International Classification:

B08B 304

US Classification:

134 26, 134 254, 134 33, 134140, 134157, 134164, 134902

Abstract:

An integrated circuit assembly cleaning apparatus and method allow a cleaning solution to completely fill spaces within an integrated circuit assembly. Such spaces include, for example, the thin space between the die and substrate of a flip-chip integrated circuit. The cleaning solution fills the space while the air initially occupying the space escapes. These actions are accomplished by first tilting the integrated circuit assembly from horizontal. The integrated circuit assembly is then immersed in the bath at a controllable rate to allow the cleaning solution to completely fill the space while the air in the space escapes.

International Classification:

H04N 5/222
H04N 5/238

US Classification:

348370, 348365, 118713, 356399

Abstract:

Techniques for automatically adjusting and/or optimizing the color and/or intensity of the illuminating light used in a vision system is presented. The intensity of each of a plurality of illuminating light colors is allowed to be independently adjusted to adapt the illumination light based on the color of a part feature against the part feature background of a part being viewed by the vision system to produce high contrast between the part feature and background. Automated contrast optimization may be achieved by stepping through all available color combinations and evaluating the contrast between the part feature and background to select a color combination having a “best” or acceptable contrast level. Alternatively, contrast optimization may be achieved by performing a “smart” search in which a high contrast coarse illumination light is first selected, and then all available color combinations within range of the selected coarse illumination color are stepped through to select a fine illumination color resulting in optimal contrast.

Inventors:

Anthony P. Bonito - Davie FL, US
Perry H. Pierce - Fort Collins CO, US

International Classification:

A47B 96/06
B62D 63/04

US Classification:

2482051, 296 107

Abstract:

A golf car employs a mounting system to attach a display device to the golf car housing such that the display device is movable so as to facilitate viewing of a display screen of the display device by a user whether the user is located inside or outside the golf car. In one embodiment, the mounting system includes a rigid base member, a swivel member and at least one extension member. The swivel member mechanically connects the display device to the rigid base member and facilitates rotation of the display device about a vertical axis in a range of 0 to about 360 degrees relative to an initial position of the display device. The extension member is connected to the rigid base member and facilitates upward and downward movement of the display device distally from at least one point of attachment of the mounting system to the golf car housing.

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

H02B 102

US Classification:

361412

Abstract:

Interlocking hinges are attached to printed circuit boards and coupled together to form a stack of printed circuit boards. Access to each board is possible by rotating the stack at a selected hinge to expose a selected board. A projection and an opening on each hinge mate with openings and projections on other hinges to allow easy removal or addition of a board from the stack when the hinges are in one relative position, but to create an interference fit in a second relative position, thereby causing the hinges to lock together and form a rigid structure.
