US Patent:

60520531, Apr 18, 2000

Filed:

Oct 22, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/955547

Inventors:

Bradford Tyler Jubin - Peachtree City GA
Michael Albert Sanchez - Fayetteville GA

Assignee:

Semtronics Corporation - Peachtree City GA

International Classification:

G08B 2100

US Classification:

340540

Abstract:

The present invention provides automated systems for performing electrostatic discharge (ESD) device efficacy monitoring and recording the results for an ESD auditing program. Systems of the present invention comprise at least one ESD device monitoring unit. A communication system allows the monitoring unit to communicate with a central computer which collects, stores and allows the manipulation of the test data. Systems of the present invention are therefore useful in testing the ESD devices, documenting their performance, and controlling access to particular work areas based on testing results.

International Classification:

G08B 2100

US Classification:

702123

Abstract:

The present invention provides automated systems for performing electrostatic discharge (ESD) device efficacy verification and recording the results for an ESD auditing program. Systems of the present invention comprise at least one ESD device testing unit. The testing unit may include sensors and circuits for identifying particular worker who are performing the test. The testing unit includes a testing circuitry for periodic verification of the efficacy of the ESD device. A communication system allows the testing unit to communicate with a central computer which collects, stores and allows the manipulation of the test data. Systems of the present invention are therefore useful in testing the ESD devices, documenting their performance, and controlling access to particular work areas based on testing results.
