Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

“Compression ratio” is a term thrown around a lot when you’re talking about engine specs, but what does it really mean? For the most part, when people are talking about an engine’s compression ratio, ...

“Too little compression will usually result in unmet performance expectations. On the high side [too much compression] carries greater risk in tuning and potential component failure if appropriately ...

A four-stroke (or four-cycle) engine is so called because in the process of producing power, the piston passes up and down the bore four times. These strokes or events are the induction, compression, ...

Harry Ricardo built the first known variable compression ratio engine as a test engine in the 1920s to study knock in aircraft engines. Variable compression ratio was achieved by raising or lowering ...

The ability to control test cost while design sizes have grown exponentially is a success story that relies on the invention and continuous improvement of embedded test compression. One way test ...
