  • Patent number: 12130327
    Abstract: An electronic component testing apparatus that tests a DUT (device under test) disposed in a carrier includes: a test head including a socket; and an electronic component handling apparatus that presses the DUT in the carrier against the socket. The socket includes: contactors disposed to correspond to terminals of the DUT that are exposed to the socket via a first opening of the carrier; and a first wall projecting toward the carrier along a pressing direction of the DUT. The electronic component handling apparatus aligns the terminals with the contactors by pressing the DUT against the socket such that a first pressing mechanism of the carrier presses the DUT against the first wall.

  • Publication number: 20070220149
    Abstract: The delay of an ongoing configuration change process, which may result from resource insufficiency, is restrained to avoid a great difference between the actual load condition and the load condition predicted before a configuration change, and provide proper service arrangement. A load distribution control device distributes the requests received from client terminals to a plurality of server nodes in order to distribute the load on the server nodes. A configuration change device calculates necessary resource amounts when a configuration change involving a service-start or service-stop is to be made. The load distribution control device references a load management table and allocates necessary amounts of resources to a server node that requires the calculated resource amounts. Subsequently, the configuration change device effects the configuration change.

  • Patent number: 7028081
    Abstract: In a management system for managing network devices connected to a network, it is considered to reduce the load of the network and the devices by preserving device information acquired from each device and not acquiring new information from the device for a predetermined period. However, this approach has a problem in that the user cannot know when the displayed information was acquired. In the present invention, when preserving device information, the time of acquisition of the device information is preserved as acquisition-time data, which is displayed within displayed information together with the device information. The above-described probem is thereby solved, and the user can acquire very reliable information.

  • Patent number: 6980238
    Abstract: An image communication system can transmit and receive an image via a communication line. The system supplies a self-portrait image from a self-portrait photographing unit and a partner image from a partner photographing unit and displays the self-portrait image on a self-portrait display window and the partner image on a partner display window on the same screen. The system discriminates whether a designated point exists in the self-portrait display window or the partner display window. If the designated point exists in the self-portrait window, self-portrait photographing unit control information is calculated by a self-portrait calculating method and if the designated point exists in the partner display window, partner photographing unit control information is calculated by a partner calculating method.

  • Publication number: 20030018780
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus which notifies the user of the state of a network device using an e-mail message as needed even when no response is acquired from the network device. A response request command is sent to the network device at a predetermined timing, and the response state of the network device to the response request command is stored. The previous response state is read out from a storage component (S801), and it is checked if a response is received (S802). If a response is received, it is also checked if a response is received in the current process (S803). If no response is received in the current process, an e-mail message indicating that no response is received from the device is generated (S804), and is sent (S807). On the other hand, if a response is returned from the device which returned no response in the previous process (S805), an e-mail message indicating that the device has been recovered is generated (S804), and is sent (S807).
