Abstract: A test apparatus for testing a device under test (DUT) to detect a defect comprises a measurement circuit (ME), a threshold circuit (TH), and a control circuit (CG). The measurement circuit (ME) comprises a counter (C 1 ) which counts clock pulses (OLK) during a count period (TC) to obtain a counted number (N) of clock pulses (CLK). The count period (TC) has a start determined by the start (tl) of a testing cycle which occurs at the instant a switch (S) which is coupled to an terminal (IN) of the device under test (DUT) removes a power supply voltage (VDD) from the terminal (IN) and the voltage (VDD') at the terminal (IN) starts decaying. An end of the count period (TC) is determined by an instant (t 2 ) a comparator (COM 1 ) detects that the voltage (VDD') at the terminal (IN) crosses a reference value (VREF). The control circuit (CG) generates the clock signal (CLK) and/or a reference number (NTH) taking into account the variability of the manufacturing process of the circuit under test (CUT). The threshold circuit (TH) generates a pass/fail signal (PF) by comparing the counted number (N) and the reference number (NTH).

Abstract: A heater diverter valve (20) is provided in an engine cooling system having a radiator, a pump to circulate coolant through an engine supply line to the engine, from the engine to the radiator and from the radiator back to the pump through a pump return line. The valve has a first inlet (31) connected to a heater so that coolant which flows from the engine supply line through the engine and then through the heater is returned to the pump return line through the valve via the first inlet and an outlet (33). A second inlet (32) is connected to engine and transmission oil coolers so that coolant which flows from the engine supply line through the coolers is returned to the pump return line via the second inlet and the outlet. The valve includes a shuttle (24) having a valve member (25) which at lower coolant temperatures closes off the second inlet (32) to prevent coolant flow thorough the oil coolers. The second inlet (32) is opened at higher temperatures when a wax type thermal actuator pushes the shuttle towards the first inlet (31).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported catalyst system. The supported catalyst of the present invention comprises an inorganic support having attached to at least one surface thereof non-acidic, hydrophillic, hydroxyl-containing organic R10 groups having no or substantially no surface charge in solution, and at least one linker capable of binding a catalytic species, e.g. an enzyme or an organometallic molecule, wherein the linker is attached to a catalytic species. The R10 groups preferably are selected from the group consisting of —CH2OH, —CH(OH)2, —CH(OH)CH3, —CH2CH2OH, —CH(OH)2CH3, —CH2CH(OH)2, —CH(OH)CH2(OH) and mixtures thereof. The presence of the R10 groups on the support surface prevents or reduces non-specific binding of the catalytic species with the support surface by minimizing hydrophobic interactions and providing no or substantially no surface charge in the region of the support having catalytic species attached thereto. Simultaneously, the linker binds the catalytic species to the surface of the support in a manner which permits the catalytic species to be freely available for catalytic activity. Methods of catalyzing a reaction using the supported catalyst system of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a decoding apparatus and method, a program storage medium, and a program, which allow high-performance decoding of a modulation code encoded in accordance with a variable-length table. A 17PP-SISO decoder 181 performs SISO decoding on a signal supplied from a PR-SISO decoder 81 by using a Viterbi decoding algorithm or a BCJR decoding algorithm in accordance with a trellis represented by paths corresponding, in a one-to-one fashion, to overall transitions in an entire encoding process in accordance with an encoding table 201 of a 17PP code. A resultant SISO-decoded signal is supplied to a turbo decoder 84 via a deinterleaver 83. The turbo decoder 84 performs turbo decoding on the signal output from the 17PP-SISO decoder 181. The present invention can be applied to a recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing a signal on/from a storage medium such as a high-density optical disk.
