  • Publication number: 20160006160
    Abstract: A sealed insert molded connector and method of sealing the same includes one or more inserts molded into a housing so that at least one portion of the insert extends through the housing. A bonding region is formed at the point where the insert extends through the housing. The conformal coating or sealing material is applied to the bonding region where the molded housing forms the insert creating a moisture resistant seal between the housing and the insert. The viscosity of the sealing material is chosen so that the sealing material exhibits minimum travel under the influence of gravity. A collar forming a moat or well around the bonding agent may be formed.

  • Patent number: 7521903
    Abstract: An integrated circuit for controlling an alternator circuit in an alternator regulator charging system. The integrated circuit includes a first circuit for performing core regulation functions; a second circuit having a mask selectable operation circuit that allows the integrated circuit to select an operational mode thereof, the mode being selectable from one of a stand-alone mode, a remote controlled mode wherein the first circuit is controlled by an external circuit, and a combination of the stand-alone mode and the remote controlled mode; and a third circuit having an output driver circuit for controlling a field winding of the alternator circuit.

  • Patent number: 5843488
    Abstract: A device for positioning in a mold table of a tabletting machine, in particular a rotary tabletting machine with facon molds that have molding cavities and form a circular cylinder on an outer perimeter. Each facon mold has at least one centering area associated with the molding cavity and for each facon mold, a centering piece is movably mounted on the mold table to engage the centering area of the facon mold. The centering area in cooperation with the centering piece properly positions the facon mold to the upper ram of the tabletting machine.

  • Patent number: 5635223
    Abstract: A device for fixing the dies in the die table of a tabletting machine, especially of a rotary tabletting machine, using die holders. To make it possible to rapidly remove the old dies and to rapidly fix the new dies during the replacement of the dies for cleaning the machine, the die holders are arranged between the rotor axis and the pitch circle of the dies, and structure is provided for jointly moving the die holders on the die table.
