Patent EP-0792799-A2 (EP)
IPC: B64G1/22
Filed: 1994-12-30
Abstract: A satellite has two solar array panels which are moveable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The solar array panels are pivotably mounted on hinges attached along the top and bottom of the satellite and extend outwardly from the top and bottom of the satellite in the open configuration. The height of the perimeter sidewall is selected such that the satellite has a generally oblate configuration. Each solar array panel has a surface area substantially equal to that of the satellite cross-sectional area. The hinges are mounted on pintles extending from a solar array drive motor which rotates the solar panel about the axis defined by the pintles to provide one axis sun tracking. The solar array panels are pivoted about the axes of the hinges until substantially parallel to the top and bottom of the satellite to form a compact, stackable configuration of the satellite for stowage. Three couplers positioned along the perimeter wall couple the satellite to similarly configured satellites within the fairing of a launch vehicle. The coupled satellites form. a stack having three load-bearing columns consisting of the satellite couplers. In the stacked configuration, the couplers of one satellite are attached to the couplers of adjacent satellites by bolts restrained within non-explosive separation nuts. Pre-loaded compression springs extend between the couplers of adjacent satellites. After the stack of satellites separates from the fairing, each satellite is successively deployed from the stack, starting with the top-most satellite. Deployment begins by activating the non-explosive separation nuts in the couplers of the top-most satellite. Thereafter, the pre-loaded compression springs extending between the coupling devices of the top-most satellite and the subjacent satellite (or, for the bottom-most satellite, the subjacent booster stage) accelerate the top-most satellite away from the stack and booster stage.

Abstract: A fastener-driving tool includes a nosepiece (36) having an aperture (122), through which a fastener (20) can be axially driven. A shuttle (130) has a passageway (180) to receive the fastener (20) from a guide (100, 108), in a fastener-receiving position of the shuttle (130). A shuttle-moving mechanism (140) is used to move the shuttle (130) from the fastener-receiving position into a fastener-delivery position. A driving mechanism (52) enables the fastener (20) to be axially driven from the passageway (180), through the aperture (122), in the delivery position of the shuttle (130). A magnet (190) or a spring is used to retain the fastener (20) in a pre-driving position as shown. As a stand-up tool (Figure 1), the tool has a primary trigger (30) and a secondary trigger (60), which enables the primary trigger (30) to be remotely actuated.

Abstract: Integrated circuits are provided for protecting a device from high voltage signals,
such as caused by ESD, at an external pin (12) of a device on an integrated circuit. A first
circuit has a voltage reference terminal (24), and a pin resistor (13) connected in series with
the pin (12) and an input terminal (14) to a functional circuit. An SCR (30) has an anode,
cathode, anode-gate, and cathode-gate terminals. The anode of the SCR (30) is connected
to the input terminal, while the cathode of the SCR is connected to the voltage reference
terminal (24). A shunt resistor (19) connects across the anode and anode-gate of the
SCR (30), and an another shunt resistor (20) connects across the cathode and cathode-gate
of the SCR. A zener diode (22) is provided for setting a breakdown voltage of the SCR (30)
between its anode-gate and cathode-gate. This integrated circuit protects a device against
high voltages having a positive polarity, and also protects the device from ESD voltages
having a negative polarity by switching the anode connections with the cathode connections.
In operation, the SCR (30) triggers in response to a voltage at the pin (12) above the zener's
breakdown voltage, and the SCR automatically turns off when the voltage across the pin
resistor (13) has returned to within a hold voltage level that may be near or within the
operational range of signals at the pin.

Abstract: A multi-layered sheet product is provided which is useful as a release backing for
pressure sensitive adhesive labels or as a liner for foodstuff containers and trays. The
sheet product has a polymeric layer and a cellulosic layer laminated together and
having an adhesive layer therebetween. A substantially uniform silicone coating is
provided on a surface of the polymeric layer opposite the surface adhered to the
cellulosic layer. The polymeric layer surface having the silicone coating thereon
constitutes a smooth surface which, when the product is used as a release backing,
minimizes distortion of the adhesive surface of an adhesive label upon separation of
the label from the sheet product, an important feature for use with transparent labels.
When used as a release liner for foodstuff containers and trays, the polymeric layer
prevents absorption by the cellulosic layer of water from the foodstuff. Use of an
oriented polyester as the polymeric layer, provides excellent tear resistance,
dimensional stability and stiffness in an extremely thin laminated sheet product.
