ANSYS RedHawk-CPA: New Paradigm for Faster Chip-Package ConvergenceAnsys
Due to the increasing size of SoCs and the variation in the switching current and parasitic profile across the chip, the individual connections between the SoC and the package at the C4 bump level need to be as granular as possible to provide resolution to the power analysis. To see the benefit from changes made to the chip and/or package in a timely manner requires that both layouts can be modified and modeled in an integrated manner. This presentation introduces RedHawk-CPA, a new feature which allows the inclusion of both chip and package layouts for a unified DC, transient and AC power integrity analysis. It will demonstrate how RedHawk-CPA can improve the level of accuracy as well as reduce the time to power closure. Learn more on our website: https://bit.ly/1ssSGM0
Thermal reliability faces critical challenges from emerging FinFET-based designs.

The document discusses optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) which is used to locate faults in optical fibers. An OTDR works by launching light pulses into a fiber and analyzing the backscattered light to map the fiber's characteristics. It can detect events like connections, bends, and breaks by analyzing reflections and loss in the returned optical signal over time. The document covers OTDR operating principles, the factors that determine its measurement resolution and event location ability, and how it is used in the industry to test fiber links and networks.
Boiler tube welds require a rapid volumetric inspection method. Traditionally, radiography (RT) is used, but this technology has several drawbacks. RT is insensitive to mis-oriented planar defects, it does not provide immediate feedback to the welders, and is disruptive to other activities. Mostly, safety regulations are getting more and more severe worldwide drastically restricting the use of radiography.
The document describes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed for readout of up to 64 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). The ASIC provides important functionality for SiPMs like programmable bias voltage, large input dynamic range of 0-55 pC, triggering, amplitude and time sampling. It can be used with SiPMs and scintillators for energy spectroscopy and timing of ionizing radiation. Tests show it satisfies initial specifications like resolving photopeaks from radiation sources. Future improvements could reduce power, size and optimize for high input capacitance and specific applications.

This document discusses the design and analysis of a low-cost Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) to conduct EMI/EMC testing for ISM equipment according to CISPR-11 standards. A LISN is used in emission testing to provide a known, stable impedance between the device under test and the power source to filter out noise. Previous LISNs were costly, so the proposed LISN combines low-pass and band-pass filters in its design using ADS software. It will provide accurate input impedance at low cost to analyze equipment through a connected spectrum analyzer and ensure products meet EMI/EMC standards.
This project seeks to design innovative tools to measure in vivo biomechanical parameters of joint prostheses, orthopaedic implants, bones and ligaments. These tools, partly implanted, partly external, will record and analyze relevant information in order to improve medical treatments. An implant module includes sensors in order to measure the forces, temperature sensors to measure the interface frictions, magneto-resistance sensors to measure the 3D orientation of the knee joint as well as accelerometers to measure stem micro-motion and impacts. An external module, fixed on the patient.s body segments, includes electronic components to power and to communicate with the implant, as well as a set of sensors for measurements that can be realized externally.
This equipment is designed to help the surgeon with the alignment or positioning phase during surgery. After surgery, by providing excessive wear and micro-motion information about the prosthesis, it will allow to detect any early migration and potentially avoid later failure. During rehabilitation, it will provide useful outcomes to evaluate in vivo joint function. The tools provided can also be implanted during any joint surgery in order to give the physician the information needed to diagnose future disease such as ligament insufficiency, osteoarthritis or prevent further accident. The proposed nanosystems are set to improve the efficiency of healthcare, which is both a benefit to the patient and to society. Although the scientific and technical developments proposed in this project can be applied to all orthopaedic implants, the technological platform which is being built as a demonstrator is limited to the case of knee prosthesis. In addition, by reaching the minimum size achievable thanks to clever packaging techniques and also by reducing, or even removing, the cumbersome battery, it paves the way for a new generation of autonomous implantable medical devices.
The document is a project report on an Advanced Indo Border Security System submitted by four students in partial fulfillment of their B.Tech degree. It includes a certificate signed by their project guide and head of department, an acknowledgment section thanking those who helped with the project, and an abstract summarizing the system. The system uses sensors, microprocessors, and communication systems implemented in low-power CMOS circuits to enable monitoring of borders for security purposes while requiring very low power.
This document describes a radar jamming circuit designed to jam an X-band radar. The circuit uses an ATmega16 microcontroller, Basic Stamp microcontroller, two X-band motion detector modules, and an LCD display. One motion detector acts as the radar and the other acts as a jammer, generating a 10.5 GHz frequency using the Doppler effect. Testing showed that when the jammer was active, it successfully denied the radar detection by reducing the number of detected pulses compared to when no jamming occurred. The results demonstrate that an active jamming technique can effectively deny the use of the radar spectrum within a certain distance between the radar and jammer.

This document discusses developing new optical link technologies for high energy physics (HEP) experiments to improve speed, reduce mass, and increase reliability. It proposes using single-chip transceivers with integrated modulators and photodetectors to replace current links using vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Free-space communication using micro-electromechanical systems mirrors is also proposed to replace optical fibers. Several commercial modulator technologies are identified for testing to evaluate their radiation hardness for HEP experiments. Future work involves further testing modulators, developing 5 Gbps free-space links, and building radiation-hard modulators if needed.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
