Abstract: A sports implement swing analyzer. The present invention comprises an implement having means for supporting acceleration measurement means; acceleration measurement means for measuring the acceleration of said implement through a swing for outputting a signal characteristic of said acceleration; means for transmitting said acceleration signal to a processing means; means responsive to said transmitting means for processing said acceleration signal according to a prestored algorithm and for translating said signal into an output characteristic of swing performance; and means for displaying said output characteristic of swing performance.

Abstract: A heated bonding tool for the manufacture of semiconductor devices comprises a high density non-porous alumina body having a mounting portion at one end and a working portion at the other end. The working portion end is tapered and converges toward the working tip portion. An electrically conductive-resistive thick film is deposited over the outer surface of the tapered portion intermediate said mounting portion and said working tip portion which is capable of heating said working tip of said bonding tool up to 600.degree. C. Preferably the thick film material has a positive or negative temperature coefficient of resistance which permits the temperature of the working tip to be monitored as a function of the measured resistance of the thick film. An insulative heat resistant terminal block is provided with a pair of resilient leads connected to a power source.
