Patent number: 10788531Abstract: An improved package device simulator for the testing of testing sockets, the package device simulator being formed of a first layer of non-conductive rigid substrate with a second layer formed of a plurality of electrically conductive traces being added thereto. A third layer of non-conductive rigid substrate is adhered to the first layer with the second layer being sealed there between. The third layer having a plurality of openings therein, wherein the openings align with and expose a portion of the electrically conductive traces of the second layer. Conductive binding material and contact balls are added to the openings and the chip is cured thereby fusing the contact balls with the exposed portions of the traces. Next, the exposed surfaces are coated with a hardening conductive material, such as layers of Nickel and/or Gold. In this way an improved package device simulator is formed that is durable, easier to manufacture and less expensive than a solid metallic package device simulator.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: MODUS TEST, LLCInventors: Lynwood Adams, Bruce Rogers, Jack Lewis, Tim Conner, Jay Williams, Mike Young, Dawn Ritz

Patent number: 10617262Abstract: A cutting board system that includes a cutting surface that removeably cooperates with at least one side of a base portion of the cutting board system. In a preferred aspect, the cutting surface includes a cutting layer and an indicator layer that underlies the cutting layer. Exposure of the indicator layer provides an indication as to degradation or use of the cutting layer and is indicative of desired replacement of the cutting surface. In a more preferred embodiment, respective cutting layers are associated with the generally opposite sides of the indicator layer such that the cutting surface is reversible.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: San Jamar, Inc.Inventors: Sherry Eckholm, Matthew J.

Publication number: 20150134385Abstract: A Process Control and Governance method is used to manage the entire process flow into several sub-processes. The process is overseen and managed by one Process Initiator, and is distributed to a layered execution structure consisting of a plurality of Process Executors. The Process Initiator and the Process Executors in all layers send messages corresponding to the tasks to a database system via a sending program. The database shows latest messages of all the processes, so that the Process Initiator can inquire and understand the latest progress of the processes in time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: TERRENCE PHILLIPS, YONG-JONG YEN, MIKE YOUNG
