Abstract: A gooseneck hinge assembly for a closure of a vehicle includes a body side strap adapted to be connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle and a closure side strap having a gooseneck shape adapted to be connected to a closure for closing an aperture in the vehicle body. The gooseneck hinge assembly also includes a pivot pin to pivotally connect the closure side strap to the body side strap to allow rotational movement therebetween. The gooseneck hinge assembly further includes a spring interconnecting the body side strap and the closure side strap to counterbalance a weight of the closure when opening and closing the aperture.

Abstract: A test fixture for TAB (Tap Automated Bonding) circuits includes circuit boards for maintaining a characteristic impedance to inner lead bond areas of a circuit under test. A plurality of vertically disposed test pins are soldered to conductors in one of the circuit boards, and provide contacts for supplying power and test signals to test pads on a circuit under test. A thermoelectric heat pump is thermally connected to a circuit under test with a copper thermal chuck or heat spreader, and is used to subject the circuit to a wide range of operating temperatures. A two piece anvil is provided to apply pressure to the test pad/test pin interface and to the circuit die/thermal chuck interface.
