The probe further includes a probe tail positioned opposite to the probe tip. Between the probe tip and the probe tail, the probe includes a probe body extending along a longitudinal axis. The probe body includes a slit extending along the longitudinal axis, thereby defining two probe arms separated by the slit. A transverse cross-section of the probe body, taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, has a width side and a thickness side, with the two probe arms arranged along the width side. Each of the two probe arms is formed with a bump structure within the slit, wherein the two bump structures face each other across the slit.

  • Publication number: 20260088174
    Abstract: A method of establishing a model for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) and sleep apnea (SA) is implemented by a computer system that stores training electrocardiograms, and includes steps of: dividing the training electrocardiograms into training segments, each of which contains a common length of time of recorded electrical activity of a heart; for each of the training segments, labeling the training segment with a symptom indicator that indicates whether the training segment is related to AF and whether the training segment is related to SA; for each of the training segments, performing feature extraction on the training segment to obtain an entry of feature data; and establishing the model by using a machine learning algorithm based on the entries of feature data and the symptom indicators.

  • Publication number: 20260063669
    Abstract: A probe unit includes first and second probes of equal length. A probe body of at least one of the probes has a slot extending along a longitudinal direction thereof to define two slats. A total cross-sectional area of the slats of the first probe is greater than that of the second probe. Alternatively, the probe body of the second probe is solid, and the total cross-sectional area of the slats of the first probe is greater than the cross-sectional area of the solid probe body of the second probe. The slats are shaped in such a way that a contact force of the first probe is greater than that of the second probe, thereby meeting testing requirements of conductive contacts of different sizes on an electronic device under test, while reducing problems of different probe tip wear rates and excessive probe mark area ratio differences.

  • Publication number: 20250138050
    Abstract: A vertical probe includes opposite first and third sides, and opposite second and fourth sides. The third and fourth sides extend in a planar manner from a body to a tip portion. The first and second sides include first and second upper plane segments at the body, first and second transition segments at the tip portion, and first and second lower plane segments closer to the third and fourth sides than the first and second upper plane segments are, respectively. The first and second transition segments gradually approach the third and fourth sides as they extend from the first and second upper plane segments to the first and second lower plane segments. The first transition and lower plane segments are realized by laser processing. The vertical probe can contact small conductive contacts with good current resistance, structural strength, lifespan, and processing accuracy. When applied to a probe head, breaking or shifting position of the tip portion due to vertical movement can be avoided.
