Abstract:

An earthquake resistant frame structure which is shippable in a fully populated condition has a base member, a plurality of support members extending from the base member, a top portion disposed over the ends of the support members, a extension member disposed over the top portion, side stiffeners positioned perpendicularly between the support members, and a tie down assembly system positioned between the base member and a flooring surface. The extension member has a platform section and at least two legs depending substantially perpendicularly therefrom that slidingly engage the support members. The two legs have slots therethrough configured to receive fasteners that, when secured to support members, secure and maintain the extension member in position. First and second panels protrude laterally from the frame structure to form an extension area, from which a bracket hingedly depends. A variety of pin arrangements are used to prevent the removal of the bracket from the hinge.

Abstract:

A method of use and apparatus for a quick connect coupling in a fluid system as disclosed herein. The quick connect coupling includes a female coupling assembly and a male coupling assembly. The female coupling assembly includes a female cone housing nestable with a female cone. At least one female flow hole is formed in each of the female cone housing and female cone. The male coupling assembly has a male cone housing nestable with a male cone. At least one male flow hole is formed in each of the male cone housing, and the male cone. The at least one female flow hole rotatably misaligns to seal in a manner that fluid is contained from leaking past the female coupling assembly. The at least one male flow hole rotatably misaligns to seal in a manner that fluid is contained from leaking past the male coupling assembly. The male coupling assembly is removably rotatably insertable into the female cone. The female coupling assembly and the male coupling assembly rotatably fluidly couple to create a fluid flow path through the quick connect coupling.

Appl. No.:

09/941810

Inventors:

Dennis R. Barringer - Wallkill NY
Budy D. Notohardjono - Poughkeepsie NY
Harold M. Toffler - Middlehope NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H05K 500

US Classification:

361756, 361727, 361802, 361686, 439377

Abstract:

An electronic printed board assembly comprises a printed circuit board which employs printed circuit card connectors electrically connected to components mounted on the board. The printed circuit board includes board level guides with slots for receiving correspondingly shaped ridges disposed on outer, lower portions of printed circuit card-bearing cartridges. The guides are preferably provided on only one side for each cartridge to improve packaging density. The surface guides, together with the cartridge design, eliminate the need for physical contact with surrounding enclosures or cabinets.

US Classification:

361807, 361683, 361684, 361740, 439 64, 439377

Abstract:

A printed circuit board employs a rigid toothed drive arm driven by an exterior spur gear to actuate a pair of levers pivotably attached to one end of the drive arm. Spur gear rotation moves the drive arm and variously moves the drive arm and levers into âYâ or âTâ configurations, and in doing so, pushes against exteriorly mounted cabinet or enclosure pins to effect inward and outward motion of the entire board, even when it is fully populated with printed circuit cards contained in cooperatively acting cartridges.
