Abstract: An automated analysis system (116, 120) that identifies detectability problems, diagnosability problems, and possible ways to change rank order of diagnoses in a diagnostic system and makes the problems and possible improvements visible to test programmers to aid in test improvement. Components that have no coverage and components that have inadequate coverage (according to a heuristic criteria) are identified as potential detectability problems. Components that are exercised by identical operations in all tests are identified as diagnosability problems. If an incorrect diagnosis is made, the automated analysis system identifies failing tests that have no coverage of any component in the true failure cause. In addition, if an incorrect diagnosis is made, the automated analysis system identifies ways of changing the rank order of diagnoses, including coverages that can be reduced and identification of operation violations that can be eliminated or deliberately added. If no historical data are available, a  diagnosability index  may be computed by randomly sampling from the set of possible failure syndromes and observing the frequencies with which ties occur among the weights of the top-ranked candidate diagnoses. After historical data becomes available, a diagnosability index may be computed from the frequency with which two candidate diagnoses are assigned identical weights by the model-based diagnostic system over a set of representative failures.

Abstract: In a communications network, shared spare routes and dedicated spare routes are provided between nodes of adjacent pairs and a dedicated spare path are provided between terminal nodes. Each of the dedicated and shared spare routes comprises a link or a series of permanently connected links. A first signal requiring a quick fault restoration performance is transmitted over the first working path and a second signal not requiring the quick fault restoration performance is transmitted over the second working path. The working paths and all working links are monitored to detect a path or link failure. If the first working path is affected by a path failure, the first signal is instantly switched to the dedicated spare path, and if it is affected by a link failure, the first working path is reestablished using one of the dedicated spare routes. If the second working path is affected by a path failure, an alternate path is established between the terminal nodes using the shared spare routes and the second signal is switched to the alternate path and if it is affected by a link failure, an alternate route is established using one of the shared spare routes and the second working path is reestablished using the alternate route.

Abstract: A method (10) wherein the scan rate of an active emitter is simultaneously estimated by a tracking receiver and a radar system and are then compared to correlate tracks generated by the tracking receiver and the radar system. The output produced by the present method (10) provides for data that is more accurately indicative of the locations and identifications of emitters tracked by the tracking receiver and the radar system. More specifically, the method (10) comprises the following steps. An active emitter having a scanning antenna is simultaneously tracked (11) using a tracking receiver and a radar system. The location of the emitter is estimated (12) using the tracking receiver by processing measurements of the electromagnetic signals generated by the emitter. The scan rate of the emitter is estimated (13) using the tracking receiver by detecting strobing of the main lobe of the signals generated the emitter. The scan rate of the emitter is estimated (14) using the radar system. Finally, the respective estimated scan rates are correlated (15) to improve the accuracy of the estimated location and identification of the emitter.

Abstract: To obtain a decoded image almost identical to an original
image using a small amount of data, compressed data obtained by
thinning-out original image data is corrected and the corrected data
is outputted. At a local decoder the original image data is predicted
based on this corrected data and this predicted value is outputted.
Then, at an error calculator a predicted error for the predicted value
is calculated with respect to the original image data. The above
process is then repeated at a determination unit until the prediction
error is determined to be less than a prescribed value, and the
corrected data when the estimation error is less than a prescribed
value is then outputted as the coded results for the original image
data.

Abstract: A conversion system and method is disclosed for converting between digital and analog data signals. The conversion system comprises a signal input line for each digital data signal, a reconstructor-resampler unit for each digital data signal, a combiner, a modulator, a digital-to-analog converter, and a signal output line. Each signal line input couples to the respective reconstructor-resampler unit for the digital data signal. Each reconstructor-resampler unit then couples to a combiner which couples to a modulator. The modulator couples to the digital-to-analog converter that couples to the signal output line from which an analog output signal is produced. The reconstructor-resampler comprises a sampling member coupled to the signal line input and a polynomial interpolator member coupled to the sampling member and the modulator. Also, the modulator operates at a predetermined, or fixed, frequency regardless of the sampling frequency of the digital data signal. The steps of the conversion method include inputting a digital data signal having a sampling frequency, reconstructing and resampling the digital data signal to generate a resampled data signal, performing noise-shaping on the resampled data signal to generate a  x -bit data signal from a modulator operating at a predetermined frequency regardless of the sampling frequency of any of the digital data signals, and converting the  x -bit data signal to an analog data signal. In addition, an analog-to-digital conversion system and method is disclosed that comprises a signal line input, a decimator, a reconstructor-resampler a signal output line, and a modulator operating at a predetermined frequency to convert an analog data signal to a digital data signal.
