Patent number: 10297339Abstract: Example features or aspects of the present invention are described in relation to a small, quiet integrated cooling system for an apparatus for testing electronic devices. Characteristics of the test apparatus including a low noise output, low power consumption and a compact size with a small spatial and volume footprint are selected for deployment and use in a an office like environment. The test apparatus comprises a chassis frame and a cooler frame disposed within the chassis frame and thus integrated within the test apparatus, which has a reduced form factor suitable for the in-office deployment. Embodiments offer the ability to maintain the working fluid at a constant temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Advantest CorporationInventors: Brent Thordarson, John W. Andberg, Koei Nishiura
