  1. Berw Fault

    The Berw Fault is a SW NE trending Fault geology fault in North Wales . It forms part of the Menai Straits fault System, with the Dinorwic Fault and the Aber Dinlle Fault . It has a long history of movement with early ductile fabrics preserved from a sinistral left lateral strike slip sense shear zone active at the end of the Precambrian and in to the early Cambrian . Any Caledonian deformation is unclear but the fault zone was reactivated in the Carboniferous as a NW throwing normal fault with Reflection seismology seismic reflection data showing the formation of a Graben Half graben half graben in its hanging wall. There are no indications of inversion during the Variscan Orogeny , but the fault was reactivated in a normal sense during the Permian and Triassic and again during the Cenozoic with a sinistral strike slip sense. ref name Tim cite journal last Needham first T. coauthors Morgan R. year 1997 title The East Irish Sea and adjacent basins new faults or old? journal Journal of the Geological Society volume 154 issue 1 pages 145 150 doi 10.1144 gsjgs.154.1.0145 url http jgs.lyellcollection.org cgi content abstract 154 1 145 accessdate 18 December 2010 ref See also List of geological faults of Wales References Reflist coord 53.22 4.34 display title Category Geology of Wales geology stub Wales geo stub ...   more details

Fault breccia IPAc en icon b r t i or IPAc en b r i Italian for breach , or tectonic breccia , is a breccia a rock geology rock type consisting of angular clast s that was formed by tectonics tectonic forces. Fault breccia is a tectonite formed by localized zone of brittle deformation a fault geology fault zone in a rock. Origin Fault breccias are tectonites formed primarily by tectonic movement along a localized zone of brittle deformation a fault geology fault zone in a rock formation or province. The grinding and milling occurring when the two sides of the fault zone moving along each other results in a material that is made of loose fragments. Because of this fragmentation fault zones are easily infiltrated by groundwater . Secondary minerals such as calcite , epidote , quartz or talc can precipitation chemistry precipitate from the circulating groundwater filling the voids and cementing the rock. However, when the tectonic movement along the fault zone continues the cement itself can be fragmented leading to a new gouge material containing neoformed clasts. Deeper in the Earth s crust geology crust , where temperatures and pressures are higher, the rocks in the fault zone can still brecciate, but they keep their internal cohesion.

  1. Fault model

    Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 A fault model is an engineering model of something that could go wrong in the construction or operation of a piece of equipment. From the model, the designer or user can then predict the consequences of this particular fault. Fault models can be used in almost all branches of engineering. Basic fault models in digital circuit s include the stuck at fault model. A signal, or gate output, is stuck at a 0 or 1 value, independent of the inputs to the circuit. the bridging fault model. Two signals are connected together when they should not be. Depending on the logic circuitry employed, this may result in a wired OR or wired AND logic function. Since there are O n 2 potential bridging faults, they are normally restricted to signals that are physically adjacent in the design. The open fault model. Here a wire is assumed broken, and one or more inputs are disconnected from the output that should drive them. As with bridging faults, the resulting behavior depends on the circuit implementation. The delay fault model, where the signal eventually assumes the correct value, but more slowly or rarely, more quickly than normal. A fault model in an Aerospace context is a set of structured information which helps users or systems to identify and isolate a problem that occurs on an engine, Line replaceable unit LRU , or Auxiliary power unit APU during a flight. Associated with this fault model may be a suggested repair procedure along with references to Aircraft maintenance manuals Light maintenance manual .

  1. Stuck-at fault

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Merge Single stuck line date February 2010 A stuck at fault is a particular fault model used by fault simulators and automatic test pattern generation ATPG tools to mimic a manufacturing defect within an integrated circuit . Individual signals and pins are assumed to be stuck at Logical 1 , 0 and X . For example, an output is tied to a logical 1 state during test generation to assure that a manufacturing defect with that type of behavior can be found with a specific test pattern. Likewise the output could be tied to a logical 0 to model the behavior of a defective circuit that cannot switch its output Not all faults can be analyzed using the stuck at fault model. Compensation for static hazards, namely branching signals, can render a circuit untestable using this model. Also, redundant circuits cannot be tested using this model, since by design there is no change in any output as a result of a single fault.

  1. Double fault

    Unreferenced date December 2009 about the CPU error the tennis term serve tennis On the x86 architecture, a double fault exception occurs if the central processing unit processor encounters a problem while trying to service a pending interrupt or Exception handling exception . An example situation when a double fault would occur is when an interrupt is triggered but the segment in which the interrupt handler resides is invalid. If the processor encounters a problem when calling the double fault handler, a triple fault is generated and the processor shuts down. As double faults can only happen due to kernel computing kernel bugs, they are rarely caused by user space programs in a modern protected mode operating system , unless the program somehow gains kernel access some virus computing virus es and also some low level DOS programs . Other processors like PowerPC or SPARC generally save state to predefined and reserved machine registers. A double fault will then be a situation where another exception happens while the processor is still using the contents of these registers to process the exception. SPARC processors have four levels of such registers, i.e. they have a Register window 4 window register system .
