Title: Corner connector for show case cabinet
Inventor: LATCHINIAN JIM
IPC: F16B12/00
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: Disclosed is a joint for connecting members including a first structural member having an abutment end, a connector adapted to fit at least partially within the first structural member, and a second structural member adapted to be mechanically but removably connected to the abutment end of the first structural member. The second structural member defines an exterior surface against which the abutment end of the first structural member is adapted to be placed. The second structural member defines means for inter-fitting engagement with the connector. The connector defines a means for inter-fitting engagement with the second structural member. The connector defines at least one means for receiving a camming member, which means for receiving is partially offset with respect to at least one corresponding means for receiving defined by the first structural member. When the camming member is disposed through the means for receiving defined by the first structural member and through the means for receiving defined by the connector, the abutment end of the first structural member is forced against the exterior surface of the second structural member by virtue of forces exerted by the means for camming through the connector, the means for inter-fitting engagement and the first and second structural members. The connector includes means for frictionally engaging the first structural member when the camming member is received within the at least one means for receiving. With the joint of the invention, the connecting members can be locked relative to one another against rotational, longitudinal and transverse movement by means of a very simple and unexposed locking assembly.

Title: Variable capacitor and associated fabrication method
Inventor: DHULER VIJAYAKUMAR RUDRAPPA
IPC: H01G5/18
Filed: 2000-11-28
Abstract: A variable capacitor having low loss and a correspondingly high Q is provided.  In addition to a substrate, the variable capacitor includes at least one substrate electrode and a substrate capacitor plate that are disposed upon the substrate and formed of a low electrical resistance material, such as HTS  material or a thick metal layer. The variable capacitor also includes a bimorph member extending outwardly from the substrate and over the at least one substrate electrode. The bimorph member includes first and second layers formed of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion. The first and second layers of the bimorph member define at least one bimorph electrode and a bimorph capacitor plate such that the establishment of a voltage differential between the substrate electrode and the bimorph electrode moves the bimorph member relative to the substrate electrode, thereby altering the interelectrode spacing as well as the distance between the capacitor plates. As such, the capacitance of the variable capacitor can be controlled based upon the relative spacing between the bimorph member and the underlying substrate. A method is also provided for micromachining or otherwise fabricating a variable capacitor having an electrode and a capacitor plate formed of a low electrical resistance material such that the resulting variable capacitor has low loss and a correspondingly high Q. The variable capacitor can therefore be employed in high frequency applications, such as required by some tunable filters.
