    摘要: A membrane probing assembly includes a support element having an incompressible forward support tiltably coupled to a rearward base and a membrane assembly, formed of polyimide layers, with its central region interconnected to the support by an elastomeric layer. Flexible traces form data/signal lines to contacts on the central region. Each contact comprises a rigid beam and a bump located in off-centered location on the beam, which bump includes a contacting portion. After initial touchdown of these contacting portions, further over-travel of the pads causes each beam to independently tilt locally so that different portions of each beam move different distances relative to the support thus driving each contact into lateral scrubbing movement across the pad thereby clearing away oxide buildup. The elastomeric member backed by the incompressible support ensures sufficient scrub pressure and reliable tilt recovery of each contact without mechanical straining of the beam. In an alternative embodiment, the contacts comprise conductive beams each supported on a loose U-shaped flap formed in the membrane assembly where each flap and beam is tiltably supported in inclined position by an elastomeric hub interposed between the flap and support.

    摘要: A probe station includes a fully guarded chuck assembly and connector mechanism for increasing sensitivity to low-level currents while reducing settling times. The chuck assembly includes a wafer-supporting first chuck element surrounded by a second chuck element having a lower component, skirting component and upper component each with a surface portion extending opposite the first element for guarding thereof. The connector mechanism is so connected to the second chuck element as to enable, during low-level current measurements, the potential on each component to follow that on the first chuck element as measured relative to an outer shielding enclosure surrounding each element. Leakage current from the first chuck element is thus reduced to virtually zero, hence enabling increased current sensitivity, and the reduced capacitance thus provided by the second chuck element decreases charging periods, hence reducing settling times. With similar operation and effect, where any signal line element of the connector mechanism is arranged exterior of its corresponding guard line element, such as adjacent the chuck assembly or on the probe-holding assembly, a guard enclosure is provided to surround and fully guard such signal line element in interposed relationship between that element and the outer shielding enclosure.

    摘要: A carwash includes a single thru-beam or retroreflective photoelectric sensor that can determine the position of a vehicle's left side, right side, front end and back end. To accomplish this, the sensor is coupled to a spray arch that travels around the vehicle while spray washing the vehicle's exterior. In some embodiments, the sensor responds to a beam projected from an emitter that also travels with the spray arch, whereby the emitter, the sensor and the spray arch move in unison. The beam is preferably projected at an acute angle to a horizontal plane so that the sensor can detect the presence of the vehicle without the spray arch having to get too close. To avoid over twisting the sensor's electrical cable, the arch alternately rotates CW and CCW to limit cumulative rotation in any one direction. In some cases, the single sensor responds to beams from multiple emitters.

    摘要: A pivotal handle for a food service table is disclosed. The handle includes two elongated, parallel curved bar members. Each member has an outwardly extending arm and an outwardly extending leg. The legs have means for pivotably attaching the handle to the underside of the table. In its operative position, the handle is pivoted upwardly so that the arms are located above the top of the table. Locking means such as a quick release pin is inserted into an opening formed in the leg which locks the handle in place. When the table is ready to be used as a dining table or to be stored, the pin is removed so that the handle may now be rotated downwardly and stored under the table. A spring clip may be attached to the underside of the table which secures the handle in place when the handle is in the stored position.

    摘要: A wafer probe station adapted for low-current measurements provides electrically active upper and lower chuck assembly elements where air gaps are provided between a major portion of either a lower or nonlower surface on the upper chuck assembly element and a corresponding conductive surface on or connected to the lower chuck assembly element thereby minimizing leakage currents therebetween. The chuck assembly elements are preferably enclosed by an environment control enclosure having a sidewall portion relative to which the upper chuck assembly element can move laterally. During such movement, the upper chuck assembly remains in constant spacing with a conductive member that laterally surrounds it so as to stabilize electro-magnetic conditions. Concurrently, the sidewall portion is kept motionless relative to the probe holder which keeps contaminants away from the region immediate to the upper chuck assembly element, including any moisture droplets that have condensed during low-temperature testing. Modularity of the chuck assembly elements is preferably facilitated by detachable electrical connections. Preferably, the lower chuck assembly element, the conductive member and an upper guard plate surround the upper chuck assembly element for guarding thereof so as to further minimize leakage currents and reduce settling times.
