Abstract: A contactor for a semiconductor device comprises a placing table, lower side contactors, upper side contactors and a pressure part. A semiconductor device is placed on the placing table. The lower side contactors contact terminals of the semiconductor device from lower sides when the semiconductor device is placed on the placing table. The upper side contactors have heads that can move up and down with respect to the terminals of the semiconductor device placed on the placing table. The pressure part moves the heads toward the terminals of the semiconductor device by pressing the upper side contactors so as to elastically deform the upper side contactors.

Abstract: An electrical connecting device and related method of testing a semiconductor device which provides testing of a semiconductor device under excellent and stable current transfer characteristics. Moreover, the electrical connecting device is easily produced under mass production conditions and can be made with a structure for testing of a semiconductor device where there are many pins arranged in a fine pitch on the semiconductor device. The electrical connector device includes a contactor which has a coil-shaped spring and a transformable conductive member extending in the compressing direction of the coil-shaped spring. When one end of the conductive member is in contact with a first electrode and the other end of the conductive members in contact with the second electrode, the contactor electrically connects between the first electrode and the second electrode via the conductive member and generates contact pressure against the electrodes when the coil-shaped spring is pressed.

Abstract: The gain of a variable gain amplifier for amplifying a video signal is changed in accordance with a brightness correction control signal that is output from a waveform ROM. The shape of the output signal of the waveform ROM is changed in accordance with a signal indicating the scanning position which signal is deformed in accordance with an external signal indicating a deviation of a hot spot.

Abstract: An S-shaped correction capacitor switching devices are applied to automatic tracking monitors. An automatic tracking monitor is a monitor display device which can cope with various horizontal frequencies to be capable of being connected to various types of personal computers. The control means judges the frequency of a horizontal synchronizing signal of a device being handled, and based on the result of the judgment it decides the combination of capacitors to be connected to a deflection coil. Furthermore, it adjusts the combination of capacitors corresponding to adjustment data, thereby the distortion on an image caused by the dispersion of capacitance values among individual capacitors can be prevented.

Abstract: A transverseless ship has at least its side portions and bottom portion comprised of a double hull construction which comprises an inner hull plating and an outer hull plating connected together only by transverse bulkheads and a plurality of connecting longitudinal members fixed to the bulkheads. The bottom portion of the ship has a space defined by at least two optionally selected connecting longitudinal members and divided by a partition into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The upper chamber is adapted in its entirety to pass a fluid therethrough. With this structure, external forces acting on the ship are delivered from the connecting longitudinal members to the transverse bulkheads to prevent the inner and outer platings from buckling. The absence of reinforcing transverse members intersecting the connecting longitudinal members assures automatic welding operation with greatly improved efficiency.

Abstract: A ship according to the present invention comprises an inner hull plating (1) and an outer hull plating (2) connected together solely by transverse bulkheads (4) and connecting longitudinal members (3) fixed to the bulkheads (4). Each bulkhead 4 comprises a rectangular double plate central portion and a rectangular ring form box (11) surrounding the central portion. The box (11) includes a flaring part (11a) internally provided with generally triangular ribs (10) and a peripheral part (11b) of a constant thickness receiving part of the connecting longitudinal members (3).

The bottom portion of the ship has a space defined by at least two optionally selected connecting longitudinal members and divided by two horizontal partitions into two upper chambers and a lower chamber. The upper chambers are adapted to pass different fluids therethrough, and the lower chamber is provided with docking brackets each conforming to the sectional shape thereof. With this structure, external forces acting on the ship are delivered from the connecting longitudinal members to the transverse bulkheads to prevent the inner and outer platings from buckling.
