Abstract: A method and apparatus which enables a user to streamline the number of results presented to the user during a search session most typically performed over the Internet. The present invention allows the user to select specific results from a search result set which are to be excluded and are not to reappear in a subsequent result set in the search session. The present invention is capable of automatically excluding results from a search result set unless the user specifically flags the specific search results they want to keep and have reappear in a subsequent result set in the search session. This allows a user to save time during a search session by not having to view repeated results, and allows the user to focus on more relevant and related results.

Abstract: A system for locating electrically conductive contact points on an integrated circuit semiconductor substrate utilizes capacitance and line continuity measurements to control and direct the movement of a two-point probe tester in order to locate and precisely align each test probe with designated contact points. The system is capable of testing for continuity conditions or defects and perform other related electrical measurements.
