Patent number: 11434095Abstract: Novel materials and devices can remove small defects from long rolls of flexible electronics material while they are in continuous motion. The cleaning materials are designed to remove small particles without transferring defects or damaging the flexible electronics. The device generally consists of variable speed, motor-driven cylinders mounted on moveable brackets. The cylinders are capable of matching the speed of the cleaning material such that the cleaning material is always in contact with the web roll to be cleaned. The brackets are capable of rotating so the same material can be used more than once. Another material is used to remove debris from the cleaning material. A similar device consisting of motor-driven cylinders and moveable is used to apply the debris removal film to the cleaning film, allowing the cleaning film to be used multiple times.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: International Test Solutions, LLCInventors: Mark M. Stark, Alan E. Humphrey

Patent number: 11035898Abstract: A thermally conductive material, device, and method for predictably maintaining the temperature state and condition of the contact elements and support hardware of a tester interface, such as a probe card, for a testing apparatus, such as automated test equipment (ATE), that has a predetermined configuration applicable for the particular pin contact elements, thermal conditions. The thermally conductive device also has a substrate having a predefined form factor which can be readily introduced into the testing apparatus during normal testing operations. Unlike a patterned substrate that is constrained to specific probe element layouts, the unpatterned surface of the heat conductive device facilitates use with multiple probe card designs within numerous automated test equipment (ATE) tools.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: International Test Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Alan E.
