Monk, Donald L., Sarah J. Swierenga, and Janet E. Lincoln. "Developing Behavioral Phenomena Test Benches." Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting 36, no. 15 (October 1992): 1106–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.1518/107118192786749856.
A research and development program is underway to produce an innovative design support system for crew station designers. Known as the Performance Visualization Subsystem of the Computer Aided Systems Human Engineering Program (CASHE: PVS), this design tool will have data visualization and prototyping capabilities that will enable designers to “go beyond” the human perception and performance information available in the PVS database. Interactive software modules (called test benches) are being developed to allow designers to explore behavioral phenomena under different stimulus and response conditions. The objective of this paper is to describe a method we have used to translate the information in the PVS database into test bench specifications for software development. The basic approach in test bench design is: 1) to rely on standardized tasks and conditions where possible and 2) to provide designers with pedagogical illustrations of perceptual and performance effects. The procedures used in developing test bench specifications included identifying good candidates for test bench simulations, prioritizing the set of proposed test benches according to selection criteria developed by the design team, and recruiting subject matter experts to generate test bench specifications that will be used by the software engineers to implement the test bench code. The result of this effort will be a commercially available software product that will help crew station designers more effectively understand and apply human factors principles in the design process.

This article zooms in on the daily practices of newspaper production journalists. In three semi-structured interviews with sub-editors employed by a Belgian newspaper, I test the practical application of the ‘production values’ I formulated, that is, guidelines that help them ensure accuracy, readability, appeal and credibility of their newspaper. By not only ‘member checking’ previous findings with sub-editors but also including the layout designers’ input on their collaborative process, I re(de)fine my original set of production values. My data suggest that in this particular newsroom the layout designer’s voice can be heard louder than ever. By ‘designing’ the news, sub-editors and layout designers add all-important journalistic value to their publications.

In recent years, a number of new speech and language tests for children have appeared. Of interest is whether these new tests help to define language disorders in such a way as to identify children with problems, delineate their problems, and provide useful intervention strategies. The focus of this paper is the Test of Problem Solving (1984). The designers claim that their "cognition-language" test assesses integration of semantic, linguistic and reasoning ability and taps skills needed for academic success and social acceptance. The content validity of the test is challenged through a replication experiment.

"GEOMETRICAL BENCHMARKING OF LASER POWDER BED FUSION SYSTEMS BASED ON DESIGNER NEEDS." Proceedings of the Design Society 1 (July 27, 2021): 1657–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/pds.2021.427.
AbstractCommercially available metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) systems are steadily evolving. Thus, design limitations narrow and the diversity of achievable geometries widens. This progress leads researchers to create innovative benchmarks to understand the new system capabilities. Thereby, designers can update their knowledge base in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). To date, there are plenty of geometrical benchmarks that seek to develop generic test artefacts. Still, they are often complex to measure, and the information they deliver may not be relevant to some designers. This article proposes a geometrical benchmarking approach for metal L-PBF systems based on the designer needs. Furthermore, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) characteristics enhance the approach. A practical use-case is presented, consisting of developing, manufacturing, and measuring a meaningful and straightforward geometric test artefact. Moreover, optical measuring systems are used to create a tailored uncertainty map for benchmarking two different L-PBF systems.

During the conceptual design stages, designers often have incomplete knowledge about the interactions among design parameters. We are developing a methodology that will enable designers to create models with levels of detail and accuracy that correspond to the current state of the design process. Thus, designers can create a rough surrogate model when only a few data points are available and then refine the model as the design progresses and more information becomes available. These surrogates represent the system response when limited information is available and when few realizations of experiments or numerical simulations are possible. This paper presents a covariance-based approach for building multistage surrogates in the conceptual design stages when bounds for the response are not available a priori. We test the methodology using a one-dimensional analytical function and a heat transfer problem with an analytical solution, in order to obtain error measurements. We then illustrate the use of the methodology in a thermal design problem for wearable computers. The surrogate model enables the designer to understand the relationships among the design parameters.

Creativity is important and constitutes a part of competitiveness in all walks of life. In the case of designers’ visual images, creativity is vital. Based on the perspective of visual design, visual image thinking has always been a widely used thinking mode in the field of design. Regarding whether or not other sensory stimuli can also provide a source of inspiration for designers, many studies have pointed out that different sources of inspiration can create different thinking patterns and even affect the behavior of a designer. Therefore, this study explores whether or not different sensory stimuli have an impact on the thinking of a designer, which in turn allows the designer to spark different inspirations. Here, we explore the relationships between creativity and vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. In this study, novice designers are required to use their creativity to design their works. Through the execution of design tasks, works are produced in two stages. First of all, a scenic spot is decided as the main theme, while the data of the field are collected through observation and experience. Next, the five senses are used to feel the stimulation delivered by the field when located in the field. Last but not least, the five stimuli are transformed into abstract visual pictures. Different sensory stimuli do affect the thinking of a designer and inspire different types of works. A multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) forecasting method is also used to establish a method for evaluating creative designs. By making a comparison between the students and the experts, the results of the creative thinking test show that different sensory stimuli do affect the thinking of a designer and inspire different types of works.

Considering the scattering difference in resistance of the strain gauge which will cause the bridge unbalance, the designers of strain measurement instrument have to add bridge-balance circuit into the design of measuring bridge in order to eliminate the problem of a DC component output caused by the unbalance. Thus, in the design of the bridge-balance circuit, the selection of balance resistances is of great significance. In this paper, through calculation analysis of the balance bridge, we obtained a couple of ideal values of balance resistances and tested them by experiments. In this condition, the experimental results have shown that the circuit has a great ability of regulation equilibrium. In brief, this paper provides the designers an effective method of choosing the balance resistances.

The following study examines the construction of the national tests in history. The study has analyzed the work processes of the construction of the test at different moments, such as design, conduct and evaluation, from the perspective of the test designers and the test manager at the National Agency for Education. The purpose is to see how the test designers’ previous experiences are reflected in the work process with national test and what problems, challenges and limitations they have in their work. The study is based on qualitative interviews and has used the validity theory as an analytical framework. The results show, among other things, that the work process of the national tests begins with the group interpreting the curriculum for history. The interpretation is written down in the so-called construct which is sent to the National Agency for Education for further review. The test designers performed various evaluations of the tests throughout the whole work process. The National Agency for Education conducted a large survey after completing tests that the teachers answer. The results also show different limitations, problems, and challenges of the test design. The framework of the test limits for example the design; what the test should look like, pictures and question construction, it systematizes the test. The processes of the conduction of the test in schools is also completely controlled by the National Agency for Education and the test does not necessarily reflect the teaching that is conducted in the classroom. Another problem is that communication with the active teachers is rather one-sided. Challenges that the test designers face includes setting grade requirements and stable results.

Kakade, Jayawant Shridhar. "METHODS TO MINIMIZE LINEAR DEPENDENCIES IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL SCAN DESIGNS." OpenSIUC, 2008. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/256.
Two-dimensional scan design is an effective BIST architecture that uses multiple scan chains in parallel to test the Circuit Under Test (CUT). Linear Finite State Machines (LFSMs) are often used as on-board Pseudo Random Pattern Generators (PRPGs) in two-dimensional scan designs. However, linear dependencies present in the LFSM generated test-bit sequences adversely affect the resultant fault coverage in two-dimensional scan designs. In this work, we present methods that improve the resultant fault coverage in two-dimensional scan designs through the minimization of linear dependencies. Currently, metric of channel separation and matrix-based metric are used in order to estimate linear dependencies in a CUT. When the underlying sub-circuit (cone) structure of a CUT is available, the matrix-based metric can be used more effectively. Fisrt, we present two methods that use matrix-based metric and minimize the overall linear dependencies in a CUT through explicitly minimizing linear dependencies in the highest number of underlying cones of the CUT. The first method minimizes linear dependencies in a CUT through the selection of an appropriate LFSM structure. On the other hand, the second method synthesizes a phase shifter for a specified LFSM structure such that the overall linear dependencies in a CUT are minimized. However, the underlying structure of a CUT is not always available and in such cases the metric of channel separation can be used more effectively. The metric of channel separation is an empirical measure of linear dependencies and an ad-hoc large channel separation is imposed between the successive scan chains of a two-dimensional scan design in order to minimize the linear dependencies. Present techniques use LFSMs with additional phase shifters (LFSM/PS) as PRPGs in order to obtain desired levels of channel separation. We demonstrate that Generalized LFSRs (GLFSRs) are a better choice as PRPGs compared to LFSM/PS and obtain desired levels of channel separations at a lower hardware cost than the LFSM/PS. Experimental results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed methods through increased levels of the resultant fault coverage in two-dimensional scan designs.

Traditional methods to test integrated circuits (ICs) require enormous amount of memory, which make them increasingly expensive and unattractive. This thesis addresses this issue for scan-based designs by proposing a method to compress and decompress input test patterns. By storing the test patterns in a compressed format, the amount of memory required to test ICs can be reduced to manageable levels. The thesis describes the compression and decompression scheme in details. The proposed method relies on the insertion of a decompression unit on the chip. During test application, the patterns are decompressed by the decompression unit as they are applied. Hence, decompression is done on-the-fly in hardware and does not slow down test application. The design of the decompression unit is treated in depth and a design is proposed that minimizes the amount of extra hardware required. In fact, the design of the decompression unit uses flip-flops already on the chip: it is implemented without inserting any additional flip-flops. The proposed scheme is applied in two different contexts: (1) in (external) deterministic-stored testing, to reduce the memory requirements imposed on the test equipment; and (2) in built-in self test, to design a test pattern generator capable of generating deterministic patterns with modest area and memory requirements. Experimental results are provided for the largest ISCAS'89 benchmarks. All of these results point to show that the proposed technique greatly reduces the amount of test data while requiring little area overhead. Compression factors of more than 20 are reported for some circuits.

Khursheed, Syed Saqib. "Test and diagnosis of resistive bridges in multi-Vdd designs." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2010. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/143519/.
A key design constraint of circuits used in hand-held devices is the power consumption, mainly due to battery life limitations. Adaptive power management (APM) techniques aim to increase the battery life by adjusting the supply voltage (Vdd) and operating frequency, according to the workload. APM-enabled devices raise a number of challenges for existing manufacturing test and diagnosis techniques, as certain defects exhibit Vdd dependent detectability. This means that to achieve 100% fault coverage, APM-enabled devices should be tested at all operating voltages using repetitive tests. Repetitive tests at several Vdd settings are undesirable as it increases the cost of manufacturing test. This thesis provides two new and cost-effective Design for Test (DFT) techniques to avoid repetitive tests thereby reducing test cost. The first technique uses test point insertion (TPI) to reduce the number of test Vdd settings. TPI capitalizes on the observation that each resistive bridge defect consists of a large number of logic faults, including detectable and non-detectable logic faults. It targets resistive bridges requiring test at higher Vdd settings, and converts un-detectable logic faults at the lowest Vdd setting, into detectable logic faults by using test points. Test points provide additional controllability and observability at the fault site. TPI has shown encouraging results in terms of reducing the number of test Vdd settings, however it does not achieve single Vdd test for all designs. Taking this issue into account, another gate sizing (GS) based DFT technique is proposed. It targets bridges that require multi-Vdd test and increases the drive strength of gates driving such bridges. The number of test Vdd settings are reduced minimizing test cost. Experimental results show that for all designs, the proposed GS technique achieves 100% fault coverage at a single Vdd setting; in addition it has a lower overhead than the TPI in terms of timing, area and power. The Vdd dependent detectability of resistive bridges demands re-evaluation of existing diagnosis techniques, as all existing techniques use a single voltage setting for fault diagnosis, which may have a negative impact on diagnosis accuracy, affecting subsequent design cycle and yield. This thesis proposes a novel and cost-effective technique to improve diagnosis accuracy of resistive bridges in APM-enabled designs. It evaluates the impact of varying supply voltage on the accuracy of diagnosis and demonstrates how additional voltage settings can be leveraged to improve the diagnosis accuracy through a novel multi-voltage diagnosis algorithm. The diagnosis cost is reduced by identifying the most useful voltage settings and by eliminating tests at other voltages thereby achieving high diagnosis accuracy at reduced cost. All developed test and diagnosis techniques have been validated using simulations with ISCAS and ITC benchmarks, realistic fault models and actual bridges extracted from physical layouts.

The dialysis membrane is a key component of the haemodialyser. Determination of the membrane solute permeation and ultrafiltration characteristics is important in predicting haemodialyser performance. In some membrane permeation test cells, there are additional mass transfer resistances present due to fluid films adjacent to the membrane surface. This can mask the true permeability of the membrane. Test cell designs should therefore seek to minimise or eliminate any fluid film resistances In this project, solute permeability results were compared using two types of permeation test cells, namely a radial flow cell and a dynamic test cell. In the radial flow cell, fluid streams are directed perpendicular to the membrane surfaces in an attempt to reduce the fluid film thickness. In the dynamic test cell, the fluid streams are passed at high velocity through an open-pore rigid metal support structure that generates localised mixing at the membrane surfaces. Fluid film resistances are proportionately greater for the transfer of low molecular weight solutes and for high flux membranes. Therefore, the transfer of urea (60 mol wt) was studied in a polyacrylonitrile-based membrane AN69ST. Permeability of a higher molecular weight solute, caffeine, (194.2 mol wt) was also determined.

Abstract In the stage of prototype practice, the maker mainly works by himself, but it needs to test and adapt to find correct fabrication method when maker didn’t have clearly fabrication description. Therefore, rapid prototyping is very important in the prototype practice of the maker. “Design- Fabrication-Assembly” (DFA)- an integration prototyping process which helps designers in creating kinetic skin by following a holistic process. However, DFA lacks a medium for communication between design, fabrication and assembly status. This paper proposes a solution called co-existing Fabrication System (CoFabs) by combining multiple sensory components and visualization feedbacks. We combine mixed reality (MR) and the concept of digital twin (DT)–a device that uses a virtual interface to control a physical mechanism for fabrication and assembly. By integrating virtual and physical, CoFab allows designers using different methods of observation to prototype more rigorously and interactively correct design decisions in real-time.

AbstractUnfortunately, we cannot rely on designed and possibly already manufactured systems to operate as expected. These systems may have become defective during their use, or their function may have been compromised during the fabrication or their design. The purpose of testing is to verify whether or not an existing embedded/cyber-physical system can be operated as expected. In this chapter, we will present fundamental terms and techniques for testing. There will be a brief introduction to the aims of test pattern generation and their application. We will be introducing terms such as fault model, fault coverage, fault simulation, and fault injection. Also, we will be presenting techniques which improve testability, including the generation of pseudo-random patterns, and signature analysis. It would be beneficial to consider testability issues already during design. In case of fault-tolerant systems, resilience must be verified.

A battery of tests assessing the cognitive skills needed for the conceptual design is being developed. Tests on Divergent thinking and visual thinking are fully developed and validated. The first version of the qualitative reasoning test has also been developed; this paper focuses on the lessons learned from testing of the first version of the test (alpha version) and the improvements made to it since then. A number of problems were developed for each indicator of the qualitative reasoning skill (deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, analogical reasoning, and abductive reasoning). Later, a protocol study was done with the problems to make sure that the problems assess the desired skills. The problems were also given to a randomly chosen population of undergraduate senior-level or graduate-level engineering students. Data was collected from the test results on the possible correlations between the problems (e.g. technical and non-technical problems); feedback on clarity, time allocation, and difficulty for each problem was also collected. Based on all of the observed correlations, the average performance of the test takers, and test parameters such as validity, reliability, etc. the beta version of the test is constructed.

A modernized Overhead Cable System prototype for a 689 ft (210 m) Improved Ribbon Bridge crossing was designed, assembled, and structurally tested. Two independent structural tests were executed, i.e., a component-level compression test of the BSS tower was performed to determine its load capacity and failure mode; and a system-level ‘dry’ test of the improved OCS prototype was conducted to determine the limit state and failure mode of the entire OCS. In the component-level compression test of the BSS tower, the compressive capacity was determined to be 102 kips, and the failure mode was localized buckling in the legs of the tower section. During system-level testing, the prototype performed well up to 40.5 kips of simulated drag load, which corresponds to a uniformly distributed current velocity of 10.7 ft/s. If a more realistic, less conservative parabolic velocity distribution is assumed instead, the drag load for an 11 ft/s current is 21.1 kips. Under this assumption, the improved OCS prototype has a factor of safety of 1.9, based on a 689-ft crossing and 11-ft/s current. The OCS failed when one of the tower guy wires pulled out of the ground, causing the tower to overturn.
