A LOW-POWER AND AREA-EFFICIENT DESIGN OF A WEIGHTED PSEUDORANDOM TEST-PATTERN GENERATOR FOR A TEST-PER-SCAN BUILT-IN SELF-TEST ARCHITECTURE

A Low-Power and Area-Efficient Design of a Weighted Pseudorandom Test-Pattern Generator for a Test-Per-Scan Built-in Self-Test Architecture

A test pattern generator generates a pseudorandom test pattern that can be weighted to reduce the fault coverage in a built-in self-test.The objective of this paper is to propose a new weighted TPG for a scan-based BIST architecture.The motivation of this work is to generate efficient weighted patterns for enabling scan chains with reduced power co

Evidence for Sexual Dimorphism in the Plated Dinosaur Stegosaurus mjosi (Ornithischia, Stegosauria) from the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic) of Western USA.

Conclusive evidence for sexual dimorphism in non-avian dinosaurs has been elusive.Here it is shown that dimorphism in the shape of the Glasses dermal plates of Stegosaurus mjosi (Upper Jurassic, western USA) does not result from non-sex-related individual, interspecific, or ontogenetic variation and is most likely a sexually dimorphic feature.One m
