Patent number: 5267395Abstract: The inventive apparatus is to provide rapid, automatic separation, classification and operator assisted dispensation of integrated circuit assemblies from burn-in and device under test boards to which they are attached. The apparatus is computer controlled, with an electronic control panel, and is assembled to differentiate between and separate physically acceptable and unacceptable integrated circuit assemblies and deliver, by means of a suitable reservoir, the acceptable assemblies to appropriate carrier tubes for further processing or shipping. The system uses an indexing table to move an inverted device under test board across an array of assembly extraction fingers which remove attached integrated circuit assemblies from the sockets of the test board and drop them into a reservoir. The reservoir is slotted to receive the individual assemblies and dispense them into carrier tubes.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1993Date of Patent: December 7, 1993Assignee: Micron Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Arthur T. Jones, Jr., William C. Layer

Patent number: 5214849Abstract: This apparatus provides a means for automatically controlled removal of integrated circuit assemblies from a testing board or other surface where they have been undergoing quality control tests during the IC manufacturing process. The preferred procedure involves passing an inverted standard test board containing a plurality of standard IC assemblies attached thereto, in parallel rows, over a matching array of spring loaded, wedge shaped extraction fingers, which slide into parallel matching slots between the test board sockets and the attached IC assemblies to disengage and separate the IC assemblies from the test board. The loosened assemblies then drop into parallel, matching, down sloping storage reservoirs for transfer to carrier tubes. Misaligned or jammed assemblies displace the spring loaded extraction fingers axially, causing the particular fingers to activate an extraction finger position sensor which then stops the standard mechanical means that moves the test board over the extraction fingers.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1992Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Arthur T. Jones, Jr.

Patent number: H552Abstract: An empty flatpack carrier sorting device sorts empty carriers by types according to the flatpack associated with said carrier. A vision system determines from an image of a flatpack component the number and location of the leads and the size of the flatpack and thus the type of carrier associated with that flatpack. Based upon this information, a computer directs the movement of a rotatable bin such that a selected storage location falls under a funnel through which an empty flatpack carrier falls as it is ejected from the automatic carrier feed and ejection device.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1987Date of Patent: December 6, 1988Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventor: Arthur T. Jones, Jr.
