  • Publication number: 20240103068
    Abstract: An apparatus is described for burn-in and/or functional testing of microelectronic circuits of unsingulated wafers. A large number of power, ground, and signal connections can be made to a large number of contacts on a wafer. The apparatus has a cartridge that allows for fanning-in of electric paths. A distribution board has a plurality of interfaces that are strategically positioned to provide a dense configuration. The interfaces are connected through flexible attachments to an array of first connector modules. Each one of the first connector modules can be independently connected to a respective one of a plurality of second connector modules, thereby reducing stresses on a frame of the apparatus. Further features include for example a piston that allows for tight control of forces exerted by terminals onto contacts of a wafer.

  • Patent number: 10917390
    Abstract: Some websites accessed via browser allow for file uploading via drag and drop functionality. In a drag and drop operation, a user selects a file on the information handling system and drags the file to a browser window for uploading via the browser. File encryption systems, such as virtual file systems, may implement an encryption algorithm and enforce encryption standards, set by a user or organization, when uploading files via a browser, including uploading of files performed via file drag and drop functionality.

  • Patent number: 9843534
    Abstract: An approach is provided for managing the provisioning and utilization of resources. A management platform determines a request from a user for execution of one or more data processing tasks by a remote computing service. The management platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of at least one execution constraint associated with the user, a group associated with the user, or a combination thereof to determine a maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof of the remote computing service to be provisioned for fulfilling the request. The management platform further causes, at least in part, a provisioning of one or more clusters, one or more cluster instances, or a combination thereof to the user, the group, or a combination thereof to within the maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof based on the at least one execution constraint.

  • Patent number: 4779626
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for ensuring accurate measurement of blood pressure regardless of the position of the sensing transducer relative to the position of the patient's heart. The method and apparatus provides a hydrostatic balancing system in which a column of fluid is used to offset the hydrostatic pressure created by the corresponding column of blood contained in the blood vessel in the limb upon which the measurement is being taken. A flexible tube is routed along the patient's limb with one end being positioned at heart level and the other end terminating at the occlusion cuff which supports the pressure sensing transducer. The tube is filled with fluid and is connected to a fluid reservoir chamber located at approximately the same level as the patient's heart. The hydrostatic pressure created by the fluid in the tube effectively balances the corresponding hydrostatic pressure created by the blood in the blood vessel.
