Abstract: Foreign object damage (FOD) screen assemblies and gas turbine engine compartments having FOD screen assemblies are provided. FOD screen assemblies provided herein are formed of materials that reduce the overall weight of the assembly such that easier handling and repair of the FOD screen assembly may be achieved. Further, the FOD screen assemblies provided herein include features that provide for a secure attachment of one or more mesh members to frame members of the assembly. The one or more mesh members are secured to the frame members in such a way that minimal stress is placed on the mesh member at the attachment points.

Abstract: A railroad tie plate has a generally prismatic body including a field side flange and a gauge side flange connected by an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion includes a rail seat for positioning a railroad rail. At least one of the flanges includes a protrusion extending in a thickness dimension of the tie plate. A hole extends into the at least one protrusion so as to receive a retaining device, such as an e-clip. The tie plate is made by hot forging, having a microstructure comprising pearlite and alpha-ferrite. The net shape of the tie plate may be achieved by forging without subsequent material addition and without subsequent material removal.

Abstract: A system for automated tonal balancing, comprising a rectification server that groups and processes images for use in tone-matching and provides them to a tone-matching server, that then performs tone-matching operations on the images and provides them as output for review or storage, and methods for tonal balancing using the system of the invention.

Abstract: A laminated construct such as a ticket or game piece includes an internal on-demand thermally printable layer hidden between substantially opaque substrates. One of the substrates is a metallized film and the other substrate is a direct thermal print medium. The construct can be arranged in various ways including an arrangement for presenting some thermally printed information for immediate viewing and other thermally printed information that is temporarily hidden from view beneath the metallized film. The arrangements include arranging the metallized film as a plurality of island that are individually peelable apart from the direct thermal print medium for revealing the temporarily hidden information.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector and a socket connector. The plug connector includes a housing, and the housing has a connection bar and a mounting surface. The connection bar has a button portion, a support portion, a pair of support portions and a joint portion, wherein the pair of support portions are rotatably connected with the mounting surface to form a pivot axis. The button portion and the joint portion are located at two opposite ends of the connection bar to enable the connection bar to be pivoted relative to the mounting surface, and the mounting surface is an outer surface of the housing. The socket connector includes a coupling portion to receive the joint portion of the connection bar.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector and a socket connector. The plug connector includes an insulator body, a first shielding housing and a shielding member, wherein the first shielding housing encloses the insulator body, the shielding member has first contact portions and second contact portions, and the first contact portions are electrically connected with the first shielding housing. The socket connector is configured to be electrically connected with the plug connector, and the socket connector has a second shielding housing configured to be electrically connected with the second contact portions.

Abstract: A high density connector structure for transmitting high frequency signals having a first sub-assembly, a second sub-assembly, a shield plate, and a shield shell is disclosed. The first sub-assembly has a plurality of first contacts held in a first insulator, and the second sub-assembly has a plurality of second contacts held in a second insulator. The shield plate is positioned between the first and second contacts. At least one resilient arm extends from said shield plate and contacts at least one of the first contacts of the first sub-assembly. The shield shell at least partially surrounds the periphery of the first and second sub-assemblies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a card edge connector including an insulating body, a first fixing part, a second fixing part and a plurality of terminals. The terminals are respectively fixing on the first fixing part and the second fixing part in an insert molding manner. The first fixing part and the second fixing part are received and arranged in the insulating body. The first fixing part and the second fixing part respectively has at least one hook. At least one insertion slot is inwardly formed in the insulating body at a position corresponding to the hook; and the hooks are respectively pushed and fastened inwards towards the insertion slots, so that the first fixing part and the second fixing part are assembled and located on the insulating body.

Abstract: A card edge connector is provided, including an insulating body, a plurality of terminals and a pair of ear clips. The plurality of terminals and the ear clips are received and arranged in the insulating body. Each terminal comprises a fixed part, with a contact part formed by extending from one end of the fixed part, and a welding part formed by extending from another end of the fixed part. An extending part is arranged between the fixed part and the contact part, and at least one coupling protrusion is arranged outwards on the fixed part in a protruding way. The coupling protrusion is in interference fit with the insulating body, and the impedance value of each terminal is adjusted by changing the appearance and size of the coupling protrusion, where an optimal area of one of the coupling protrusions is 0.3 mm*0.7 mm.

Abstract: Resealable multi-ply labels are made from webs along an inline press that include a base label ply and an overlaminate for capturing onserts between them. The base label plies carry an adhesive layer on the bottom surface for mounting the resealable multi-ply labels to articles. The base plies each include a hinge area, an attachment area, a tab area, and an intermediate area separating the hinge area from the attachment area. The overlaminates form permanent bonds with both the hinge areas and the tab areas of the base plies and form reusable bonds with the attachment areas of the base plies. The permanently bonded tab areas of the base plies provide access for releasing the overlaminates from the attachment areas of the base plies and exposing the onserts.
