A packaged electronics system, having respective portions each with respective input and output ports, and having interconnection busses between certain of these ports, is tested as follows. Each input port has a set of first transmission gates associated therewith for selectively disconnecting it during testing from the end of each interconnection bus connected bit during normal operation. Each input port has a second set of transmission gates associated therewith for selectively applying test vectors thereto during testing as provided in parallel form from a serially loaded shift register. Each output port connects to the input connections of a respective set of tristate drivers for selectively applying its output signals at relatively low source impedance to at least one interconnection bus connected from the output connections of that set of tristate drivers. A shift register converts the signals appearing in parallel at least one end of each interconnection bus to a concatenation of test results in serial form.

A capacitive commutating filter provides a D. C. output voltage of amplitude responsive to the amplitude of an input waveform having a frequency substantially equal to the operating frequency of the filter. The filter operating frequency is established by a digital signal. The filter input is selectively and cyclically connected through N input resistances, wherein N is an integer greater than zero, to adjacently progressive N ones of (2N+1) nodes, each having one of (2N+1) capacitive filter elements connected to ground potential. The equilibrium voltages across the capacitive filter elements, established during the N/(2N+1) segments of the input waveform during which each capacitor is connected to the input, are coupled to one set each of maximum-positive-polarity and maximum-negative-polarity diodes, for placing the maximum and minimum filter capacitive element voltages at respective ones of the inverting and non-inverting inputs of a differential amplifier, having the output thereof forming the filter output.

A local area network (LAN) of tracked mobile assets which are temporarily located in an area having a high density of mobile assets, such as a railway yard, employs a stationary master tracking unit that is responsible for communicating with mobile tracking units affixed to the mobile assets and transmitting information to a central station. The stationary master tracking unit may be mounted at an elevation, as on a pole, and single or multiple stationary master tracking units may exist in the same vicinity. Each stationary master tracking unit has a constant supply of power and communicates with the central station by way of either satellites or dedicated land line connection. A protocol is provided for communicating between the Stationary master tracking unit and the mobile tracking units. The protocol provides a mechanism for acquiring new mobile tracking units entering the railway yard and a mechanism for releasing mobile tracking units leaving the railway yard.

Apparatus for measuring or compensating for phase or time delay between a reference signal and a desired signal produces an approximate error signal by differentially summing the desired and reference signals. The appoximate error signal is then used, in a feedback loop, to control application of an adaptive delay to each of the reference and desired signals. The total lead or lag difference is represented by the difference between the two delays applied to the reference and desired signals, respectively. The phase or time delay measurement or compensation arrangements may be applied to linear variable differential transformers, synchronous AM detectors, zero crossing detectors and phase locked loops. Variations on this basic technique can yield substantially exact measurement or compensation. The invention is applicable to sampling arrangements including oversampling/decimation or interpolation/decimation to increase compensation accuracy to any desired degree.

Built-in test circuitry, which is appropriate for monolithic integrated circuit chips that are to be connected in a plural-chip package, uses electronic token passing to select one of the test input ports in the circuitry to be tested for application of test input vectors. The built-in test circuitry also uses electronic token passing to select one of the test output ports in the circuitry to be tested from which test results are to be supplied. Methods for testing based on these token passing procedures are described.

A method and apparatus are provided for disposing a polymer film on an irregularly-shaped substrate at relatively high temperatures. In particular, the method and apparatus of the present invention provide a system for the packaging of very large scale integrated circuit chips. The system of the present invention particularly solves problems associated with high temperature processing and problems associated with the highly irregular surfaces that result. Nonetheless, the resultant product is capable of being fashioned into circuit chip systems which are independently testable and which may be reconfigured after testing by removal of the polymer film itself.

An adaptive method and system are disclosed for providing high density interconnections of very large scale integrated circuits on a substrate. The procedure is performed in four basic steps: first an artwork representation for the interconnections of the integrated circuits is generated. This artwork representation is stored in a computer data base and assumes the integrated circuits to be at predetermined ideal locations and positions on the substrate. Second, using imaging, the actual positions of each integrated circuit on the substrate are determined. The actual positions of the integrated circuits are compared with their ideal positions to compute an offset and rotation for each integrated circuit on the substrate. Third, the computed offsets and rotations are then used to modify the artwork representation stored in the data base to account for the actual locations and positions of the integrated circuits on the substrate. Finally, the modified artwork representation is used to drive a direct writing laser lithography system that actually forms the high density interconnections of the integrated circuits on the substrate. The artwork representations are stored in computer data bases in vector form to minimize storage requirements. The laser beam produced by the lithography system is raster scanned on the substrate. Modulation of the laser beam is controlled by the real time conversion of the vector representation of the modified artwork to be a bit mapped representation. To assure accurate formations of the interconnects, a feedback alignment system is used to accurately position the laser beam throughout its raster scan.

A frame synchronizer having broad applicability in television systems is particularly adapted for use in a chrominance time-compressed, luminance bandwidth reduced television system. The frame synchronizer, which separates the composite video signal into its component parts and thereby minimizes the dynamic range required to digitize the signal, demodulates the chrominance signal into its quadrature components and separates the luminance signal. The synchronization signal in the composite video signal generates slave distribution signals and slave horizontal and vertical addresses. The separated chrominance quadrature components and the luminance signal are digitized and, along with the slave distribution signals and the slave horizontal and vertical addresses, are temporarily stored in first-in, first-out memories which provide independent buffering and thereby accommodate a high degree of mismatch between master and slave timing. The chrominance and luminance data are accumulated in distribution registers and transferred to write registers which provide the data input to a frame buffer memory. Master distribution and master horizontal and vertical addresses are generated from a master synchronization signal along with write and read control signals. The data in the write register is read into the frame buffer memory at the slave horizontal and vertical addresses in response to the write control signal, and data in the frame buffer memory is read out from the master horizontal and vertical addresses in response to the read control signal, converted to analog signals, and combined to form a composite signal.
