Patent SG-10201907357T-A (SG)
Title: Integrated circuit (ic) test socket with faraday cage background
Inventor: LANDA VICTOR
Filed: 2015-04-01
Abstract: INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) TEST SOCKET WITH FARADAY CAGE BACKGROUND An integrated circuit test socket includes a highly conductive compliant material that is cut and installed into the test socket. The conductive material draws electrical charge away from the test socket, leading to more accurate testing. The test socket base is grounded, and a ground current runs through the base and into conductive strips. The configuration forms an electromagnetic impulse shield, protecting the chip from electromagnetic interference. The compliance of the shield material allows the shield to be sealed when activated, ensuring that the electromagnetic impulse shield is complete around the semi-conductor chip. Figure 1

Title: Twin-leg camp bed
IPC: A47C19/12
Filed: 1989-05-29
Granted: 1991-11-25
Abstract: The subject of the invention addresses the disadvantage of the risk of tilting backwards in the event of off- centre loading of the two-legged camp beds, in which at least one of the legs comprises two sections 2, 3 which can be pivoted towards each other and, on this leg, a locking mechanism 4 is provided, with which the two mutually pivotable sections 2, 3 of the leg can be secured in a position in which one section 3 of the leg is located so as to lock the other section 2. This disadvantage is avoided by that section 3 of the leg 2, 3 which can be pivoted away comprising two sections can be pivoted outwards, and is pivoted through an acute angle in order to reach the supporting position. As a result of the outward pivoting of the section 3 of the leg that can be pivoted away, the supporting range of the camp bed is enlarged over the normal range, and thus the risk of accident is reduced. <IMAGE>
