    摘要: An improved prober for an electronic devices test system is provided. The prober is “configurable,” meaning that it can be adapted for different device layouts and substrate sizes. The prober generally includes a frame, at least one prober bar having a first end and a second end, a frame connection mechanism that allows for ready relocation of the prober bar to the frame at selected points along the frame, and a plurality of electrical contact pins along the prober bar for placing selected electronic devices in electrical communication with a system controller during testing. In one embodiment, the prober is be used to test devices such as thin film transistors on a glass substrate. Typically, the glass substrate is square, and the frame is also square. In this way, “x” and “y” axes are defined by the frame. The electrical pins may be movable along the axial length of the prober bars, or may be selectively pushed down to contact selected contact pads on the substrate.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for recording data on a magnetooptical recording medium finds an optimum laser beam intensities for recording. The method and apparatus do not cause a low level P.sub.L setting to become excessively low and poor overwriting of data during overwrite recording. Recording can be accomplished changing low level and high level laser beam intensities, while holding the ratio of the low level and high level laser beam intensities constant. Data can be reproduced and evaluated. When the optimum laser beam intensities have not been determined, the intensity ratio of the low level and high level intensities can be altered. After data has been is reproduced and evaluated, the process can be repeated, until the optimum laser beam intensities are obtained. Further, recording can be based on temperature of the recording medium and surroundings to obtain optimum laser beam intensities.

    摘要: In magnetooptic recording, compensation is provided for changes in temperature up and down characteristics for heating and cooling processes of a recording medium due to the rise and fall of a laser beam effected in dependence on the relative velocity of the laser beam and the recording medium. The advantages of the Z-CAV system, i.e., a high density recording and an enhanced access performance are realized and the reliability for performing a high density recording is also improved in the case of the CAV system. The relation between the relative velocity of the laser beam and the medium or the linear velocity of the medium and the thermal time constant of the medium is clarified and the thermal time constant .tau. at the current linear velocity is obtained. Information to be recorded is converted into binary signals and the laser beam intensity modulated in accordance with the binary signals is projected on the mangetooptic recording medium thereby recording the information. Thermal time constant information relating to the temperature variations of the magnetooptic recording medium due to the projection of the laser beam is preliminarily recorded on the magnetooptic recording medium. A clock frequency f is controlled in such a manner that a ratio T/.tau. between a reciprocal T of the clock frequency f and the thermal time constant .tau. of the medium is always maintained constant. The starting and end positions of each mark are formed with a high degree of accuracy.

    摘要: This invention relates to an optical recording method and apparatus, in which the intensity of a laser beam to be radiated onto an optical recording medium is raised from an intensity P.sub.pre for maintaining a pre-heat state in which the temperature of the medium surface becomes a predetermined temperature, to P.sub.W1 higher than P.sub.pre, the intensity is reduced to an intensity P.sub.LT lower than P.sub.W1 after P.sub.W1 is maintained for a time T.sub.W1, and thereafter, the laser beam is intensity-modulated between P.sub.LT and an intensity P.sub.W2 higher than P.sub.LT so as to form a mark on the optical recording medium. When at least one of P.sub.W2, P.sub.LT, and a time T.sub.W2 for maintaining P.sub.W2 is controlled, the medium temperature, after an elapse of T.sub.W1, at the peak temperature position or the spot center position of the laser beam radiated onto the medium surface is equal to the medium temperature after an elapse of T.sub.W2.

    摘要: A piping travelling apparatus having a plurality of continuous treads driven by motors through transmission gearing. The continuous treads are mounted to a frame and spaced apart a predetermined distance peripherally of the inner wall surface of the piping. At least one of the continuous treads is kept in contact with the inner wall surface of the piping no matter what the posture of the apparatus may be, so that the apparatus can travel without any trouble even if its posture undergoes a change when it moves along elevations and depressions on the inner wall surface of the piping or negotiates the boundary between different levels of the inner wall surface or bends of the piping. The apparatus enables a travel through piping of relatively small diameter having vertical or steeply slanted pipes to be made without any trouble.
