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.

Inventors:

Pierre-Emmanuel Cavarec - San Diego CA, US
Timothy Morrison - Oceanside CA, US
Eric W. Hauck - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Somfy SAS - Cluses

International Classification:

H02K007/00

US Classification:

318 9

Abstract:

A metal or plastic tube is formed with slots to establish a noise dampening coupling to isolate the head rail of a window covering from vibrations from a motor in the head rail. The noise dampening coupling can be coupled to the output gear of the motor and to an actuator in the head rail to couple the motor to the actuator while isolating the head rail from vibrations. Also, a non-rotatable noise dampening coupling can be interposed between the motor and head rail to further isolate the head rail from vibrations.

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.

Assignee:

Summatec Computer Corporation - Vista CA

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.

Assignee:

Pulse Engineering, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

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.
