  • Patent number: 8577121
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a forged seal imprint checking method which includes a step ST-101 of generating a reference seal imprint from a genuine seal (ST-110) and a step ST-121 of comparing a compared seal imprints with the reference seal imprint to calculate characteristic values of the compared seal imprint with respect to the reference seal imprint (ST-140). According to experimental results, forged seal imprints obtained by seals forged by etching a zinc plate or a resin plate can be recognized and forged seal imprints generated by seals forged through computer copy can be also recognized. Accordingly, an objective basis on which it can be determined whether seal imprints on documents are forged in civil and criminal cases can be provided to prevent errors which may be generated when seal imprints are inspected with the naked eyes or microscopes.

  • Patent number: 6942497
    Abstract: The socket assembly includes a guide block, a guide part and a pressurizing plate. The guide block is in a terminal region of a test board, the guide block defining an area into which an integrated circuit can be inserted opposite terminals formed on the test board in the terminal region. The guide part is provided on an inner side wall of the guide block, to guide an insertion position of the integrated circuit so that respective leads of the integrated circuit are aligned with the corresponding terminals of the test board. The pressurizing plate is adapted to interface with the guide block, the pressurizing plate including a pressurizing protrusion on a surface thereof, such that when the pressurizing plate is applied to the guide block, the respective leads of the integrated circuit are urged to connect with the corresponding terminals of the test board.

  • Patent number: 6320148
    Abstract: A method of separating particulate materials of different properties has been developed. It consists of feeding a mixture of dry, powdered materials to one end of the surface of a planar electrode, which is vibrating to move the particles forward. At least one type of the particulate materials acquires a charge via conduction or triboelectrification. Those particles that acquire charges of the same sign as that of the planar electrode are lifted and collected at the V-shaped counter electrodes installed above. The new separation method is particularly useful for removing unburned carbons from fly ash and any other conducting materials from nonconducting ones.
