  • Patent number: 8751183
    Abstract: A tester module for automatic test equipment (ATE) includes test instruments for testing an integrated circuit device under test (DUT). A plurality of sensors include sensors coupled to or proximate to the test instruments for detecting a plurality of different maintenance triggers associated with the test instruments. A memory stores code including operating system code for controlling the test instruments and for implementing a system maintenance compliance tool. A processor is coupled to the test instruments the sensors and the memory. The processor runs the operating system code including the system maintenance compliance tool. The system maintenance compliance tool upon receiving notification of at least a first maintenance trigger automatically blocks the ATE being used for the testing. The system maintenance compliance tool can include a listing of needed maintenance actions associated with the maintenance triggers that when completed automatically releases the ATE to allow resumption of testing.

  • Patent number: 4101832
    Abstract: A flaw detection device, and method of operation thereof, for inspecting an entire workpiece, such as a tube or pipe, for the presence of defects. The detection device includes a plurality of pickup arms mounted in spaced relation with respect to each other around a work path, and a plurality of sensing coils carried by each of the pickup arms. The pickup arms are each mounted on a support member to pivot on an axis transverse to the direction of the work path so that the sensing coils may be moved into proximity and around the circumference of a workpiece as the workpiece travels along the work path.
