  • Publication number: 20020135392
    Abstract: The present invention offers an apparatus that can probe and analyze a de-capsulated chip with probing needles of a probe chuck plate on a fully automatic probe machine. The apparatus is composed of a probe plate that has a first side which is placed on the probe chuck plate, and has a second side that has at least one hollow that the chip can be put in. And the probe plate has one hole passing through the hollow and the first side, in order to catch the chip by the suction of the probe chuck plate through the hole. Then the chip is probed with the probe needles.

  • Patent number: 6239934
    Abstract: A higher-capacity disk drive system and a higher-capacity removable disk cartridge adapted for downward compatibility with older, lower-capacity disk drive systems, wherein a unique control information format is stored on higher-capacity removable disk cartridges to distinguish them from older, lower-capacity removable disk cartridges and thereby to facilitate cartridge capacity recognition by the higher-capacity disk drive system. Upon recognizing the capacity of an inserted removable disk cartridge, the higher-capacity disk drive system can read and write data to the removable disk cartridge such that data which it stores on a lower-capacity removable disk cartridge may be read by lower-capacity disk drive systems.

  • Patent number: 5865142
    Abstract: An apparatus for hatching eggs includes a rectangular casing having a top provided with a pre-heating chamber in which is mounted a first electric fan and a water tray under the electric fan, an air compressor arranged on the top and connected with the pre-heating chamber via a pipe, a cooling water container installed on the top and connected with the water tray via a pipe, a second electric fan installed on a first inner end of the rectangular casing, and a third electric fan installed on a second inner end of the rectangular casing, whereby the hatching rate of eggs and the grown-up rate of fowls can be largely increased.

  • Patent number: 5777813
    Abstract: A disk drive system having downward compatibility includes a read/write head and a feedback servo controller for reading and writing information to and from a removable disk cartridge. When writing information to the data tracks of magnetic medium of a lower-capacity disk cartridge, in which the data tracks are substantially wider than the width of the read/write head, the read/write head is operated in an erase mode for several resolutions prior to writing the data. The read/write head is first shifted off track center by a small DC offset, then operated in an erase mode while being guided in a repeating oscillating pattern under closed loop servo control. The read/write head is then shifted off track center in the other direction, then again operated in an erase mode while being guided in a repeating oscillating pattern under closed loop servo control.
