Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed to detect and repair an error condition in a device comprising a computer readable medium comprising computer readable code. The method supplies an engineering server comprising a configuration control database in communication with a product failure alert assembly. The method then interconnects the product failure alert assembly with a product comprising a computer readable medium comprising computer readable code. The method provides product failure information to the engineering server, identifies one or more error conditions, identifies one or more fault symptom codes, determines if the configuration control database comprises one or more code updates associated with those one or more fault symptom codes, and installs those one or more code updates on the product.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for providing removable storage management services using removable storage error information. Read/write error information is obtained for at least one removable storage by interfacing with the removable storage manager. The obtained read/write error information for the at least one removable storage is processed to determine read/write error rates for the at least one removable storage. A determination is made as to whether the determined read/write error rates for the at least one removable storage exceed at least one read/write error threshold. At least one message is sent to the removable storage manager to replace the at least one removable storage having read/write error rates that exceed the at least one read/write error threshold.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for accessing removable storage management services to obtain replacement instructions indicating whether to replace removable storage. Replacement information indicating whether to replace at least one of a plurality of managed removable storages is obtained by interfacing with a service computer over a network. Read/write error information for the at least one removable storage is gathered and transmitted to the service computer. Replacement instructions indicating whether to replace the at least one removable storage are received from the service computer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to monitor an out-sourced manufacturing process: A second manufacturer, manufactures a product under contract with a first manufacturer, using an out-sourced manufacturing process. The method supplies a yield monitoring assembly in communication with both the first manufacturer and the second manufacturer. The method establishes a warning threshold, calculates a measured out-sourced manufacturing process yield, and determines if the measured out-sourced manufacturing process yield is greater than said warning threshold. If the method determines that the measured out-sourced manufacturing process yield is not greater than the warning threshold, then the method provides a warning message to the first manufacturer.

Abstract: A product development management system, comprising: a product database storage unit configured to be registered information relating to a product for which an order is registered; a product knowledge database storage unit to be registered information relating to a product having a past record of manufactures; and a central processing control unit configured to have a decision module configured to forecast a product after manufacturing by referring to said product database storage unit and said product knowledge database unit and decide whether said product satisfies predetermined conditions.

Abstract: A group work control system 10 is implemented with a network including respective terminals 1a to 1c connected to each other by a communication line 4 and serves to control development work and the like having a plurality of work steps through the network. The group work control system 10 comprises a server 2 serving to provide a schedule file in which is written the schedule of the work steps and a group work cooperation program running on the terminal 1a to 1c for displaying the work items to be conducted in the respective work steps.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device burn-in apparatus, a film on which a plurality of TAB products, each having a semiconductor device thereon, are arranged in succession and a flexible tape-like wiring board which is situated in the same plane as, and in parallel to, the film and on which electrically conductive wiring patterns are formed are detachably clamped by sockets, in units of one of the TAB products. The film and the wiring board are electrically connected by a wiring board provided on each socket. The film, wiring board and socket are stored in a storage member as a combined structure having an elongated shape, and the combined structure is subjected to a burn-in process.

Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a tape member, an IC chip mounted on the tape member, a plurality of leads arranged on the tape member each having one end connected to the IC chip and the other end provided with an area to be used for testing the IC chip and an insulation member for covering said plurality of leads except the one ends and the areas to be used for testing the IC chip, the tape member being provided with one or more one openings that reach the plurality of leads. With such an arrangement, the plurality of leads can be easily accessed and brought into contact with probes for testing the IC chip.

Abstract: An interactive intelligent interface in a system which performs an interactive processing making the system recognize the capacity of a user of the system. The system has a function of providing a processing method conformable to the recognized capacity of the system user, whereby a processing method to be performed by the system is changed in accordance with the operating or processing capacity of the system user so that a procedure desired by the system user can be performed irrespective of the operating or processing capacity of the system user.
