Title: Solid electrolytic capacitor for inverted mounting or embedding in/on a PCB
Inventor: ZEDNICEK STANISLAV
IPC: H01G2/06
Filed: 2009-06-09
Abstract: The electrolytic capacitor 30 is configured to be embedded upside down into a circuit board. The electrolytic capacitor 30 contains a capacitor element 33, anode and cathode terminations 62, 72, and a case 28 that encapsulates the capacitor element and leaves at least a portion 89, 95 of the anode and cathode terminations exposed and extending outwardly from opposite ends of the case. Each of the terminations possesses an upper surface 83, 93 that faces toward the upper surface 37 of the capacitor element and a lower surface that faces away. In contrast to conventional surface-mounted electrolytic capacitors, the upper surfaces of these exposed anode and cathode termination portions are mounted to the circuit board. In this manner, the capacitor may essentially be mounted "upside down" (fig 2) so that some or all of its thickness becomes embedded within the board itself, thereby minimizing the height profile of the capacitor on the board.

Title: Apparatus for producing a check number
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1963-03-15
Abstract: 1,000,336. Calculating check digits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. March 15, 1963 [March 15, 1962], No. 10376/63. Heading G4A. An apparatus for producing check numbers includes a staticizer, successive outputs of which are shifted cyclically through increasing numbers of steps and fed to independent counters which sum the " one " bits, ignoring carries. In one form, successive serial decimal digits or words are each converted to four parallel binary bits, and fed to a shift register SR which shifts the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, &c. cyclically to the right through 0, 1, 2 &c. steps. Each output of the shift register is fed to a counter which sums the bits received mod 10 (i.e. carry is ignored). One bit input of the shift register may be controlled by a parity checking device which ensures that the parity of each word is even. In a further modification a parity bit for each word is produced and added to the counter which received the first bit for that word. In another modification (Fig. 8, not shown), the shift register has four pairs of inputs, the inputs of the pairs being a different number of steps apart, each input of a pair being equal to the corresponding input in the first embodiment. The shift register shifts through eight cyclic steps in this case and feeds eight counters. In a further modified apparatus (Fig. 4) suitable for checking manual entry of information, depression of ten keys t 0 -t 1  energizes corresponding ones of four outputs of diode network in binary fashion to step counters Z 1 -Z 4 , which are connected through shift contacts F5-F8, G5-G8, H5-H8 of relays F, G and H. The contacts constitute a shift device and cyclically shift the network output relative to the counters as the depressed key returns to its original position. The check members are first determined at a preparation desk and then fed, together with the data into a data processing or transmitting system; the check numbers are determined once more and compared with those that have been entered.
