Disclosed is a measuring apparatus in which electrical characteristics of electronic parts can be measured in a substantially reduced measurement time. The measuring apparatus includes a tray for mounting a plurality of the electronic parts, a measuring mechanism having a plurality of measuring terminals positioned in accordance with the respective positions of the electrodes in the plurality of electronic parts mounted on the tray, and a drive mechanism for moving the tray and the measuring mechanism relative to each other to thereby cause the respective electrodes of the electronic parts mounted on the tray engage the corresponding measuring terminals in the measuring mechanism.

Apparatus for measuring characteristics of electronic parts

A reproducing apparatus adapted to a video signal recording/reproducing apparatus for reproducing a video signal recorded on a record medium in the form of an L-channel/S-segment recording system. The record medium travelling speed in production, the output from comparators and the guard band width are adjusted so that writing of the video signal in a field memory is effected so as not to cause omission of any portion of the video signal. Four embodiments are disclosed.

Video signal recording/reproducing apparatus

Bump electrodes are formed on the bottom surface of an intermediate semiconductor wafer at locations corresponding to electrode pads of circuit elements formed on a subject semiconductor wafer. Pickup electrodes and control electrodes are formed on the top surface of the intermediate semiconductor wafer. A switching circuit is formed in the intermediate semiconductor wafer, and serves to connect selected ones of the bump electrodes to the pickup electrodes in accordance with switching control signals provided from a tester via the control electrodes. The pickup electrodes and the control electrodes are connected to the tester via pogo pins.

Semiconductor wafer testing apparatus using intermediate semiconductor

The specification discloses a recording and reproducing apparatus for dividing a video signal of one field into a plurality of segments and recording the video signal onto a plurality of tracks on a recording mediuim. By the recording and reproducing apparatus, an additional period is inserted between the adjoining segments. Further, the signal included in one of the adjoining segments is used as a signal of the additional period.

A characteristics corrector in a video signal processing system is described for correcting characteristics of the video signal processing system at the time of recording and/or reproducing a video signal. The corrector includes a reference pulse generating circuit for generating reference pulses of varying amplitude corresponding to gradations from a black level to a white level of a video signal to be recorded during a blanking period of the video signal to be recorded. It further includes a pulse amplitude data generating circuit for generating quantified data used for the discrimination of the amplitudes of the reference pulses. Also, a reference data interleaving circuit is included for interleaving, as a reference data, the reference pulses and pulse amplitude data indicative of the amplitudes thereof during the blanking period. Finally, a level correcting circuit is included for correcting the level of a reproduced video signal by the utilization of a plurality of reference pulses and pulse amplitude data obtained from the reproduced video signal.

Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus using a pilot signal control system is adapted such that a cue signal (51) is recorded in a cue track (50) provided besides a video signal track (52) when a magnetic tape (7) is temporarily stopped during the recording operation and is moved in the backward direction by a predetermined amount, and when the temporary stop is cancelled and the magnetic tape is moved in the forward direction, the cue signal (51) is reproduced and the recording operation is restarted responsive to the reproduced cue signal. Preferably, after cancellation of the temporary stop until restart of the recording operation, control is made such that coincidence of the frequency and phase of the reproduced pilot signal and those of a pilot signal to be recorded is established.

Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus in which recording is

A tape stop position detecting apparatus for a magnetic video reproducing apparatus in which four kinds of pilot signals (f.sub.1 to f.sub.4) recorded in a magnetic tape together with a video signal are reproduced from the magnetic tape comprises a comparing circuit (301), a region signal generating circuit (401) and a position signal generating circuit (402). The comparing circuit (301) compares the amounts of two signals (f.sub.1 and f.sub.3) to generate a comparison output (S9). The region signal generating circuit (401) operates in response to the comparison output (S9) to generate signals (O1 and O2) indicating in which region the stop position of the magnetic tape is located. The position signal generating circuit (402) operates in response to the comparison output (S9) and a head selecting signal (HSW) to generate a signal (O3) indicating the stop position of the magnetic tape. By the above described signals (O1 to O3), the stop position of the magnetic tape can be detected.

Tape stop position detecting apparatus and magnetic video reproducing

A magnetic video reproducing apparatus employing a well-known rotational two-head system, a helical scan system and an azimuth system comprises a position detecting means for detecting the positions of the two heads and a dropout detecting means for detecting a dropout of the reproduced signal output from the two heads. A time difference detecting circuit is provided for detecting a time difference between the output from the position detecting means and the output from the dropout detecting means. A time period converting circuit is also provided for converting the time difference detected output to an output signal of a time period associated with the time difference output. A driving circuit is provided for driving a capstan shaft driving motor. The time period converting circuit is adapted such that the time period of the output therefrom may cause the capstan shaft driving motor to be driven so that the dropout timing and hence a noise zone on the screen may coincide with the change over between the two heads, whereby a noise zone due to a dropout of the reproduced signal comes to the upper or lower end of the screen.
