Abstract: The reliability of multipoint contact by a contact pin with an external terminal is improved while achieving an improvement in easiness of manufacture of the contact pin. The contact pin includes first and second contact pins. Further, the first contact pin has a support portion extending in a y direction and a tip portion connected to the support portion. The second contact pin also has a support portion extending in the y direction and a tip portion connected to the support portion. Here, the support portion of the first contact pin and the support portion of the second contact pin are arranged side by side along an x direction in a horizontal plane (xy plane). Further, the tip portion of the second contact pin is shifted from the tip portion of the first contact pin along the y direction in the horizontal plane, crossing (perpendicular to) the x direction.

Abstract: A control system in a gas engine includes a water injection means which injects water toward an interior of a cylinder in the gas engine; a water injection control means which controls the water injection section; and a knocking occurrence ratio measuring means which measures a measurement value of a knocking occurrence ratio in the cylinder. The water injection control means controls the water injection means to set the amount of the water injected toward the interior of the cylinder, based on a deviation between the measurement value and a target value.

Abstract: Improvement in yield of a semiconductor device is obtained. In addition, increase in service life of a socket terminal is obtained. A projecting portion PJ1 and a projecting portion PJ2 are provided in an end portion PU of a socket terminal STE1. Thus, it is possible to enable contact between a lead and the socket terminal STE in which a large current is caused to flow, at two points by a contact using the projecting portion PJ1 and by a contact using the projecting portion PJ2, for example. As a result, the current flowing from the socket terminal STE1 to the lead flows by being dispersed into a path flowing in the projecting portion PJ1 and a path flowing in the projecting portion PJ2. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress increase of temperature of a contact portion between the socket terminal STE1 and the lead even in a case where the large current is caused to flow between the socket terminal STE1 and the lead.

Abstract: A fuel supply controlling device includes: an auxiliary chamber fuel supply valve that supplies a gaseous fuel to an auxiliary chamber; a non-return valve between the auxiliary chamber fuel supply valve and the auxiliary chamber, the non-return valve blocking a reverse flow from the auxiliary chamber; a valve state detector that detects an operating state of the non-return valve; a rotation angle detector that detects a rotation angle within an engine cycle; and a controller that determines an operation command value of the auxiliary chamber fuel supply valve. The controller measures an actual operating state of the non-return valve based on signals from the valve state detector and the rotation angle detector in association with the detected rotation angle, and corrects the operation command value of the auxiliary chamber fuel supply valve such that the measured actual operating state is brought close to a target operating state.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a test device for testing an integrated circuit (IC) chip having side edge portions each provided with a set of lead pins. The test device comprises a socket base, contact units each including a contact support member and socket contact members, and anisotropic conductive sheet assemblies each including an elastic insulation sheet and conductive members. The anisotropic conductive sheet assemblies are arranged to hold each conductive member in contact with one of the socket contact members of the contact units. The test device further comprises a contact retainer detachably mounted on the socket base to bring the socket contact members into contact with the anisotropic conductive sheet assemblies to establish electrical communication between the socket contact members and the conductive members of the anisotropic conductive sheet assemblies.

Abstract: A socket has a base (10) that is to be fixed on a printed wiring substrate (not shown in the drawings) and a cover (12), in the shape of a square frame, that is reciprocably movable in the vertical direction relative to base (10). An adaptor (20) is fixed to the center of base (10) by means of bolts (22) and an elevator carrier (24) is mounted on adaptor (20) in such a manner as to move among first, second and third vertically disposed positions in dependence upon movement of the cover (12). A large number of contact elements (26) are arranged in a pattern corresponding to the lead terminal pattern of an IC package for loading in the socket. Above each contact row, there is provided a linkage mechanism (32, 36) including a laterally extending bar (36a) movable toward and away from contact elements (26) in dependence upon the vertical movement of the cover (12).

Abstract: A testing apparatus includes a turntable, a driving device for rotating the turntable by a predetermined angle, and a plurality of pallets symmetrically fixed on the turntable around a center of rotation of the turntable. Each pallet holds a plurality of semiconductor devices and has electrode patterns for connection to leads of the semiconductor devices. A tester for testing the semiconductor devices is electrically connected with the electrode patterns of one of the pallets located at a first position in the rotation of the turntable by a connecting device. An exchanging device exchanges the semiconductor devices for new ones on one of the pallets located at a second position in the rotation of the turntable. A cover covers the turntable except around the second position. A heating device heats the inside of the cover to maintain the semiconductor devices held on the pallets in the cover at a high temperature.
