  • Publication number: 20200118108
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically modifying a payment instrument type of a user. One example method comprises receiving, via a communications module, a first signal including an indication of acceptance associated with a particular product selected from a set of potential products for replacing a current product associated with a first customer. At least one term or condition associated with the selected product is identified that is different than the terms or conditions associated with the at least one current product. The terms and conditions associated with the at least one current product associated with the first customer are automatically modified to correspond with the at least one different identified term or condition associated with the selected product, wherein modifying the terms or conditions does not change a unique identifier associated with the at least one current product being modified.

  • Patent number: 10520360
    Abstract: A beam quality measurement system for determining beam quality of a high power laser beam from a laser system by power-in-the-bucket (PIB) measurements in a laboratory environment. The system includes a beam compressor assembly for compressing the diameter of the laser beam, and a diagnostic bench assembly that receives the reduced diameter low power beam from the beam compressor assembly. The bench assembly includes a pinhole array positioned at a focal plane of a lens and that includes a plurality of different sized pinholes and a translation stage for moving the pinhole array. The bench assembly also includes a power meter that receives the focused beam after it has passed through a pinhole in the pinhole array, where the power meter generates a signal that causes the stage to move the pinhole array to position another pinhole when the power meter identifies a maximum power received from one pinhole.

  • Patent number: 10393772
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure utilize customizable waveguide fabrication technologies (e.g., 3D printer technology) and patch antenna arrays to create adaptable wave interfaces that can provide efficient signal routing for an ATE system. In this fashion, embodiments of the present disclosure allow for arbitrary waveguide routing from port to port and create high density port spacing at the PCB level and which specifically eliminates the large flange required of prior art waveguides. Furthermore, embodiments include the ability to integrate different waveguide components, including power splitters, couplers, terminations, etc., into a single structure. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce signal path losses and simplify the mechanical construction of ATE systems while eliminating the need for coax cables and minimizing the length of PCB microstrips.

  • Patent number: 10381707
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure use customizable waveguides that can be positioned next to each other in a structure that contains one single flange to provide a physical connection for the waveguides. In this fashion, many waveguides can be positioned within a small area to accommodate a tightly packed patch antenna array so that the waveguides can be positioned very close to the socket. As such, embodiments of the present disclosure allow more waveguides to be packed into a small area by providing a single structure that houses many waveguides and share only a single flange connection element that can be sized appropriately.

  • Patent number: 9921266
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a modular load board or “frame” that contains a number of moveable connectors. The moveable connectors can be selectively displaced within the frame, as needed, to mate with test head pogo-pins and can be fixed in place on the frame using screws. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide multiple moveable sockets that can be positioned as needed within the frame so that a quick prototype modular load board can be designed and readily modified, if need be, without requiring hard wired traces within the PCB to connect the DUT socket to the test head interface regions. Using ribbon cables, embodiments of the present disclosure eliminate the need to have any hard wired traces within a PCB load board between the DUT socket and pogo pin interface blocks.

  • Patent number: 9921244
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present utilize a specialized modular load board in combination with previously-tested daughter boards to yield a final design for generating a new printed circuit board (PCB) for testing. Since the electrical characteristics of the daughter board are already known by the client and well established during previous testing procedures, similar test programs can be used for production-level testing that were used in client prototyping processes that involved the use of the previously-tested daughter board. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can use the features of the specialized modular load board and a client's tested daughter board to develop more reliable, production-ready circuits.
