Appl. No.:

09/773134

Inventors:

Timothy J. Morrison - Oceanside CA
Aurelio J. Gutierrez - Bonita CA
Thomas Rascon - Temecula CA

Assignee:

Pulse Engineering, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H01F 2729

US Classification:

336192, 336 90, 336 96, 336 92

Abstract:

A device for electrically interconnecting and packaging electronic components. A non-conducting base member having a component recess and a set of specially shaped lead channels formed therein is provided. At least one electronic component is disposed within the recess, and the conductors of the component are routed through the lead channels. A set of insertable lead terminals, adapted to cooperate with the specially shaped lead channels, are received and captured within the lead channels, thereby forming an electrical connection between the lead terminals and the conductors of the electronic component(s). A method of fabricating the device is also disclosed.

Assignee:

Free Flow Products, LLC - Oceanside CA

International Classification:

F16K 21/06

US Classification:

1375276, 137514, 13731516, 43 66

Abstract:

A check valve for deterring intrusion into drain pipes comprises a body member having at least a first orifice and configured to mount on a drain pipe wherein the drain pipe is adapted to promote fluid flow in a single direction. Pivotably mounted on said body member will be a valve member. The mounting arrangement will provide a closed position that substantially occludes the first orifice and a range of open positions when the valve member is pivoted to open in the flow direction. In addition, at least one additional orifice is provided in either the body member or the valve member to permit fluid flow irrespective of the position of the valve member.

US Classification:

215364, 220801, 2202561

Abstract:

A bottle cap assembly includes a stopper and an over-cap removably coupled to a bottle. The stopper includes a cork fitted to a stopper cap with a snap-in retention ring so as to avoid the need to use any glue. The over-cap includes downwardly extending prongs, each having medial tab that releasably locks the over-cap to the stopper cap and bottle. The prongs releasably catch a ledge defined by the stopper. An inner sleeve of the over-cap conforms to an outer surface of a top portion of the bottle.

International Classification:

G06F 116
H05K 714

US Classification:

361685

Abstract:

An apparatus for holding a portable hard disk drive in a desk-top personal computer (PC) has a bay that fits into the 3. 5" form-factor cavity which is formed in most IBM. RTM. -compatible PCs. The portable hard disk drive is disposed in a protective sleeve. A motor-driven carriage is reciprocably positioned within the bay, and the sleeve is advanced part way into the bay, until the carriage engages the sleeve. Then, the carriage automatically pulls the sleeve the rest of the way into the bay until the disk drive is operably engaged with the computer. When it is desired to eject the sleeve with disk drive, a button is pushed to cause the carriage to push the sleeve out of the bay, perhaps after a short delay time period to allow the disk drive to spin down prior to ejection. An external docking station and laptop computer adaptor are also disclosed.

H01F 500
H01F 2729

US Classification:

336200

Abstract:

A monolithic inductor comprises an elongated substrate having opposite distal ends and, each end having an end cap extending radially from the respective end to support the substrate in spaced relation from a PC board, each end cap having a plurality of intersecting planar surfaces defining corners, an electrically conductive layer forming a winding on the substrate and extending between the opposite ends to provide a winding, and an electrically conductive soldering pad extending partially around at least some of the corners of said end caps at each end of the substrate in electrical contact with the conductive layer, each soldering pad providing a terminal on each of the intersecting planar surfaces.

Abstract:

Methods, systems and devices for a check valve for deterring intrusion into downspouts include a body member having at least a first orifice and are configured to mount on a downspout, where the downspout is adapted to promote fluid flow in a single direction. Pivotably mounted on the body members are various valve members. The mounting arrangement can provide a closed position that substantially occludes the first orifice and a range of open positions when the valve member is pivoted with respect to the body member to open in the flow direction. In addition, at least one additional orifice can be provided in either the body member or the valve member to permit fluid flow irrespective of the position of the valve member.
