Abstract: An electrical connector (10) is provided for surface mounting along an edge (14) of a circuit board (16) in an edge straddling configuration. The circuit board has a plurality of contact pads (18, 38) spaced along opposite faces (16a, 16b) of the board near the edge thereof. The connector includes a dielectric housing (20) and a plurality of terminals mounted on the housing with solder tails (32, 34) projecting from the housing generally in two rows to define an elongate board-receiving mouth (36) for receiving the edge of the circuit board. The contact pads are adapted to receive soft solder paste (19, 39) thereon prior to insertion of the board into the mouth between the two rows of solder tails. The solder tails of the terminals are configured for receiving the circuit board at a first angular orientation wherein minimal contact force is effected between the solder tails and the contact pads to prevent any substantial wiping away of the solder paste from the contact pads and a second angular orientation wherein substantial contact force is effected between the solder tails and the contact pads in a direction generally normal to the faces of the circuit board. Therefore, the solder paste remains in an interface area at each contact pad and its respective solder tail.

Abstract: A scroll machine designed to provide an unbalanced loading of the orbiting scroll and anti-rotation coupling in a direction which adds to the moment caused by contact forces between the scroll wraps during normal operation. The loading decreases the sound level of the machine and is achieved through the use of unbalanced flank gas leakage forces and flank contact forces, which are created by providing a targeted initial swing radius bias and/or a generating radius bias to either one or both of the scroll wraps. The generating radius biasing can be singular or plural on a given scroll wrap set. A number of different techniques for obtaining such biasing are disclosed.

Abstract: An autoclave 10 has a first vessel 12 in which objects are heated, and a second vessel 14 in which the objects are cooled down. A container 24 containing the objects is introduced via a preheating chamber 30 into a chamber 20, and thence into the cavity 16 of the vessel 12. Similarly, at the downstream end of the second vessel 14, a container is removed from a cavity 18 via a chamber 22. Transfer of containers is effected lock fashion to limit loss of pressure. When a container is thus removed and a fresh container is loaded, containers in the cavity 16 are advanced upwardly and containers in the cavity 18 are advanced downwardly. A container at the top of the cavity 16 is laterally displaced to the top of the cavity 18, via a chamber 19. The autoclave is thus operated continuously, stepwise. Pressures and temperatures are monitored via an interface 32 and a computer 34. Sterilization values for the objects are computed and advance of the containers are dependant on appropriate sterilization values being obtained.

Abstract: A folded cascode operational amplifier using an improved gain enhancement technique is described. The folded cascode includes an input section, a cascode current mirror section, and a cascode current section. A first fully-differential operational amplifier is coupled to the cascode current mirror section to provide improved gain enhancement thereto and a second fully-differential operational amplifier is coupled to the cascode current source section to provide improved gain enhancement thereto. The differential inputs of the first fully-differential operational amplifier are coupled to feedback nodes of the cascode current mirror section and the differential outputs of the first fully-differential operational amplifier are coupled to control nodes of the cascode current mirror section. The differential inputs of the second fully-differential operational amplifier are coupled to feedback nodes of the cascode current source section and the differential outputs of the second fully-differential operational amplifier are coupled to control nodes of the cascode current mirror section. Coupling the feedback nodes of both current sources to a single fully-differential operational amplifier increases the common mode noise rejection of the corresponding section.

Abstract: An instrumentation system includes a hand-held computer-based measuring meter (36) having a visual display (40) and a plurality of individual sensor modules (20, 34) that can be selectively coupled to the measuring meter for measuring one of a variety of parameters such as temperature, pressure, or the like. Each sensor module includes a sensor (22, 36) responsive to a particular stimulus, as well as a data memory (24, 38) for storing information about the sensor. When the sensor module is interconnected with the measuring meter, the measuring meter accesses the memory of the sensor module to input data corresponding to sensor type, an accuracy code, calibration point data, and a calibration date code. The measuring meter compares the calibration date code to the current date to determine whether the sensor module requires recalibration. The measuring meter uses the accuracy code data to determine the number of significant digits displayed by the visual display. The measuring meter uses the sensor type code and calibration points to calibrate the measuring meter relative to the sensor module and to select the algorithm used to compute the current value measured by the sensor module.

Abstract: Transversely spaced tying lugs (12) project from the base (10) for attachment to a tooth or tooth band. Lugs (12) include opposed extensions (13, 14) for orthodontic attachment purposes. Anterior lug surfaces (17) are interrupted by an archwire slot. A movable cover (21) slidably engages the anterior surface (17). Cover (21) spans the full width of the tying lugs (12) and has a perpendicular width greater than the width of the archwire slot across the anterior surface (17). The cover (21) is supported on the bracket by a pair of guides (22) that slidably engage opposed side surfaces (15) of the tying lugs (12). The closure can form a complete tube encircling an archwire (66) across the full width of the bracket when the cover (21) is in a closed position. The bracket lugs (12) and cover (21) can also be arranged obliquely across a base (10) to provide a tipping angle across the bracket. Bracket placement is facilitated by an encircling shield (80) or cap (87), including at least one protruding extension (85) to aid in aligning and locating the bracket on a supporting tooth surface.
