  • Patent number: 10602833
    Abstract: A luggage assembly includes a first bag and a second bag, each bag having a rear side with a number of fasteners that engage the rear sides of the other bag to attach them together. The rear sides also have an open slot near the top end to receive a dual bag strap extending between the bags, such that the bags may be used as saddlebags. The bags may further include bag handles near the top end of the bags, and an assembly handle extending between the bag handles such that the luggage assembly may be conveniently carried as a single unit. The luggage assembly also includes an individual bag strap that may attach to the fasteners on the rear sides such that the bags may be used and carried individually.

  • Patent number: 9869697
    Abstract: A probe card assembly and associated processes of forming them may include a wiring substrate with a first surface and an opposite surface, an electrically conductive first via comprising electrically conductive material extending into the wiring substrate from the opposite surface and ending before reaching the first surface, and a plurality of electrically conductive second vias, and a custom electrically conductive terminal disposed on the first surface such that said custom terminal covers the first via and contacts one of the second vias adjacent to said first via without electrically contacting the first via. Each of the second vias may be electrically conductive from the first surface to the opposite surface. The first via may include electrically insulating material disposed within a hole in the first via.

  • Patent number: 7622935
    Abstract: A probe card assembly can comprise a probe head assembly and a wiring substrate. The probe head assembly can comprise a plurality of probes disposed to contact an electronic device disposed on a holder in a test housing. The wiring substrate can include an electrical interface to a test controller and a plurality of electrical wiring composing electrical paths between the electrical interface and ones of the probes, and the wiring substrate can comprise a first portion on which the electrical interface is disposed and a second portion composing the probe head assembly. The second portion of the wiring substrate can be moveable with respect to the first portion of the wiring substrate.
