Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for testing electrical or optical devices. The invention includes a test fixture having a base component, a first rail and a second rail coupled to the base component, a top component coupled to the first and second rails, and an interposer coupled to the first and second rails.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a system of fabricating a barrier wall between the testing and tester volumes of an environmental test chamber. This aspect may use a plurality of pallets adapted to receive a device under test and a testing apparatus, a framework adapted to receive a plurality of pallets, and a plurality of insulation bricks associated with the plurality of pallets. The insulation bricks may be adapted such that they can cooperate to form an insulating barrier between the device under test and the testing apparatus.

Abstract: A magnetic tape head includes a body having a leading edge, a trailing edge and first and second side edges. A raised leading rail, a raised trailing rail and a raised center rail are positioned on the body and extend between the first and second side edges to form a head-to-tape interface. The raised center rail is positioned between the raised leading rail and the raised trailing rail. The raised center rail carries a transducer and has first and second longitudinal slots disposed about the transducer. The first and second slots form relieved surfaces which are recessed from the head-to-tape interface and raised from the body for reducing air bearing surface area around the transducer and causing the transducer to virtually protrude from the head-to-tape interface.
