  • Patent number: 8059002
    Abstract: A pool guard alarm apparatus includes an alarm body, a triggering device and a relative triggering element. The alarm body accommodates a circuit board and a battery for providing a power source. The circuit board is provided with several buttons and a sound member. The buttons enable an authorized person to bypass the alarm mode. The triggering device located at the entrance to the pool has a movable part which is elastic to be against the relative triggering element. The moveable part will produce a triggering signal to the circuit board when the entrance is opened. The circuit board activates the sound member to produce an alarm sound after a predetermined time. The alarm sound is repeated after a period of time while in the alarm mode. When the entrance is then closed, the user must reset a pass code to activate the said alarm mode.

  • Patent number: 7642105
    Abstract: A manufacturing method makes memory modules from partially-good DRAM chips soldered to its substrate. The partially-good DRAM chips have a number of defective memory cells that is below a test threshold, such as 10%. Packaged DRAM chips are optionally pre-screened and considered to pass when the number of defects found is less than the test threshold. A defect table is created during testing and written to a serial-presence-detect electrically-erasable read-only memory (SPD-EEPROM) on the memory module. The memory module is finally tested on a target-system tester that reads the defect table during booting, and redirects memory access to defective memory locations identified by the defect table. The memory modules may be burned in or tested at various temperatures and voltages to increase reliability.
