Inventor: MOHTASHAM MEHDI
IPC: H01H1/20
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A contact assembly comprising a plurality of pairs of spaced apart fixed
contacts supported in an electrically insulating body, an actuator displaceable relative
to the body between first and second positions, and a plurality of moveable contacts
mounted on the actuator. Each moveable contact is positioned on the actuator so as to
interconnect the contacts of one of the pairs of fixed contacts only when the actuator
is in one of the first and second positions. Each fixed contact has two limbs defining
an L-shape, one limb defining a single leg which extends through an aperture formed
in a partition defined by the body and the other limb extending to one side of the leg
to define a head supporting a terminal for gripping a wire. Each moveable contact is
displaceable into contact with the leg of each of the respective pairs of fixed contacts
on the side of the leg from which the head extends and on the side of the partition
remote from the head.

Abstract: A printer apparatus terminates printing and discharges
paper when an interface is disconnected during a printing
process, whereby the next print data is received and is
appropriately printed. In particular, when a printer
apparatus that selectively uses a plurality of interfaces to
receive print data from one of plurality of host units so
that the print data can be printed by a single printing
mechanism has an error such as interface disconnection
during a process for printing print data received via the
selected interface, the printer apparatus terminates the
printing and discharges paper, whereby when print data is
received via another interface and is printed, the printing
can be smoothly performed without requiring the user to
perform any operation.

straight portion (12) opposite to the foot shape (11) of
the steaming form (10) has a friction surface for
engagement with the band portion (1d) of the sock (1) and
means are provided for varying the friction surface and
releasing the band portion at the end of the steaming
step, in order to withdraw easily the sock in an unloading
station. The friction surface may comprises a plate (31)
having a plurality of holes (33); a plurality of

Abstract: In order to carry out actions such as setting up a call from an entity in the
address realm of one middlebox to an entity in the address realm of
another middlebox, then a middlebox control node such as a call server is
used. Previously, the middlebox control node has needed to have pre-configured
information about all the middleboxes and which address
realms they are associated with. The present invention provides one or
more middlebox-identity-providing nodes which are separate from the
middlebox control node, and which are more directly connected to the end
users of the service than the middlebox control node. This provides
greater flexibility in network design and removes the need for middlebox
information to be pre-configured at the middlebox control node. Instead,
this information is sent to the middlebox control node, as part of signalling
messages, from middlebox-identity-providing nodes.

Abstract: Techniques for performing wafer-level burn-in and test of semiconductor
devices include a test substrate (106 and 108) having active electronic components
(106a, 106b, 106c, 106d) such as ASICs mounted to an interconnection substrate (108)
or incorporated therein, metallic spring contact element (110) effecting
interconnections between the ASICs and a plurality of devices-under-test (DUTs)
(102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) on a wafer-under-test (WUT), all disposed in a vacuum
vessel so that the ASICs can be operated at temperatures independent from and
significantly lower than the burn-in temperature of the DUTs. The spring contact
elements (110) may be mounted to either the DUTs or to the ASICs, and may fan out
to relax tolerance constraints on aligning and interconnecting the ASICs and the
DUTs. A significant reduction in interconnect count and consequent simplification of
the interconnection substrate (108) is realized because the ASICs are capable of
receiving a plurality of signals for testing the DUTs over relatively few signal lines
from a host controller (116) and promulgating these signals over the relatively many
interconnections between the ASICs and the DUTS.

Abstract: A digital matched filter receives an input signal in
natural order, correlates the input signal against a code
and generates a filtered output signal in a permuted order
with respect to the input signal. The code is a
factorization of a first and second patterns. The filter
includes a first filter to correlate against the first code
and a second filter to correlate against the second
pattern. A memory is included to store intermediate values
produced from the first filter correlation operation.
Certain ones of the intermediate values are selectively
retrieved from memory in accordance with a unique
addressing scheme for each second filter correlation
operation. More specifically, the addressing scheme allows
retrieved intermediate values to be reused in successive
second filter correlations. The permuted order outputs of
the filter are of no concern in many applications, like
cell searching, where buffering is available.
