Introduction

Walter J. Belmore is an inventor associated with Houston, Texas, and Compaq Information Technologies Group, L.P. His listed patent concerns a system for testing multiple PCI expansion boards.

Latest Patents

Belmore’s listed patent is “Multiboard Run-In Tester for PCI Expansions.” The system bridges multiple PCI bus connections to boards under test and monitors whether each connection has power, controlling the corresponding boards accordingly. Its test-bed subboards can hold multiple boards in high-insertion-force sockets. Independent power control allows boards on one subboard to be switched off and replaced while boards on another continue testing. A movable extractor mechanism can be positioned at each socket to remove a board linearly, without applying torque. Belmore is credited with 1 patent.
