Abstract: Unnecessary notification is reduced. Occurrence of an impact in an information processing device is detected, a cause of the impact is determined, and when it is determined that the cause of the impact is a drop of the information processing device, notification regarding the impact is not performed.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved IC socket comprising a socket body having a seat surface formed its compartment, on which seat surface an IC package can be put, terminals aligned in confronting relation and mounted in the socket body, each terminal has a contact portion to make contact or engage with a selected lead of the IC package, and an actuator member for displacing the contact portions of the terminals between the withdrawing position in which the contact portions of the terminals are apart from the seat surface of the socket body and the advancing position in which the contact portions of the terminals are so close to the seat surface of the socket body as to permit the contact portions to engage with the leads of the IC package. The contact portion of each terminal comprises a first contact element having an engagement surface confronting the upper surface of the lead and a second contact element having an oblique engagement surface confronting the lower edge of the end of the lead.

Abstract: A receiver device, in which the receiving channel can be changed over to another, includes an RF unit which receives a plurality of channel frequency signals, a frequency conversion unit, an intermediate frequency amplifier and an FM detection unit, a signal intensity detection unit which, when the mode for setting the receiving channel is set, scans the channel frequencies to detect the signal intensities of the received signals in the respective channels and an A/D converter, a RAM which successively stores therein the signal intensities in the respective channels, and a CPU which sets the receiving channels on the basis of the signal intensities stored, detects the channel information contained in the received signals, and sets, when the detected channel information is the channel information of the desired channel, the channel of the channel information as the receiving channel for ordinary communications.

Abstract: A system is provided for testing a bare IC chip having an array of electrode pads. A burn-in socket includes a dielectric housing having a receptacle. A plurality of terminals on the housing include contact portions exposed in the receptacle and terminating portions extending exteriorly of the housing. An adapter socket is configured for positioning in the receptacle in the burn-in socket and includes an opening for removably receiving the bare IC chip. A plurality of conductors have contact portions exposed in the opening for engaging the electrode pads of the bare IC chip. Connection portions of the conductors engage the contact portions of the terminals of the burn-in socket. The conductors are formed on a laminated film which is part of the adapter socket.

Abstract: A pager comprises a receiving section for receiving message data, an LCD for displaying the message based on the message data, and a memory for storing the format No. contained in the format code specifying the display format of the message and the actually displayed display format in such a manner that they correspond to each other. When a format code is sensed from the received message data, a display format is read from the memory according to the format No. contained in the format code and develops the subsequence display data on the display format, thereby displaying it on the LCD.
