    Abstract: A device for measuring electrical properties of electrical contacts within an electroplating apparatus has a disc-shaped structure like that of a wafer. Multiple conductive pads are formed to collectively circumscribe an outer periphery of the disc-shaped structure. Adjacently positioned ones of the conductive pads are electrically isolated from each other. The device includes a current source that supplies electric current at a first terminal and sinks electric current at a second terminal. The device includes measurement circuitry, having first and second input terminals, that determines a value of an electrical parameter based on signals present at the first and second input terminals. The device includes switching circuitry for connecting selected ones of the conductive pads to the first and second terminals of the current source and to the first and second input terminals of the measurement circuitry at a given time. The device also includes an onboard power supply.

    Abstract: A probe card includes a probe seat having upper and lower dies and a probe accommodating hole, a spring probe inserted through the probe accommodating hole and including a spring sleeve having upper and lower non-spring sections, and a circuit board disposed on the upper die and having a contact pad against which the spring probe is abutted. At least one of the upper and lower dies has a stopping surface partially facing the probe accommodating hole and an extended portion inserting hole in alignment with the probe accommodating hole. At least one of the upper and lower non-spring sections has a cylinder portion abutted on the stopping surface and an extended portion inserted through the extended portion inserting hole.

    Abstract: An apparatus senses properties of a fluid. The apparatus has a pipe section, a valve, and an instrument. The pipe section has an envelope, through which a flow of the fluid is coupled between a tank of an electrical power device and a cooling device. The envelope is disposed about a longitudinal axis, and has a penetration disposed laterally, relative to the longitudinal axis. The valve is disposed within the one or more penetrations and has a closed position and an open position. The instrument is operable for the sensing of the fluid properties, and has a probe disposed in contact with the fluid through the valve in the open position.

    Abstract: A partial discharge detection apparatus detects a plurality of discharge events, finds a time interval between the plurality of discharge events, and determines, where the discharge events occur at a time interval shorter than a threshold time, that a partial discharge has occurred within a metal enclosure, or determines, where the discharge events occur only at a time interval longer than the threshold time, that a discharge has occurred outside the metal enclosure. The partial discharge detection apparatus can thus readily distinguish between a partial discharge that occurs within the metal enclosure of a gas-insulated switchgear and a discharge that occurs outside the metal enclosure.
