Abstract:
A surface profile measuring method using a broad bandwidth light source illuminating a sample surface and a reference surface through a splitter is provided. By changing a distance between the sample surface and the reference surface with a constant step, an interference diagram with a waveform composed of interference data points depicting a relationship of surface height versus illumination intensity is generated. In the beginning, a first data point with greatest illumination intensity is selected from the interference data points on the waveform. Then, a second data point is selected from the data points on the waveform within a predetermined range centered at the first data point to have the waveform showing best quality of symmetry. Then, a peak of a fringe defined by the second data point and its neighboring data points is estimated by using phase compensating approach.
Abstract:
It's a type of top mount surface airflow heatsink, utilizing the upper ceiling wall separated by an air gap, working together with the upper surface of a heating device (microprocessor) producing an air current. It's a simple device, with a low cost using the Reynolds Equation Re=(ρumd)/μ≧2,500; with ρ being the fluid density, um being the free-stream fluid velocity, d being the pipe distance or diameter, μ being the fluid viscosity. Since the airflow produces air turbulence, it causes the frequent heat exchanges in the air. It also causes the obvious temperature changes within the different layers of air. Therefore, it increases tremendously, the efficiency of dissipating the heat. It requires only the input of the air. The operation is simple and it allows the usage of even higher heat generating devices. Thus it promotes the alternative usage of this top mount heatsink device within the installation of circuit board components.

A method for automatic dispatching IP addresses to each testing apparatus in a testing system, according to this method, the testing system can automatically dispatch IP addresses to the each respective apparatus. The each testing apparatus comprises a testing circuit board for positioning a circuit element/device under test thereon; a network interface device, which is installed on the testing circuit board and stores an internal code; and a memory device connected to the testing circuit board, respectively. Thus the testing system can control each testing apparatus, so as to avoid labor consumption caused by repetitive dispatch of the IP addresses, as well as the loss due to shutdown of the product lines. Therefore, this method can solve the above-mentioned problems simultaneously.

A repairing method for a surface profile is provided. The intensity on the waveform of the interference diagrams or the existence of envelope on the waveform of the interference diagram are used to decide whether the respected pixel is located in a dark area on the surface profile or not. Then, mark the pixel located in the dark area. Afterward, repair the marked pixel by using the surrounding effective pixels on the surface profile.
