Abstract: Techniques for configuring a test system that enable simple specification of a degree of concurrency in testing separate functional portions of a semiconductor device. For a test flow with multiple sub-flows, the pins accessed in connection with each sub-flow may define a flow domain. Site regions, each associated with a flow domain, may be defined. Tester sites may be associated with each of these flow domain specific site regions and independently operating resources may be assigned to these tester sites. A second portion of the defined site regions may be associated with tester sites, but resources assigned to these site regions may be accessed from multiple flow domains. Test blocks, even if not developed for concurrent execution, may be executed concurrently using resources in the flow domain specific site regions. Flexibility is provided to share resources through the use of the second portion of the site regions.

Abstract: An Improved Gate Assembly is disclosed. The preferred gate assembly is constructed primarily from plastic or other resilient material that resists denting, bending, chipping, cracking, and graffiti painting. The gate assembly includes a novel mounting and hinge system from which the gates hang and swing, and which permits the pivot points to flex in order to prevent damage to the gate members themselves. The preferred gate system includes a cane bolt assembly that remains retracted while the gates are being moved, and also flexes and/or bends if the gates are struck by a vehicle. The gates include shock-absorbing bumper assemblies to prevent damage to them and may include display sections for displaying pertinent warnings or other information.
