Publication number: 20190166702Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for securing a printed circuit board without the use of screws in a housing assembly comprising a bottom housing made of plastic and a top housing made of metal. The top housing comprises a plurality of ribs. The bottom housing comprises a plurality of flexible snap arms each having a head portion, which includes an angled lower face, a horizontal crush rib, and a vertical crush rib. Upon coupling of the assembly, the ribs exert a horizontal force on the flexible snap arms resulting in climbing of the angled lower face further onto the printed circuit board. The horizontal force may also crush the horizontal crush ribs allowing for increased flexibility between the components to adjust for interference, preventing potential damage to the printed circuit board. Vertical forces may also crush the vertical crush ribs allowing for increased flexibility between the components.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: May 30, 2019Applicant: Flextronics AP, LLCInventors: Darren VAN ROON, Gary WARREN, Steven STEANE

Patent number: 10018306Abstract: A gas system includes a container, a fitting, a gas tube, adsorbent, and a filter. The container stores gas under pressure. The fitting covers an opening of the container and maintains a seal with the opening of the container. The gas tube is inserted through a bore in the fitting such that a length of a portion of the gas tube inside of the container is at least one half of a length of the container. The portion of the gas tube in the container includes holes. The adsorbent is in a particulate form and adsorbs gas in the container. The filter covers the holes in the portion of the gas tube in the container. The filter permits passage of gas into and out of the gas tube and prevents passage of the adsorbent into the gas tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Cenergy Solutions Inc.Inventors: Gary Warren Fanger, Aaron M.

Publication number: 20180053922Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for securing a battery in an enclosure with some degree of flexibility between the components to adjust for variations in size of the components. A battery holder assembly comprises a first housing component, a second housing component, and a battery. The first component includes a battery receptacle, comprising a plurality of flexible arms to surround a battery. The second component comprises a plurality of crush ribs having a solid support, that will wedge in-between the second housing component wall and the flexible arms, and that have a specially designed protrusion that is “crushable.” The flexible arms, which are in contact with the battery are wide enough to spread out the force, so as not to damage the battery, while the crush ribs will dig only into the plastic to arrest the battery's vibration while compensating for the remaining tolerance or variation between components.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2017Publication date: February 22, 2018Applicant: Flextronics AP, LLCInventors: Darren VAN ROON, Gary WARREN, Steven STEANE

Publication number: 20170192340Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing components of a front half camera module subassembly is described herein. The camera may be used in an automotive camera, which includes but is not limited to automotive rear-view cameras. A glue bead seal may be applied to the front half camera housing to which a camera lens may be attached. Then a glue bead seal may be applied to the other side of the front half camera housing to which a printed circuit board (PCB) is attached. As a result, the seals protect the lens inside optical surface and image sensor located between the camera lens and PCB from the outside environment. The lens inside optical surface and image sensor and PCB may be tested, calibrated, or have other assembly sequences completed outside of a clean room. Alignment of the PCB and lens inside optical surface and image sensor is also secured.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2015Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicant: FLEXTRONICS AP, LLCInventors: Gary Warren, Darren Van Roon, Reginald C.

Publication number: 20160356425Abstract: An adsorbence-based gas storage system includes a pressure vessel containing a granular gas adsorbent material, for example, an activated carbon or a metal-organic framework. The system may be configured to store natural gas or methanol. The pressure vessel includes a pressure release device, and an inlet/outlet valve for passage of gas into and out of the pressure vessel. A microwave or RF generator is configured to selectively heat the adsorbent material. In one embodiment the generator is connected to the pressure vessel through one or more waveguides, and at one or more locations along the pressure vessel. A sensor, for example, a temperature sensor, monitors the temperature in the pressure vessel. A computing device uses the sensor data to control the generator to selectively heat the adsorbent material.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Cenergy SolutionsInventors: Gary Warren Fanger, Aaron M.
