Abstract: A multi-point probe, a method for producing the multi-point probe and a cylindrical nano-drive for in particular driving the multi-point probe in a multi-point testing apparatus for testing electric properties on a specific location of a test sample. The multi-point probe comprises a supporting body  defining a first surface, a first multitude of conductive probe arms each of  the conductive probe arms defining a proximal end and a distal end being positioned in co-planar relationship with the first surface of the supportin g body. The conductive probe arms are connected to the supporting body at the proximal ends thereof and have the distal ends freely extending from the supporting body, giving individually flexible motion to the first multitude of conductive probe arms. The conducting probe arms originate from a process of  producing the multi-point probe including producing the conductive probe arm s on a supporting wafer body in facial contact with the supporting wafer body and removal of a part of the wafer body providing the supporting body and providing the conductive probe arms freely extending from the supporting bod y. The multi-point probe further comprises a third multitude of conductive tip elements extending from the distal end of the first multitude of conductive probe arms. The conductive tip elements originate from a process of metallization of electron beam depositions on the first multitude of conductive probe arms at the distal ends thereof.

Patent CA-2409326-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEHR RALF
IPC: B60J10/30
Filed: 2001-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a fixing system for clamping elastic rubber sealing elements, also in the form of hollow chamber profiles on thin-walled supports, for example, chassis sheet metal or other sheet metals with a 3-D external skin contour. Sealing elements, serve in particular on motor vehicles for sealing, damping, gap-filling and similar. A known or related type of clip (1) is arranged on one side of the support (2), with sealing element (4) and clamp strip (3) on the opposite side thereof, such that the fixing is achieved by means of aligned holes on the support, sealing element and clamp strip, through each of which a clip is inserted with the expanding arms pushed through, whereupon the expanding arms lock out and clip in the opposing clamp strip. By means of the above method the clamp strip (3) is thus arranged on a sealing element or within the hollow chamber of a sealing element as a one-piece whole or multi-piece components with a contour fitted to the 3D form of the relevant fixing section. In the fitted state a contiguous pressure is exercised by the clamp strip, by means of the clips on the intermediate regions lying between the support and sealing element, which guarantees a high sealing quality with good design.

Title: Routing engine for telecommunications network
Inventor: BONEWITZ CHRISTOPHER M
IPC: H04L12/725
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A system for automated installation of a communication line using an optimal route between a source location and a destination location is disclosed. The system includes a routing engine providing an automated design process for rendering the optimal route. The routing engine utilizes a routing algorithm to select the optimal route from a graph of capacity links defining a plurality of possible routes between the source and destination locations. If, at any time during the design process, the optimal route or capacity links defining the optimal route are detected as unavailable for any reason, the routing engine re-initiates the design process and thereafter selects a new optimal route based upon a new capacity graph built without the previously unavailable capacity link. Once designed, the available optimal route is provided to a command and control engine, which, in turn, manages the installation of the communication line using the optimal route. The command and control engine manages the process for assigning the optimal route in the provisioning system.
