  • Biometric voice command and control switching device and method of use
    Patent number: 9043210
    Abstract: A biometric voice command and control switching device has a microphone assembly for receiving a currently spoken challenge utterance and a reference utterance, and a voice processing circuit for creating electronic signals indicative thereof. The device further includes a memory for storing the electronic signals, and a processor for comparing the electronic signals to determine if there is a match. If there is a match, an interface circuit enables the operable control of the controlled device.

  • Automated contact alignment tool
    Patent number: 7750653
    Abstract: An electronic testing machine that tests electronic components using test contacts is disclosed. A contact takes a plurality of electrical readings for a component retained in a test plate as the test plate is moved in microsteps. These electrical readings can be used to determine alignment and/or to correct alignment as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.

  • AUTOMATED CONTACT ALIGNMENT TOOL
    Publication number: 20090224789
    Abstract: A method for determining the alignment of a plurality of contacts in an electronic testing machine is disclosed. The contacts are swept over an electronic component taking a plurality of electrical readings. These electrical readings are charted against a desired orientation to determine alignment. Alignment can be corrected as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.
