Abstract: A mechanism in the body is used to drive a piston rod and comprises means for guiding the movement of the piston rod relatively to the body while delivering the drug. Further means are provided for releasing the piston rod from the means for guiding the movement, thus enabling a reset of the piston rod to a start position, especially after the receptacle has been emptied and is to be refilled. The device is constructed in such a manner that a reset of the piston rod is facilitated.

Further means are provided for releasing the piston rod from the means for guiding the movement, thus enabling a reset of the piston rod to a start position, especially after the receptacle has been emptied and is to be refilled. The device is constructed in such a manner that a reset of the piston rod is facilitated by a stop element inhibiting a reversal of the movement of the piston rod when being reset.

Abstract: A set of boundary scan registers are implemented by reconfiguring the functional blocks of a reconfigurable device. This “soft-wired” set of boundary scan registers can be used to test the interface connections between the IP core and the functional blocks of the reconfigurable device. Additionally, the set of boundary scan registers only exists when a testing configuration is loaded into the reconfigurable device. When testing is complete, the testing configuration is erased and the functional blocks may implement other operations. Thus, the set of boundary scan registers consumes no additional chip area. Furthermore, as the set of boundary scan registers disappears after testing, a functional path enabling normal operation modes is unnecessary. Therefore, manually created functional test data is not needed. Instead, ATPG software can create test data from hardware descriptions of the IP core and the set of boundary scan registers.

The drive mechanism includes a motor which is arranged on the handpiece, and a transmission member which transfers a driving motion from the motor to the bristle holder. The transmission member is arranged to rock in multiple axes and is arranged to be driven by the motor such that is approximately traverses a double conical path.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel method and computer program product which utilizes an interface capacitor formed by the metal of the probe tip, a dielectric layer, such as an oxide, formed by a contaminant on a solder bump and the metal of the solder bump. The interface capacitor forms a capacitive divider with the inherent capacitances of the automatic test equipment and the device under test (DUT). The voltage characteristics of the capacitive divider are used to drive voltage signals across the interface capacitor to test the DUT. In either direction (i.e. from the automatic test equipment to the DUT or vice versa), by altering the voltage output high amplitude of the driver and/or the voltage input high amplitude of the load, the DUT is validly tested through the interface capacitor. Thus, even if all I/O bumps have an oxide layer, the device may still be validly tested.
