Books about Self checking from Amazon.com

Stop worrying about:
·Risk and danger
·Being irresponsible or careless
·Causing accidents and making mistakes
·Unintentionally harming or offending someone
·Being criticized.

Imagine being unable to leave the house without first checking the stove, the faucets, the lock on the door ten, fifteen, twenty times. Even performing the simplest daily routines can be a source of considerable fear and anxiety for someone suffering from one of the most often seen forms of obsessive-complusive disorder, checking.people with compulsive checking engage in these kinds of behaviors to avoid some perceived danger, the looming consequence they fear if they don't check and recheck and check again the objects of their obsession. Even though compulsive checking can be devastating, research suggests that behavior therapy can enable 75 percent of checkers to significantly reduce or eliminate their symptoms.

While many books offer strategies for treating the whole spectrum of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, this is the first book to apply the proven-effective techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy specifically to overcome checking. Its engaging exercises teach you how to face, embrace, and erase your fears. And when the fears are eliminated there is no further need for compulsions. Chapters further help you to troubleshoot particularly difficult situations and educate family members and loved ones..

With VLSI chip transistors getting smaller and smaller, today's digital systems are more complex than ever before. This increased complexity leads to more cross-talk, noise, and other sources of transient errors during normal operation. Traditional off-line testing strategies cannot guarantee detection of these transient faults. And with critical applications relying on faster, more powerful chips, fault-tolerant, self-checking mechanisms must be built in to assure reliable operation.

Self-Checking and Fault-Tolerant Digital Design deals extensively with self-checking design techniques and is the only book that emphasizes major techniques for hardware fault tolerance. Graduate students in VLSI design courses as well as practicing designers will appreciate this balanced treatment of the concepts and theory underlying fault tolerance along with the practical techniques used to create fault-tolerant systems.

* Introduces reliability theory and the importance of maintainability
* Presents coding and the construction of several error detecting and correcting codes
* Discusses in depth, the available techniques for fail-safe design of combinational circuits
* Details checker design techniques for detecting erroneous bits and encoding output of self-checking circuits
* Demonstrates how to design self-checking sequential circuits, including a technique for fail-safe state machine design.
