Given a resistive electrical network, we would like to determine whether all the resistances (edges) in the network are working, and if not, identify which edge (or edges) are faulty. To make this determination, we are allowed to measure…
Additive Manufacturing (AM), a.k.a. 3D Printing, is increasingly used to manufacture functional parts of safety-critical systems. AM's dependence on computerization raises the concern that the AM process can be tampered with, and a part's…
Resistance switching devices are of special importance because of their application in resistive memories (RRAM) which are promising candidates for replacing current nonvolatile memories and realize storage class memories. These devices…
