AMPLITUDE, FREQUENCY, AVERAGING DEFINITIONS IN TEST SYSTEMS DESIGN

An acoustic method is proposed for cellular phone automatic vibration testing. Acoustic waves induced by cellular phone vibration, are picked up by test system microphone and acquired by PC sound blaster. Acquired signal is analyzed to evaluate vibration frequency and amplitude. Test criterion is met when vibration frequency and amplitude are in predefined limits. Relevant amplitude and frequency definition as well as averaging method are proposed to achieve test reliability and robustness. Some acquisition synchronization issues are considered. Acoustic test method, amplitude, frequency and averaging estimation technique are implemented on Lab View and Test Stand platform.

Once my text file was spoiled by a computer virus, which changed the definite letters of the alphabet by some useless signs. Thanks to my curiosity I put down the abolished letters on a piece of paper and after some short transpositions I made up a word "madness". Thus, hacker hooliganism has become the symbol of the situation, the analysis of which has lead to the appearance of the following conception. The first notes on this conception were published by me 10 years ago ( the article "Conceptual Mentality. Metre of Existence" in a philosophic magazine "Vsemir", 1991, #2, Krasnoyarsk). But the difference between nous-programs and nous -viruses given in that article was not very precise.
