Abstract: A method and system for component identification system for electronic board tester to identify the actual defective components in a failed board is disclosed. It uses image captures of the front side and backside of the tested board to extract an outline diagram that is compared to a database of outline diagrams of known boards until a match is found. Each outline diagram in the database is associated with a connection list between the standard connector of the board and the individual components. Test results with errors relating to connections of the standard connector are linked via the associated connection list of the match's outline diagram to the individual components. The outline diagram is displayed and printed with the defective components highlighted. Use of the identification system to select the best test algorithm and test parameter setup is disclosed. Connection to and operation with automatic handler systems is also disclosed.

Abstract: System and method for view navigation and magnification of the display of hand-held devices in response to the orientation changes along only two axes of rotation as measured by sensors inside the devices. The view navigation system is engaged and controlled by a single hand which simultaneously presses two ergonomically designed switches on both sides of the hand-held device. In other embodiments, the system engaged into the view navigation mode in response to an operator command in the form of a finger tap, or a voice command, or predefined user gestures. The response curve of the view navigation to sensed changes in orientation is dynamically changing to allow coarse and fine navigation of the view. Various methods are described to terminate the view navigation mode and fix the display at the desired view. Miniature sensors like accelerometers, tilt sensors, or magneto-resistive direction sensors sense the orientation changes.

Abstract: An expandable balloon for insertion into the urinary bladder of an individual. The balloon may be used in treating the urinary bladder, in monitoring the urinary bladder or in the treatment of urinary incontinence.

Abstract: A resiliently flexible body having a non-spherical shape and having a magnetizable portion for use in sealing an anatomical cavity such as a urinary bladder. The body is compressed and then inserted into the cavity. In the cavity the body is experimented and positioned at the cavity outlet. The body is rotated in the outlet using a hand-held magnet between a sealing orientation in which the outlet is sealed, and a non-sealing orientation in which fluid, such as urine, can flow out of the cavity.

Abstract: A remote control device having, in one embodiment, a keypad including a time-lock key and another key; means for locking the other key for a time period specified by a user in response to a depression of the time-lock key; and a transmitter for transmitting a channel select signal in response to a depression of the other key when the other key is not locked. In a further embodiment the remote control device has a keypad including a key; a processor for generating electrical signals in response to a depression of the key; a transmitter for transmitting a transmit signal in response to the electrical signals; a low frequency detector for detecting low frequency soundwaves; and an audio signal generator for emitting an audio signal in response to the low frequency soundwaves.

Abstract: An interface system, preferably made in the shape and size of a standard removable magnetic medium, and inserted inside a removable magnetic storage unit such as a floppy disk drive or a tape backup drive, is disclosed. Magnetic communication means on the interface system, placed at a close proximity to the read/write head of the magnetic storage unit, exchange data with the read/write head of the magnetic storage unit. The data protocol is similar to the one used by the magnetic storage unit so that the same standard storage unit can alternatively use both the interface system and the regular magnetic media. Several alternate embodiments of the magnetic communication means of the interface system are disclosed. Data from and to the magnetic communication means may be amplified, shaped, and possibly converted from serial format to parallel format by control circuitry which may be fully integrated inside the interface card.
