Jan 16, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/051940

Inventors:

Darin P. Smedberg - Petaluma CA

Assignee:

Calix Networks, Inc. - Petaluma CA

International Classification:

H01R 1358

US Classification:

439468, 439299, 439578

Abstract:

In accordance with this invention, an angled female SMB plug includes a first tubular main body and a tubular wire exit extending approximately 45 degrees from the main body. The main body is chamfered at one end to produce a flat end surface that is approximately parallel with the wire exit. The outer diameter of the main body is approximately 89 percent of a pitch between adjacently mounted plugs and the outer diameter of the wire exit is approximately 59 percent of the same pitch.

Abstract:

A large size display is transportable, being construed of multiple rigid segments containing light emitting diodes (LED's). The rigid segments are linked by hinges or cables so the display is flexible and can be rolled up for storage and transport. The display can be unrolled upward or downwards such as from a protective container, such as a canister or truss. The weight of the display on the linked hinges or the tensioned cables provides sufficient rigidity. Such cables, like a signal and power distribution bus, are connected to the rear of each rigid element. The display can be repaired by removing and replacing selected rigid segments from the front thereof.

Darin P. Smedberg - Petaluma CA

Assignee:

Calix Networks, Inc. - Petaluma CA

International Classification:

H05K 720

US Classification:

361703, 2989003, 24458, 257719, 361719

Abstract:

A heat sink extends beyond the outer boundaries of a component cooled by the heat sink. In one embodiment, the heat sink may have a cutout shaped and located so that a protruding portion of a clip can extend through the cutout from one surface of the heat sink and mechanically fasten the component to another surface of the heat sink. There may be more than one cutout. Heat transfer values can be optimized by adjusting the number and the location of the cutouts and the size of the heat sink relative to the component and the fastening mechanism (e. g. , a clip). In another embodiment, the clip that extends through the cutout holds the heat sink against a motherboard, pressing against a component located between the heat sink and the motherboard.

Abstract:

Features relating to a laser etching and/or tag writing machine are provided. The machine may include a tray assembly including a tray and a nest. The tray may hold an array of vaporizer cartridges. The tray may allow for a laser-etching operation to be performed by the machine on at least one or two sides of the vaporizer cartridges held by the tray. The tray may allow for the array of vaporizer cartridges to be rotated at the same time between laser etching operations. The tray may additionally and/or alternatively allow for the machine, such as via an antenna, to write data to an NFC tag of a corresponding vaporizer cartridge before, during, and/or after each laser etching operation.

Abstract:

An illumination apparatus is described that includes a set of illumination components. The illumination apparatus also includes a housing structure having an overall width and an overall length. The housing structure includes a cavity to house the set of illumination components, which is defined by, at least, a first lateral wall of the housing structure and a second lateral wall of the housing structure that each extends along the overall length, and a base of the housing structure. The housing structure includes a set of openings on the base, where each opening extends from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall.
