  • Patent number: 9612260
    Abstract: A method and electronic device for identifying when to replace/clean a probe card or socket are provided. The method includes receiving an ID of the probe card or socket from a tag associated with the probe card or socket before performing an insertion on a test system. For the received ID, there is determined a count of insertions performed on the probe card, and an indication to replace/clean the probe card or socket is generated when the count of insertions equals the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20160363471
    Abstract: A non-intrusive flow measurement and detection device is provided. The device includes a first transducer; a second transducer; and detection/reporting circuitry coupled to the first and second transducers. The non-intrusive flow measurement and detection device is mounted to a pipe or conduit with the first and second transducers in contact with an outer surface of the pipe or conduit. The first transducer detects and measures vibration in the pipe or conduit in response to gas or liquid flowing through the pipe or conduit. The second transducer detects and measures sound in the pipe or conduit in response to gas or liquid flowing through the pipe or conduit. The detection/reporting circuitry compares the measured flow and flow rate determined by the first and second transducers with established limits to determine if the flow and flow rate is within the established limits.
