Publication number: 20050021275Abstract: Electronic devices, such as memory devices are tested by applying test data, such as vectors of memory data having data field, control and address information, with a tester to detect error responses. Applied test data is captured, compressed and stored for subsequent analysis to isolate the test data associated with the error response. The saved compressed test data is de-compressed to replay the test data for a logic analyzer so that adequate history of the test data exists to determine the test cycles that included the stimulus associated with the error response. Identification of the test cycles that include the stimulus associated with the error response allows creation of test programs that run in reduced time by avoiding empty test cycles not associated with the error response.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Archer Lawrence, Jack Little, Brian Kleen, Robert Barr

Patent number: 6454454Abstract: An extruder screw mechanism has a barrel that is heated by heating coils, an internal screw, and a cylindrical melt sleeve having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, axially extending, radial slots there through located between the external barrel and the internal screw. Another embodiment of the extruder has a barrel and an internal screw, with the internal screw having either a single central axial bore or a plurality of internal axial bores. The internal screw is provided with a plurality of external threads, with the threads each having a curved starting portion with a helix angle that has a finite value and gradually increases along an initial portion of the screw until the threads are substantially linear and parallel to the axis of the screw along the melting portion of the screw; a related embodiment has threadless portion separating the linear threads from the curved upstream threads.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Inventor: Robert A.

Patent number: 6319653Abstract: A negative-acting photoimageable composition useful as a primary imaging resist in the manufacture of printed circuit boards comprises an acid-functional binder polymer, a photopolymerizable component, and a photoinitiator chemical system, in which all or a portion of the photopolymerizable component comprises a (meth)acrylate functional urethane oligomer, wherein the (meth)acrylate functionality is separated from the urethane linkage by at least two alkylene oxide groups and at least one ring-opened lactone group for improved flexibility, tenting strength, fine line adhesion, developer scumming, coupled with unexpectedly improved resistance to processing chemicals, such as alkaline developing solutions, acid etching solutions, and acid plating baths, and stripping ability in strong alkaline aqueous stripping solutions. The acid-functional binder polymer has a low molecular weight and does not contain styrene, contributing to stripping ability and improved resolution.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1999Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Morton International Inc.Inventor: Robert Barr

Patent number: 6254266Abstract: An extruder-mixer has a plurality of rotor rings provided on the downstream end of a motor driven extruder shaft mounted for rotation in a conventional heated barrel or stator. The rings comprise a plurality of spaced driven rotor rings spaced apart from each other and a plurality of non-driven but rotatable floating rings interleaved between each pair of driven rotor rings. Both rings have parallel upstream and downstream faces between which polymer flow passageways extend so that the polymer melt moves downstream first through one type of ring followed by movement through the other type of ring and the viscosity of the melt causes the rotatable floating rings to be rotated by the driven rings at a slower speed than the driven rings so that shearing force on the melt effects mixing of the melt.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1998Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Inventors: Robert A. Barr, Jeffrey A. Myers

Patent number: 6173795Abstract: A multi-cycle circulating sub apparatus having a control member for controlling the movement of a sleeve between a first or closed position and a second or open position. The control member is slidably mounted in a body and is moveable by fluid pressure in the body in a first axial direction relative to the body. The control member also has a spring biasing the control member in an opposite axial direction of the body. A pin is secured to either the body or the control member. A central groove, in which a portion of the pin is received, is formed in the other of the body or control member. The central groove is shaped to limit axial displacement of the control member in response to pressure variations in the body such that only after a predetermined number of movements of the control member to a first limit position is the control member able to move to a second limit position to displace the sleeve into the second position. The apparatus may also be reset many times while remaining in a downhole position.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1998Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Smith International, Inc.Inventors: Bruce McGarian, Lawrence Robert Barr
