Instrumentation and measurement systems have found and enjoyed their performance enhancement through parallel and distributed processing. High speed and density Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are widely-used subsystems of parallel processing and communication systems. New performance models are proposed to evaluate the fault tolerant MIN in this paper, thereby establishing a sound foundation for assuring the performance and reliability of fault tolerant MINs with high confidence level during parallel instrumentation. A concurrent fault detection and recovery scheme for MINs is introduced to enable a generic approach to fault tolerance by rerouting over the redundant interconnection links. A switch architecture to realize the concurrent testing and diagnosis is shown. The proposed performance models are developed and used to evaluate the compound effect of the fault tolerant operations such as testing, diagnosis and recovery on the throughput and delay. Results are shown on single transient and permanent stuck-at fault on links and storage units in switching elements. it is shown that the performance degradation for the overhead due to the fault tolerance is quite graceful while the performance degradation without fault recovery is unacceptable.","PeriodicalId":141111,"journal":{"name":"IMTC/2002.

The retardation of convective cell/particle transport is measured in capillary flow tubes (columns), that have been internally coated with the substance under investigation. Ac-operated electronic gating is used for the determination of the elution rate. The technique is similar to that of HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography). Cell/particle transport however, on column, is totally different from that of solutes: transport mainly takes place at a radial distance about halfway the axis and the wall (Segre-Silberberg effect). At specific flow rates of the carrier, cells/particles contact the wall and may be released again as a consequence of increasing lift and drag. The resulting transport retardation depends on the chemical nature of the capillary wall coatings.","PeriodicalId":141111,"journal":{"name":"IMTC/2002.

As the liquid crystalline clad the nematic mixture W-602 made by Dabrowski's group has been used. The special construction of a device with simple external cross-section secures a possibility to change molecular orientation of the liquid-crystalline clad by external field. Thus, different polarizing action has been obtained depending on fulfillment waveguide condition of the structure.","PeriodicalId":141111,"journal":{"name":"IMTC/2002.

The arbitrary waveform generator introduced in this paper consists of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), a FIFO memory, a video palette, and a PC interface. A program running on the PC creates a digital representation of a waveform according to user parameters and sends it to the DSP's RAM. The DSP algorithmically converts the digital representation to a point-by-point representation of the desired analog signal. The data points are sent to the FIFO buffer, which latches the data to the video palette that serves as the digital to analog converter. The system uses JTAG and a high-speed serial port interface to communicate with the PC, to allow for readily programmed signals. In addition to the production of traditional signals such as sinusoids and squarewaves, a mathematical tool known as splines will be employed to aid in the development of customized arbitrary waveforms. A picture of our new device is presented in the paper, in addition to laboratory measurements.","PeriodicalId":141111,"journal":{"name":"IMTC/2002.
