US Classification:

134 18, 134137, 15345, 15 211, 134 32, 41422201

Abstract:

A system including a shuttle movable along a shuttle path, the shuttle being operable to support a sheet; a pick-up assembly including a yoke and a detection plate located above the shuttle path, the detection plate being freely supported by the yoke and movable in a vertical direction relative to the yoke with an upper limit and a lower limit defined by the yoke, wherein the yoke is operable to pick and place the sheet, and wherein the detection plate is used to detect the presence of a piece of debris on a surface of the sheet or a surface of the shuttle; and a cleaning device located adjacent to the pick-up assembly and above the shuttle path, wherein the cleaning device is operable to remove the piece of debris located on the surface of the sheet or the surface of the shuttle.

International Classification:

H01R 1120

US Classification:

439436

Abstract:

A power connector for receipt and releasable engagement with a wire to effect a transmitting power electrical connection to the wire. The power connector includes a connector housing having a wire insertion side with an opening for receiving the wire. A spring contact is disposed within the housing and includes an attachment end for attaching the spring contact to the connector housing and a contact end for contact with the wire. The spring contact includes a substantially C-shaped segment extending between the attachment end and contact end. The C-shaped segment is dimensioned to be maintained under compression and so that the spring contact applies a contact force against an inserted wire at the contact end with a force sufficient for supporting the conducting of electricity between the wire and contact end. The C-shaped segment is further oriented so that when a lateral force is imparted to the C-shaped segment from the wire-insertion side of the housing, the contact force applied against the wire is reduced to thereby reduce the force required to disengage and remove the wire from the connector housing.

Appl. No.:

6/325329

Inventors:

James C. Coyne - New Providence NJ

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H05K 720

US Classification:

361386

Abstract:

Heat generated from electronic equipment packed densely on a circuit board is transferred to conductive partition plates located adjacent to and on opposite sides of the circuit board. Heat is then transferred from the partition plates to conductive shelves located above and below the partition plates and then to a conductive rear wall of a cabinet. Heat is then transferred through the rear wall to a plurality of external fins and then to the atmosphere by radiation and convection. Alternatively, the circuit boards are housed in sealed enclosures. A clamp, fastened to the rear wall of the cabinet, is used for securing the sealed enclosure and for transferring the heat from the electronic equipment to the rear wall.

International Classification:

G05G 100
F16F 1522
F16F 1510

US Classification:

74573F

Abstract:

Apparatus performs active, dynamic balancing of a rotating machine by shifting the spatial distribution of an inertial liquid within a body that co-rotates with the rotating shaft of the machine. The body includes chambers, substantially disposed at equal angular intervals, for containing the inertial liquid. The chambers communicate through a channel lying at or beyond the outermost radial position of the outward ends of the chambers. A motive element or elements are provided for impelling the inertial liquid through the channel. The chambers, channel, and motive elements form a sealable system.

US Classification:

Abstract:

An ocean plow device and accompanying method which incorporate a passive plow blade and a jetter tool working in conjunction with one another to lower drawbar and increase cable deployment speeds. In order to avoid cavitation due to sand dilation, in one embodiment of the plow device, the jetter tool includes nozzles oriented in a downward and backward direction relative to the plow device which creates a flow pattern to turbulently remove surface soil in front of the jetter tool in a rapid manner. The jetter tool is pivotally suspended from a point in front of the passive plow blade, such that the jetter will be free to find its own equilibrium position. That is, the pivotal mounting enables the jetter tool to rotate upward in harder soils and become fully extended in softer soils in order to reach the equilibrium position. The passive plow blade behind the jetter tool provides a constant burial depth for the cable and also provides protection from side loads encountered during deployment. By utilizing the jetter tool, the present invention avoids forces due to the effect of pore water by creating a slurry through the mixing of high flow rate water with sand, and forming a trench in which the passive tool can follow.
