Abstract: An electrical connecting device includes probes, and a probe head including a middle guide plate arranged between a top guide plate and a bottom guide plate and closer to the bottom guide plate so as to lead the probes to penetrate therethrough. The top guide plate and the middle guide plate are provided with guide holes through which the probes are inserted at positions shifted between the top guide plate and the middle guide plate so as to lead the probes to be held in a bent state between the top guide plate and the middle guide plate. The probes have a structure easier to bend at a region excluding a maximum stress part than at the maximum stress part defined at a position at which a maximum stress is applied to the probes buckled when tip end parts of the probes are brought into contact with an inspection object.

Abstract: A probe is inserted into a through-hole in a guide plate and used for inspecting electrical characteristics of an inspection object, and the probe includes: a columnar conductor; and a plurality of insulating coating materials arranged spaced apart from each other on a surface of the conductor along a central axis direction of the conductor.

Abstract: An electrical connecting device (1) includes probes (10), and a probe head (20) including a middle guide plate (23) arranged between a top guide plate (21) and a bottom guide plate (22) and closer to the bottom guide plate (22) so as to lead the probes (10) to penetrate therethrough. The top guide plate (21) and the middle guide plate (23) are provided with guide holes through which the probes (10) are inserted at positions shifted between the top guide plate (21) and the middle guide plate (23) so as to lead the probes (10) to be held in a bent state between the top guide plate (21) and the middle guide plate (23). The probes (10) have a structure easier to bend at a region excluding a maximum stress part than at the maximum stress part defined at a position at which a maximum stress is applied to the probes (10) buckled when tip end parts of the probes (10) are brought into contact with an inspection object.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage unit for accessing a storage medium according to a direction from a computer, a condition monitoring program product executed in the computer to which the storage unit is connected, and a storage medium thereof, having a configuration advantageously providing information for a user to properly address an abnormal condition in the storage unit. The storage unit includes a date storage module for storing a current date reported from the computer only a first time the storage unit is connected to the computer and maintains subsequently the date. The condition monitoring program receives the date stored in the date storage module from the storage unit connected to the computer and presents a message according to the number of days elapsing between the date and the current date.

Abstract: A medium storage device switches the number of segments of a cache memory according to the transfer volume from a host, and this medium storage device switches the number of segments at high-speed. The medium storage device changes the number of segments of the cache memory according to the maximum transfer volume of one command depending on the type of the OS, based on the notification from the host device on the type of the OS. By this, the medium storage device executes write processing at high-speed using the number of segments appropriate for the write processing of the OS.
