Teradyne’s Tactics to Tackle Twenty-First Century Test

When I was a young sprout, I used to work for a pair of sister companies called Cirrus Designs and Cirrus Computers in the UK. While at Cirrus Designs, I learned all* about testing integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Meanwhile, at Cirrus Computers, I learned all* about digital logic simulation, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), and automatic test equipment (ATE). (*When I say “ … Read More → "Teradyne’s Tactics to Tackle Twenty-First Century Test"

Blumind Bodes AI For Everyone, Everywhere

As I’ve mentioned several times on previous occasions, when I commenced my degree course in Control Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University in England circa the mid-1970s, the only computer available to the students that physically resided in the engineering department building was a room-sized analog beast. In this case, we implemented our algorithms using plug-in cables to connect the various analog functions. … Read More → "Blumind Bodes AI For Everyone, Everywhere"

The Future Sounds Incredible (When Employing Ultrasonic Speaker Technology)

I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll doubtless say it many times again—I’m a simple man who likes a simple story—something I can wrap my poor old noggin around without tears of confusion rolling down my cheeks and sans my brains leaking out of my ears.

Happily, the tale I’m poised to impart is simple in … Read More → "The Future Sounds Incredible (When Employing Ultrasonic Speaker Technology)"

What Is Time, What Time Is It, and Why Do We Care?

I’ve made mention of this before, but it bears repeating; when I was a little lad growing up in England, it seemed to me that, as soon as two or more adults huddled together, they had only three main topics of conversation. They started with the weather—how it was today, how this compared to the past 50 years, and what we might expect in the … Read More → "What Is Time, What Time Is It, and Why Do We Care?"
