20130007546 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TEST OPTIMIZATION USING ADAPTIVE TEST PATTERN SAMPLING ALGORITHM - A method of implementing integrated circuit device testing includes performing baseline testing of a first group of chips using a full set of test patterns, and for chip identified as failing, determining, a score for each test pattern in the full set. The score is indicative of an ability of the test pattern to uniquely identify a failing chip with respect to other test patterns. Following the baseline testing, streamlined testing on a second group of chips is performed, using a reduced set of the test patterns having highest average scores as determined by the baseline testing. Following the streamlined testing, full testing on a third group of chips is performed using the full set of test patterns, and updating the average score for each pattern. Further testing alternates between the streamlined testing and the full testing for additional groups of chips. | 01-03-2013 |

20130137547 | MACHINE POWERTRAIN AND METHOD - A machine powertrain includes an engine operably connected to a torque converter and a transmission. A switch associated with the torque converter provides a locking signal indicative of a locked or unlocked condition of the torque converter. A throttle sensor associated with the throttle provides a throttle signal. An electronic controller receives the locking signal and the throttle signal, and controls operation of the engine at least partially based on the throttle signal and the locking signal. The electronic controller determines whether a locked or unlocked condition of the torque converter is present based on the locking signal, determines whether a part throttle operating condition or a full throttle operating condition is present based on the throttle signal, and selects a derated power curve when the part throttle operating condition is present and when the torque converter switches from the unlocked to the locked condition. | 05-30-2013 |
