Abstract: A method for analyzing test results. The method includes selecting a first subset of tests from a plurality of tests. Test results are gathered from the plurality of tests in real-time. A first statistical analysis is performed on test results from the first subset of tests. At least one process control rule is initiated as determined by results of the first statistical analysis performed on the test results from the first subset of tests.

Abstract: A method of testing a device. The method comprises determining a computational window. The computational window is a time period of device testing activity below an activity threshold. The at least one computational window occurs during the device testing activity. The method further comprises creating and executing a decision tree during the computational window. The decision tree comprises a scheduled test analysis of test results and a selection of test control actions scheduled to execute in response to the test analysis.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a device. The apparatus comprises a test control module and a test analysis module. The test control module is operable to generate and transmit first prober and handler (PH) requests to a supervisor module. The supervisor module is operable to transmit first PH commands to a prober and handler for execution thereof. The test analysis module is operable to generate and transmit second PH requests to the supervisor module. The supervisor module is further operable to transmit second PH commands to the prober and handler for execution thereof. The execution of the second PH commands are performed transparently to the test control module.

Abstract: A method for analyzing test results. The method comprises selecting selected control rules for verification from a plurality of stored, accessing selected test results, performing selected statistical analyses of the selected test results, and executing at least one action of a plurality of selected actions, wherein the plurality of selected actions is selected by a result of the selected statistical analyses. The plurality of selected control rules are arranged in a decision tree. The decision tree comprises a schedule for verification of the selected control rules. A selection of the test results is defined by the plurality of selected control rules. A selection of statistical analyses is defined by the plurality of selected control rules and the decision tree. There is at least one action selected by the decision tree.

Abstract: A portable personal cooling device substantially utilizing components typical in gas refrigerant air conditioning. The device is worn as a backpack, with adjustable shoulder straps for user size variations. Gas refrigeration provides effective cooling even in conditions of high humidity and temperature extremes. The device is compact, lightweight, and includes on/off and temperature control. Cooling is powered by a rechargeable battery or standard AC voltage, along with a transformer. The compressor is powered by the fan motor. A base for removably fitting the housing's base insert provides for upright storage and use of the device when not being worn.
