Abstract:
A test system is provided for performing functional tests on combinatorial and sequential monolithic devices with the testing automatically programmed under control of a computer processing unit. The test results can be printed out on a printer, logged on tape and/or punched on cards. Tests are performed by the system under the control of an operational test program comprised of a plurality of interrelated subprograms. The operational test program is run by a computer processing unit which processes the programmed instructions through an input-output logic control section which sets up the test circuit configurations in and commands to an analog section. The analog section provides the required bias, pin resistor loads and signal levels to a device under test. The test parameter data is sensed by a digital voltmeter for conversion from analog-todigital data form, and for optional visual display if desired. The digital test parameter data is inserted in a comparator for pass/fail logic comparison. High, Low and/or No-Fail information is added by the comparator and sent with the converted digital information to the input-output logic control section where the data is serialized and fed to the computer processing unit for logging or analysis.
Abstract:
A system for testing complex circuitry primarily in large scale integration, where a great number of inputs and outputs must be tested and the internal circuitry is inaccessible. The test system has a random number generator which simultaneously applies a plurality of signals in a random pattern to the plurality of input pins of both the test circuit and a reference circuit. Compare circuitry is responsive to signals received from the test and reference circuits and provides an error signal when the two outputs are not matched.
Abstract:
A beam of charged particles is deflected in a closed path such as a square, for example, over a cross wire grid at a constant velocity by an X Y deflection system. A small high frequency jitter is added at both axes of deflection to cause oscillation of the beam at 45* to the X and Y axes. From the time that the leading edge of the oscillating beam passes over the wire until the trailing edge of the beam passes over the wire, an envelope of the oscillations produced by the jitter is obtained. A second envelope is obtained when the leading edge of the beam exits from being over the wire until the trailing edge of the beam ceases to be over the wire. Thus, a pair of envelopes is produced as the beam passes over each wire of the grid. The number of pulses exceeding ten per cent of the peak voltage in the eight envelopes produced by the beam completing a cycle in its closed path around the grid are counted and compared with those counted during the previous cycle of the beam moving in its closed path over the grid. As the number of pulses decreases, the quality of the focus of the beam increases so that correction signals are applied to the focus coil in accordance with whether the number of pulses is increasing or decreasing.

Abstract:
The plastic insulated cross-connection wires on the backside of an electrical panel are coaxed by momentarily applying a mass of molten, low melting temperature metal to the backside of the panel with the major portion then removed. The adhering portion solidifies and the shielded cross-connections are potted in a plastic mass to maintain the wires in position and to protect the same against mechanical impact.
