Abstract: A glass substrate for a semiconductor package includes a first principal surface, a second principal surface, at least one hollowed-out portion, and at least one through hole formed in a surrounding of the at least one hollowed-out portion, wherein in a section of the at least one hollowed-out portion taken in a direction perpendicular to the first principal surface, a minimum diameter of the at least one hollowed-out portion is smaller than an opening diameter of the at least one hollowed-out portion at each of the first principal surface and the second principal surface.

Abstract: A jig is successively mounted on each of the four wheels of a vehicle. The jig is struck in three orthogonal directions independently, and at the same time, a microphone inside the vehicle measures the sound pressure of noise generated due to the exciting force. An FFT analyzer operates a frequency response function from the exciting force to the sound pressure. In a drum testing machine, a tire to be subject to noise prediction is mounted on a shaft, the tire is rotated, and the axial force in the three orthogonal directions is measured. The axial force signal is input to the FFT analyzer and the auto power spectrum in the three orthogonal directions and the cross power spectrum between two different axial directions are operated. The frequency response functions are synthesized with the auto power and cross power spectrums, and the power spectrum of the road noise is operated.

Abstract: A checking method for a device having a plurality of light emitting elements, especially an LED array installed in electronic printing equipment. The check is done while the LED array is mounted in the equipment and does not require removal thereof. The check is done in a short time period, so it can be done during a period of page change of the printer, without disturbing the operation of the printer. Each of the LEDs are lighted one by one with a pulse. The output emission of the array is detected by a photoelectric detector which is positioned to detect the emission from any of the LEDs. The output of the detector becomes a burst of pulses, each of the pulses representing the emission property of a corresponding LED. Each pulse is converted into a digital signal and stored in a RAM as emission data. The emission data is fed back to the driver of each LED to compensate for differences in the emission characteristics of the LEDs. This improves the uniformity of the output image the electronic printer.
