TLDR
In this article, a set of "tasks" are defined for changing the states of multiple-state resources and causing software resources to produce output data, and a sequence of tasks is produced -to control the systems so as to assure valid data collection and protect physical resources from abuse.Abstract:
Computer-controlled test and measurement systems, including resources having multiple states and resources having multiple inputs, are modeled as data flow diagrams of topologically interconnected resources. A set of "tasks" are defined for changing the states of multiple-state resources and causing software resources to produce output data. Methods and apparatus, including internal and external task ordering rules, are provided to automatically interleave such tasks and implement input-ordering restrictions. Thereby, a sequence of tasks is produced - to control the systems so as to assure valid data collection and protect physical resources from abuse. Data structures are illustrated for implementing the invention in an object-oriented programming environment.read more

A method of testing printed circuit boards
TL;DR: In this article, a functional test for a loaded printed circuit board is automatically generated by pattern matching with pre-defined cluster models contained in a library, and then a generic test routine is retrieved from the model and used to generate the functional test.

Object-oriented system having shared-persistent class pattern specification
TL;DR: In this article, an object-oriented system includes a base class and a related derived class, and a state selector class provides state selection to the base class through aggregation, where each class includes an internal object having a pair of internal states and a selector operative there between which responds to the derived class.

Method for automatically obtaining an operational sequence of processes and a corresponding tool therefor
TL;DR: In this article, a process that does not have any input with the attribute input value of the same calculation cycle is determined as the first process of a calculation cycle and, in successive analogous steps, determines a quantity of possible sequences.
