It comprises optical sensors, optimized for measuring the fluorescence intensity at specific spectral bands, and readout electronics for data processing.

Level shifters are used as interfaces between voltage domains. Through extensive transistor level simulations of resistive open, bridging and resistive short faults, we have classified the testing of level shifters into PASSIVE and ACTIVE modes. We examine if high test coverage can be achieved in the PASSIVE mode. We consider resistive opens and shorts and show that, for testing purposes, consideration of purely digital fault effects is sufficient. Thus conventional digital DfT can be employed to test level shifters. In all cases, we conclude that using sets of single supply voltages for testing is sufficient.","PeriodicalId":176688,"journal":{"name":"2007 14th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122612840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reconstruction process is based on the knowledge of the distribution of the sensors along the curve, represented by a ribbon, and on the associated tangential orientation measurements without any information about their positioning in space, so that this problem is not an envelope problem. We first show how we can obtain these data from sensors and the prototypes we have created. Then we provide methods for planar curves, then for spatial curves and we analyze results with physical sense and convergence in order to validate these methods. Finally, we show some results from both simulated data and real data.","PeriodicalId":176688,"journal":{"name":"2007 14th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127726292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inevitably the complexity of the system will increase. Based on usage scenarios, developed in the project, the system requirements have been defined. The Angel platform -the common foundation for the applications that implement specific services- is based on these requirements.
