fulfilled through their love. He pledges that he will always love her.
The document discusses the NI myRio and its capabilities for reading image and audio files. The NI myRio can read PNG, JPEG, and BMP image formats. It can only read audio in WAV format. PNG is best for images with sharp edges or no gradients, while JPEG is better for photos with gradients. BMP has both indexed and direct color depths but results in large file sizes. Microphones convert sound waves to electrical signals, with different types using various methods, and stereo microphones capture two channels of sound for left and right arrival times.
Results Review of iphone and Detecting of Human Errors AlgorithmMinh Anh Nguyen
The document provides a review and results from experiments comparing audio files using Matlab and Labview algorithms to detect differences between identical and non-identical files. It outlines tasks from a previous meeting and issues encountered integrating audio analysis tools into the NI myRio software. Matlab results are presented comparing various audio file pairs that are both identical and non-identical, detecting differences between the files. Preliminary Labview results are also shown comparing one pair of non-identical audio files.
Results Review of Microphone Prototype and LabView Detecting of Human Errors ...Minh Anh Nguyen
The document summarizes tests of a microphone prototype and LabView algorithms for detecting human errors. It outlines tasks from a previous meeting, describes the microphone prototype, and reports on LabView results analyzing audio files to detect differences between files representing correct and incorrect settings. Tests were conducted in simulation mode to verify files were loaded correctly and differences detected between non-identical images and audio files. Results are presented for various component errors detected by analyzing changes in audio signals.
The document analyzes a method for comparing two audio files to detect human errors using fast Fourier transforms (FFT). It describes using FFT to convert audio files from the time domain to the frequency domain. It then calculates the mean squared error (MSE) between the normalized spectral densities of the two files. A low MSE would indicate the files are identical, while a higher MSE shows a difference. The document provides the steps and flowchart used, and includes examples of Matlab and Labview code implementing the comparison method on identical and non-identical audio files.
The document analyzes a method for detecting human errors in image files by comparing histograms of two images. It discusses using histograms to visualize pixel intensity distributions and compare overall contrast and dynamic range. The method involves reading and resizing two images, calculating their histograms, and checking for differences to detect errors. Matlab and Labview code examples demonstrate comparing histogram plots and pixel counts to determine if two images match or not. Test results show the histogram method can effectively detect errors by identifying mismatches between images.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
The document summarizes a senior design project to address human error in loading disposable kits for the Spectra Optia centrifuge. Two concepts were selected: a machine vision system using cameras to detect misloads, and an audio system using microphones. The systems would detect loading errors before blood enters the centrifuge and alert the operator. A valve block modification was also proposed to prevent tubing from being loaded behind the cassette and eliminate potential misloads.
