Abstract: A semiconductor test system has a scan test mode and a parallel test mode. A single memory using substantially all of its storage space stores a) parallel test vectors for use during the parallel test mode, and b) parallel test vectors and scan test vectors for use during the scan test mode. A switch is used to change from the parallel test mode to the scan test mode. A pattern generator coupled to the single memory manipulates the parallel test vectors used during the parallel test mode and the parallel and scan test vectors used during the scan test mode. The speed of the scan test mode is increased by interleaving the memory and reading test vectors out of the memory in parallel. Processing time is further decreased by creating multiple scan chains and applying them to multiple pins of the device under test (DUT). Lastly, the clock speed of the bus feeding scan chain data to the pins of the DUT is increased by multiplexing the scan chain data being transferred to the bus.

Abstract: A high capacity three-dimensional, optically-addressed storage device comprises multiple layers 3,4,5 from which digital data stored in any given layer can be rapidly and reliably retrieved despite the proximity of data in neighbouring layers. Interrogating radiation is projected through the device orthogonally to the layers, in a flood beam or a beam defined by an electronic mask. The interrogating beam is repeatedly refocussed to reduce retrieval errors associated with beam spreading. A given layer is selected by illumination with a selecting beam projected across the layer to interact with optically sensitive material deposited at selected digital storage locations in the layer, so as to cause that material to absorb the radiation of the interrogating beam more strongly than it does in the absence of the selecting beam.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved apparatus and method for its use in the decontamination and remediation of soils laden with organic hydrocarbons and toxic inorganic compounds. The soil to be treated is placed in a soil treatment tray which is subsequently placed within the treatment chamber. A multiple radiant heater rack is placed over the treatment chamber and the contaminant compounds are heated and vaporized. A blower fan creates a vacuum which pulls the organic hydrocarbon gases and other vaporized contaminants through the soil and out to the contaminant vapor removal/condenser unit where the compounds are liquified and containerized. A novel automatic safeguard system insures that all burners and fans are running continuously and automatically shuts down one or more components of the system should a burner or fan malfunction so that the potentially dangerous accumulation of explosive gasses is prevented.
