  2. Otoacoustic emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otoacoustic_emission

    An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a sound that is generated from within the inner ear. Having been predicted by Austrian astrophysicist Thomas Gold in 1948, its existence was first demonstrated experimentally by British physicist David Kemp in 1978, [ 1 ] and otoacoustic emissions have since been shown to arise through a number of different ...

  3. Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_measurement...

    OAE is used in clinical practice to test for hearing deficits in babies and children who are too young to cooperate. The equipment can be made portable and is relatively easy to use. Two approaches have commonly utilized that increase the unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio and facilitate extraction of the OAE waveform: transient evoked ...

  4. Methods used to study memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_used_to_study_memory

    Memory is a complex system that relies on interactions between many distinct parts of the brain. In order to fully understand memory, researchers must cumulate evidence from human, animal, and developmental research in order to make broad theories about how memory works. Intraspecies comparisons are key.

  5. Memory tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_tester

    The diagnostic tools provide memory test patterns which are able to test all system memory in a computer. Diagnostic software cannot be used when a PC is unable to start due to memory or motherboard. While in principle a test program could report its results by sending them to a storage device (e.g., floppy disc) or printer if working, or by ...

  6. Test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-and-set

    In computer science, the test-and-set instruction is an instruction used to write (set) 1 to a memory location and return its old value as a single atomic (i.e., non-interruptible) operation. The caller can then "test" the result to see if the state was changed by the call.

  7. Power-on self-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    A modern PC with a bus rate of around 1 GHz and a 32-bit bus might be 2000x or even 5000x faster, but might have many more gigabytes of memory. With boot times more of a concern now than in the 1980s, the 30- to 60-second memory test adds undesirable delay for a benefit of confidence that is not perceived to be worth that cost by most users.

  8. MemTest86 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86

    Detections of faulty memory are displayed prominently. The application shows which memory locations failed and which patterns made them fail. There are two development streams of MemTest86(+). The original is simply known as MemTest86. The other, known as Memtest86+, is a development fork of the original MemTest86. Their on-screen appearance ...

  9. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    In computing, Physical Address Extension (PAE), sometimes referred to as Page Address Extension, [1] is a memory management feature for the x86 architecture. PAE was first introduced by Intel in the Pentium Pro, and later by AMD in the Athlon processor. [2]
