Patent number: 7589520Abstract: A method for soaking a device in an automated testing system, includes setting a temperature control device to a first temperature, exposing the device to the temperature control device, and driving the temperature control device to a second temperature. The temperature transition rate from the first temperature to the second temperature is derived from a first natural decay rate. The first natural decay rate is based on a first-order thermal response of the device when the device is suspended in free air. The second temperature of the temperature control device is relative to a set point temperature so that when the device is socketed for testing, the temperature of the device settles at the set point temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Delta Design, Inc.Inventors: Troy Taylor, Michael Callaway, Tom Jones

Publication number: 20040172427Abstract: A system and method for executing a participating application from media coupled to a computing device. The participating application may be executed automatically or manually. When the application is executed, a task disk control file is read from the removable media. The task disk control file contains all of the configuration information necessary to run the participating application from the coupled media. The participating application is then launched for use by a user. After the user is finished using the participating application, all data files are saved, temporary files deleted and configuration information removed prior to the termination of the application to return the computing device to an original state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2004Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventors: Trent M. Thomas, Christopher R. Low, Stephen Larry McBride, Troy Taylor Davidson

Publication number: 20040083473Abstract: A system and method for automatically executing a participating application upon insertion of a removable media into a computing device. When the computing device detects that the removable media containing has been inserted, a task disk control file is read from the removable media. The task disk control file contains all of the configuration information necessary to run the participating application from the removable media The participating application is then launched for use by a user. After the user is finished using the participating application, the removable disk is automatically ejected. In addition to monitoring for insertion of the removable media, events such as a completion of the self-contained application and a request to eject the media are monitored. When a completion event is encountered, all data files are saved, temporary files deleted and configuration information removed prior to the removable disk ejection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2003Publication date: April 29, 2004Applicant: Iomega CorporationInventors: Trent M.

Publication number: 20030041160Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for reducing the overhead associated with media commands issued to computing devices. A request is received from an application to access a device, and a single media present command is issued to a device driver to determine if media is present in the device. The request is passed to the device driver only if media is present in the device. Moreover, a method of intercepting commands issued to a device driver, is provided wherein a call is received from an application which is intended for a device driver, the call is buffered until media is present in a device whereupon the call is released to the device driver for processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2001Publication date: February 27, 2003Inventors: Robert James Sandman, Troy Taylor Davidson, Don Earl Redford
