  • Publication number: 20110043231
    Abstract: A method of post-processing a plurality of electronic components in a post-processing machine after fabrication of the electronic components including providing a carrier with align fixtures, which align fixtures have a clamping mechanism, actuating the clamping mechanism to enlarge a size of receptacles, each of the receptacles is assigned to one of the align fixtures and the enlarged receptacles are larger than the electronic components to be received, positioning the electronic components in the receptacles of the align fixtures, actuating the clamping mechanism to reduce a size of the receptacles so that the electronic components are aligned within the receptacles of the carrier, placing the carrier in the post processing machine, and subjecting the electronic components to operations of the post-processing machine while the electronic components maintain in aligned positions in the receptacles of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20100308853
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for preventing untested or improperly tested printed circuit boards from being used in a fire pump control system by interrogating each printed circuit board to ensure post-assembly fitness. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention comprise retrieving test status information stored on non-volatile memory of a printed circuit board, verifying the test status information stored on the non-volatile memory of the PCB, determining if all tests performed on the PCB have passed, outputting a message regarding the status of the PCB, and continuing to interrogate each additional PCB in the fire pump controller. A pass flag is set and recorded on the non-volatile memory of a respective PCB if all tests on the respective PCB have passed. Whereas, an error flag is set and recorded on the non-volatile memory if at least one test on a respective PCB has failed.
