  • Patent number: 6064864
    Abstract: The present invention provides an antenna interlock system comprising an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing has first and second interlock tabs disposed along its interior wall, which correspond to third and fourth interlock tabs disposed along the interior wall of the lower housing, the interlock tabs each having an aperture shaped to closely receive the antenna unit. The interlock tabs are disposed relative to each other such that when the upper and lower housings are assembled together, the apertures in the interlock tabs together define a pathway for receiving the antenna unit, and such that when the antenna unit is inserted through the antenna opening and into the receiving apertures, the antenna unit and the interlock tabs hold the upper and lower housing together.

  • Patent number: 5467525
    Abstract: A pick and place machine (30) having morphing vacuum tip (10) comprises a chamber (24) having a sealed first port (25), a filter (22) on a second port (27), and a vacuum (12) on a third port (23), a needle (28) pierced through the sealed first port and through the filter on the second port, wherein a vacuum (14) is placed on the portion of the needle piercing through the sealed first port. Finally, the morphing vacuum tip additionally comprises a non-porous bag (18) having a plurality of fine particles (16) within the bag and an external portion of the bag surrounding a periphery of a portion of the needle pierced through the filter on the second port, the non-porous bag having an open portion being exposed to an external side of the filter on the second port of the chamber, wherein the vacuum on the third port sucks air out of the non-porous bag and the filter prevents the plurality of fine particles from entering the chamber.

  • Patent number: 5280225
    Abstract: An apparatus for multi-axis rotational motion includes a spherical structure (102) and a housing (104), the housing (104) at least partially enclosing the spherical structure (102) and movably coupled thereto. Magnetically compliant poles (106, 107, 108, 109) are mechanically coupled to one of the spherical structure (102) and the housing (104), and a magnetic drive mechanism (114) is mechanicanically coupled to the other one of the spherical structure (102) and the housing (104) for magnetically imparting up to substantially 360 degrees of rotational motion between the spherical structure (102) and the housing (104) in multiple axes by magnetically interacting with the magnetically compliant poles (106, 107, 108, 109). Optionally, at least one of the spherical structure (102) and the housing (104) couples the rotational motion to another object (1906) mechanically coupled thereto via surface coupling.
