FICT
In the manufacture of electronic printed circuit boards, flying probes are used for testing both bare circuit boards and boards loaded with components. Flying probes were introduced in the late 1980’s. Flying probes can be found in many manufacturing and assembly operations. A flying probe tester uses one or more test probes to make contact with the circuit board under test; the probes are moved from place to place on the circuit board to carry out tests of multiple conductors or components. Flying probe testers are an alternative to bed of nails testers, which use multiple contacts to simultaneously contact the board and which rely on electrical switching to carry out measurements. One limitation in flying probe test methods is the speed at which measurements can be taken; the probes must be moved to each new test site on the board, and then a measurement must be completed. Bed-of-nails testers touch each test point simultaneously and electronic switching of instruments between ...

Florence Craye
Lady Florence Craye is a recurring fictional character who appears in P. G. Wodehouse's comedic Jeeves stories and novels. An intellectual and imperious young woman, she is an author who gets engaged at different times to various characters, each failing to perform a difficult task for her or to meet her high standards. She is one of the women to whom the hapless Bertie Wooster repeatedly finds himself reluctantly engaged, a situation from which he must be rescued by Jeeves. Prototype An early version of Florence Craye appears in the Reggie Pepper story " Disentangling Old Percy" (1912), in which Florence has the same domineering personality.
