  • Publication number: 20060015282
    Abstract: A display device testing system includes a video signal outputting apparatus (10), a remote controller (20), a back board (30) and a display device (40). The video outputting apparatus outputs video signals which contain one or more testing samples provided for testing the display device to the display device. The remote controller generates control signals to control the display device to display the testing samples. The back board includes an interface. The interface receives the control signals from the controller, combines the control signals with the video signals into mixed signals, and transmits the mixed signals to the display device to obtain a test result. The test result is sent back to the remote controller via the back board for evaluating the performances of the display device. A related method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6071067
    Abstract: An apparatus for unloading tubes containing IC devices is disclosed, providing a quiet, low-wear device for separating and ejecting empty tubes from the bottom of a stack. The apparatus consists of a conventional input tube unloading system with novel tube pusher plate, rotary disk, and guide rod elements that reduce wear on both the apparatus and the tubes themselves. The potential risk of damage to the devices in the tubes is also reduced. The apparatus operates quietly because of low friction contact points with the tubes, thus reducing operator fatigue associated with noise.
