  • Patent number: 10768206
    Abstract: A method is provided for using a loop-back test device to verify continuity between loop-back probes electrically connected to each other on a probe card, the loop-back test device including a first conductive region electrically connected to a substrate, a second conductive region electrically isolated from the substrate, the second conductive region spaced apart from the first conductive region such that when a first loop-back probe contacts the first conductive region a second loop-back probe contacts the second conductive region, The method includes placing the first loop-back probe in electrical contact with the first conductive region, and placing the second loop-back probe in electrical contact with the second conductive region. Continuity between the substrate and the second conductive region is then measured.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4316297
    Abstract: A tumbling floor features an assembly of rigid panels beneath each of which is an array of soft foamed blocks of cushioning material which rest upon the gymnasium floor. The panels are covered by foamed panels of soft springing material and the latter in turn covered by a thin carpet providing a non-slip surface.
