Abstract: A method for testing the error ratio BER of a device under test against a specified allowable error ratio comprises the steps: measuring ns samples of the output of the device, thereby detecting ne erroneous samples of these ns samples, defining BER(ne)=ne/ns as the preliminary error ratio and deciding to pass the device, if the preliminary error ratio BER(ne) is smaller than an early pass limit EPL(ne). The early pass limit is constructed by using an empirically or analytically derived distribution for a specific number of devices each having the specified allowable error ratio by separating a specific portion DD of the best devices from the distribution for a specific number of erroneous samples ne and proceeding further with the remaining part of the distribution for an incremented number of erroneous samples. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an aspect of the invention, a fluoropolymer dispersion, preferably a PTFE dispersion, is provided that comprises fluoropolymer particles having an average particle size of 10 to 400nm dispersed in water whereby the dispersion has an amount of solids between 35 and 70% by weight. The dispersion is free of fluorinated surfactant having a molecular weight of less than 1000g/mol (hereinafter called low molecular weight fluorinated surfactant) or contains the low molecular weight fluorinated surfactant in an amount of not more than 0.05% by weight based on the total weight solids of the dispersion. The dispersion further comprises a non-ionic non-fluorinated surfactant or mixture of non-ionic non-fluorinated surfactants and one or more non-fluorinated anionic surfactants. Through the use of a non-fluorinated anionic surfactant, a dispersion is obtained that has a low viscosity at room temperature (20 DEG C). The dispersion is further free of aromatic group containing non-ionic surfactants and is accordingly environmentally more friendly and can yield coatings that are less susceptible of discoloration. The amount and nature of the non-ionic non-fluorinated surfactant or mixture of non-ionic non-fluorinated surfactants is selected such that the Viscosity Transition Temperature (VTT) (measured as set forth in the examples) of the fluoropolymer dispersion is at least 26, preferably at least 28 DEG C. In a further aspect of the invention, a method is provided to obtain the aforementioned dispersion.

Abstract: A method to conduct fingerprint verification provides a sector distribution (101) based on the position (102) and angle (110) of every minutiae vector, wherein the number (0 in 106, 1 in 107 and 2 in 108) of further minutiae vectors of the template in any sector (105) of the sector distribution (101) is determined and a feature vector is generated for every minutiae vector of both templates (query and reference). The two feature arrays are matched by calculating the scalar product for every combination of said vectors generating a matrix. Mated pairs of minutiae from the first second template are found by searching the maximum element in every column of the matrix finally issuing a value representing identification information of the fingerprint.
