20100117669 | PROBE CARD ACTUATOR - A probe card test interface is described. The probe card test interface includes a first frame configured to support a probe card circuit card assembly (CCA). The probe card CCA is configured to contact a semiconductor wafer with one or more test probes. The first frame is also configured to support a first group of electrical contact points, the first group of electrical contact point being electrically coupled to circuitry of the probe card CCA. A second frame is coupled to a test interface CCA, where the test interface CCA includes a second group of electrical contact points. A number of actuation devices are slidably mounted on the second frame. The actuation devices have a tip member configured to engage a lip of the first frame when the corresponding actuation device is moved to an engagement position. When all of the actuation devices are in the engagement position, simultaneous actuation of the actuation devices moves the first frame toward the second frame to couple the first and second groups of electrical contact points. The first group of electrical contact points is supported by the first frame such that the probe card CCA experiences little or no deflection during actuation of the actuation devices, thereby preventing damage to the probe card CCA. | 05-13-2010 |

20150023338 | WIRELESS ACCESS POINT WITH WILDCARD SSID RESPONSE ENABLING ASSOCIATION BY CLIENT DEVICE REQUESTING ANY SSID AND SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - A wireless access point includes an antenna, a connection port providing wired communications with a network, one or more processors, and a storage device having software stored therein. When executed by the one or more processors the software causes the wireless access point to respond to a probe from a client device requesting a specific service set identifier according to a wildcard service set identifier response in order to facilitate wireless association of the client device with the wireless access point regardless of the specific service set identifier requested by the client device, and to provide the client device with wireless access to the network. In this way, the client device is enabled to associate with the wireless access point and receive access to the network without a specific service set identifier requested by the client device being preprogrammed into the wireless access point. | 01-22-2015 |

20100230479 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER AND BLANKS FOR CONSTRUCTING THE SAME - A container configured to be selectively moved between a substantially flat configuration and a deployed configuration is provided. The container includes a plurality of side walls formed from a first blank. The first blank includes a plurality of side panels extending in series along a plurality of substantially parallel fold lines and at least one slot defined within at least one side panel of the plurality of side panels. The container further includes a bottom wall coupled to the plurality of side walls, wherein the bottom wall is formed from a second blank. The second blank includes a plurality of side edges and at least one tab extending form at least one side edge. The at least one tab is configured to be inserted into the at least one slot to construct the container. The second blank is coupled to the first blank at least the at least one slot and the at least one tab for forming the bottom wall of the container. | 09-16-2010 |
20140339292 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER AND BLANKS FOR CONSTRUCTING THE SAME - A container configured to be selectively moved between a substantially flat configuration and a deployed configuration is provided. The container includes a plurality of side walls formed from a first blank and a bottom wall formed from a second blank. Each side wall has an end flap extending from a bottom edge of the first blank. The bottom wall is coupled to a first end flap extending from a first side wall of the first blank, and is foldable along a fold line for selectively moving the container from a deployed configuration into a substantially flat configuration. A second end flap extends from a second side wall adjacent the first side wall, and a third end flap extends from a third side wall adjacent the second side wall. The second and third end flaps support the second blank in uncoupled communication when the container is in the deployed configuration. | 11-20-2014 |

20120073827 | DOWNHOLE CATCHER FOR AN ACTUATING BALL AND METHOD - A ball catching device has been invented that catches an actuator ball used in a wellbore to actuate a downhole tool. The device catches the ball downhole as it begins to flow back with fluids toward surface. The device is configured such that when a ball flows back with wellbore fluids, the ball can flow through the device and if the ball reverses direction, as by falling back due to decreased or stopped production back flow, then the device will catch the ball and keep it from falling back past the device into the well. | 03-29-2012 |
