Abstract: An adapter apparatus and method includes using an adapter body defining a socket cavity configured to receive a packaged device and a socket lid assembly configured to apply a force upon a packaged device received in the socket cavity of the adapter body. A measurement apparatus associated with the socket lid assembly may include a measurement element (e.g., temperature sensing element, compressible element, etc.) that is configured to contact a packaged device received in the socket cavity when the socket lid assembly closes the socket cavity and applies a force upon the packaged device (e.g., a measurement signal is generated with use of the measurement element that is configured to contact the packaged device). An indicator may be configured to display a parameter based on the measurement signal (e.g., a count, a temperature, etc.).

Abstract: A needle probe array may be configured to penetrate into biological tissue and may be coupled to an interface board. The needle probe array may include a proximal electrical interface region, a distal biological interface region, and a plurality of needle electrodes extending from the proximal electrical interface region to the distal biological interface region. Each needle electrode may include a head portion and a tip portion, the head portion may include contact surfaces and non-contact surfaces therebetween. The contact surfaces may contact and electrically couple the needle electrode to the interface board and the non-contact surfaces may lack contact with the interface board.

Abstract: An adapter apparatus and method includes using an adapter body defining a socket cavity configured to receive a packaged device and a torque applicator configured to apply an axial force. A bearing structure positioned between the torque applicator and a packaged device may be used to transfer a force (e.g., an axial force) applied using the torque applicator to the packaged device.

Abstract: An adapter apparatus includes a substrate having a plurality of openings defined therethrough. Further, a deflectable element socket contact is provided in each of the openings. When a conductive male pin is positioned in contact between first and second deflectable elements of the deflectable element socket contact, at least a portion of the first and second deflectable elements are caused to deflect within first and second deflection regions, respectively, of the defined opening.

Abstract: A detector system filters the effects of periodic noise such as magnetic flux from nearby power lines or other periodic sources. The detector system further adapts in the case that the system incorporates microloops for the inductive sensors. The detector system further counts multiple vehicles while in presence mode. The detector system also logging of vehicle data and system faults.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting facsimile coded data to video data utilizing a programmed digital computer for receiving the facsimile coded data buffering the facsimile coded data and converting the facsimile coded data to a fixed length intermediate code. The fixed length intermediate code is then hardware converted to the video data.

Abstract: Apparatus for use within a virtual memory data processing system offering a way of protecting data used at one interrupt level state from unauthorized use at another interrupt level state. A virtual memory data processing system permits a computer program to specify relative (or virtual) addresses rather than physical (or real) addresses. Most practical virtual memory data processing systems utilize a Virtual Address Translator (VAT), often called a Directory Look-Aside Table (DLAT). The VAT contains a plurality of internal conversion tables which perform virtual address to real address translation. A binary code, called the Interrupt Level Code (ILC), is appended to the virtual address of entries within the plurality of internal conversion tables within the VAT to permit the VAT to translate virtual addresses to real addresses only if the present Central Processing Unit (CPU) interrupt level state corresponds to the interrupt level state denoted by the ILC within the VAT.

Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining a history of instructions which have been most recently executed by a digital computer. A push-down stack is utilized for storing the contents of the program address counter, or the operand portion of the instruction register, of the computer upon the execution of every instruction and then pushing down the push-down stack whenever the last instruction executed by the digital computer was a branch type instruction. Provision may also be made for addressing the push-down stack so that the contents thereof may be reviewed in the order opposite from which it was loaded. This apparatus allows a user or diagnostic program to have access to the address of the most recently executed branch type instructions. In this way, a history of the most recently executed instructions can be maintained to aid hardware and software diagnostics.
