Patent number: 7239127Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for used in a board inspection capable of an inspection of defect in a circuit board with high resolution over a wide range. The method is used for manufacturing a sensor probe comprising layers which include an electrode layer, a lead wire layer and a bridge layer (41). These layers are laminated on a base (30) in the form of a flat plate composed of silicon. The electrode layer is comprised of a set of sensor electrodes (40). The lead wire layer is comprised of a set of lead wires (50) for transferring a signal externally. The bridge layer couples between the electrode layer and the lead wire layer. The lead wire layer is formed by means of depositing aluminum in accordance with a first mask pattern. The bridge layer is formed by means of growing each of bridge wires (41) in the direction perpendicular to the base. The bridge wires extend in the direction perpendicular to the base and are connected to respective lead wires of the lead layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: OHT Inc.Inventors: Yuji Odan, Shuji Yamaoka

Publication number: 20020152138Abstract: The present invention provides an information service method, an information service system and a system component thereof, allowing users to purchase products with high reliability or credibility on a network. A user 101 checks a home page provided by an information provider 102 to input orders for a product for purchase and an investigation of the product. The information provider 102 receives identification information of the user/product and information of the order for the investigation, and then stores them in a database 102e with a certain association therebetween. According to the received investigation order, an investigation-instructing mechanism 102e sends an investigation agent 105a to a real store 104 to investigate the requested product. The investigation agent 105a reports a result of the investigation to a result-judging mechanism 102e. Then, information about the investigation result is transmitted from the information provider 102 to the user 101 via the Internet 103.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2002Publication date: October 17, 2002Inventors: Shojo Ishioka, Yuji Odan
