20090134880 | TEST CIRCUITS AND CURRENT PULSE GENERATOR FOR SIMULATING AN ELECTOSTATIC DISCHARGE - This invention is an electrostatic discharge testing circuit that can deliver current pulses to a component under test (CUT) with a custom amplitude versus time profile shape. Pulse generation with customized shapes is accomplished by discharging an energy storage network comprised of capacitor(s), transmission line(s) and other passive components. Current pulses compliant to the European International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 61000-4-2 standard can be so produced. These current pulses are delivered to the CUT with low distortion through a constant impedance electrical path, such as a combination of cables and controlled impedance conductors of printed wiring boards compatible with packaged IC devices, assemblies, and wafer probes. The current pulses can be delivered with various impedances, and measurements made that allow the CUT currents and voltages to be calculated. | 05-28-2009 |

20080315891 | Transmission line pulse testing with reflection control - A Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) testing system is disclosed that has a negative pulse inverter circuit that prevents large negative reflections which typically occur after the initial TLP pulse is applied to a low impedance device under test (DUT). Avoiding repetitive reflections, which naturally occur in TLP systems, prevents inducing DUT damage and confusing testing results. The pulse inverter circuit reduces reflections to lower levels than prior art TLP configurations, and can also be combined with known techniques to further reduce reflections for different impedance DUTs. | 12-25-2008 |
20100117677 | METHOD TO SYNCHRONIZE TWO DIFFERENT PULSE GENERATORS - This invention generates two pulses for semiconductor testing that have leading edges coordinated in time by synchronizing the pulses from two different styles of pulse generators (pulsers). One pulser uses spark discharge pulse generation and the other pulser is a typical solid state pulser. The spark discharge pulser has high power pulse generation but its pulse timing can not be tightly controlled. The output pulse of the spark discharge pulser is split unequally, with a small amount used to trigger the solid state pulser, and the large pulse energy delayed by a cable of length for a signal propagation delay equal or greater than the trigger-input-to-pulse-output delay of the solid state pulser. Variable attenuators control the trigger signal amplitude and a level shifting circuit makes the trigger signal compatible with standard logic signal levels. The two pulses can be applied to semiconductors with their leading edges adjustable relative to each other to measure the semiconductors operation. | 05-13-2010 |
20130063176 | TEST CIRCUITS AND CURRENT PULSE GENERATOR FOR SIMULATING AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE - This invention is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing circuit that can deliver current pulses to a component under test (CUT) with controlled impedance.

The current pulse can be delivered to the CUT with various forcing impedances. Measurements of the current passing through the CUT can be made. | 03-14-2013 |
20160097804 | TRANSMISSION LINE PULSE AND VERY FAST TRANSMISSION LINE PULSE REFLECTION CONTROL - An approach for transmission line pulse and very fast transmission line pulse reflection control is provided.

The structure of the power splitter, along with having the delivery cable and the open ended delay cable with the same signal propagation time and pulse transmission characteristics enable the canceling of pulse reflections from the DUT. | 04-07-2016 |

20140345393 | TENSION GAUGE APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING BELT TENSION - A return container for a sensor device and methods of forming a sensor device return container are disclosed. Generally, the apparatus may include a deflecting blade, a handle, and an indicator. The deflecting blade has a shaft and planar portion extending from respective ends. The planar portion can be placed proximate a working surface associated with a conveyor bearing and movable to provide the tension force on the belt. The handle is connected to the shaft and provides a torque when the handle is moved about an axis of the shaft. As an initial torque is applied to the shaft, the planar portion applies a first force against the working surface. The indicator is on the handle and measures the tension force on the belt when the handle provides a sufficiently increased torque such that the planar portion minimally deflects the working surface to a predetermined position. | 11-27-2014 |
