  • Publication number: 20020170868
    Abstract: A condiment table organizer accommodates single serving condiments, such as creamer, butter, etc. The organizer includes a base and a vertical post extending from the base. A circular condiment carousel is attached to the post at a position above the base. The carousel has a plurality of open-sided circular condiment receptacles defined in its outer periphery, each sized to accommodate an individual serving condiment. A pair of side baskets are attached to either side of the base. They are horizontally displaced from the base by a distance at least equal to the radius of the carousel so as to not interfere with the loading or removal of the condiments held by the carousel. A display card holder may also be attached to the post above the carousel. A second condiment carousel may be included on the post above the first carousel to hold additional or different condiments.

  • Patent number: 5449855
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to the production of maize, commonly known in the United States as corn, and more specifically to hybrid corn plants with certain advantageous phenotypes resulting from interactions of the haploid genetic contributions of inbred parental lines. This invention relates to the hybrid genetic complement, the expression of which produces these phenotypes and to the complement as housed in seeds and tissues, in particular, those capable of producing or regenerating the hybrid plants either in vivo or in vitro. An aspect of this invention, hybrid DK743, is characterized by many advantageous phenotypic traits including superior yield and staygreen. It has characteristic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and isozyme profiles.

  • Patent number: 4862189
    Abstract: A microwave balun transformer provides an extension of operating frequency range particularly in conjunction with a cavity-backed spiral antenna (5). The balun cavity (13) has a dipole (15,17) extending between an unbalanced coax port (19) and an opposite end wall (29), the dipole junction (16) being connected to a balanced twin line (7). The length of the cavity is effectively controlled to make it closer to (two) quarter-wave stubs by inserting a frequency dependent reflector (21) at each end of the dipole. At low frequencies the reflectors are transparent thus giving the full length of the cavity, while at high frequencies the reflectors reflect and effectively shorten the cavity.

  • Patent number: 4833485
    Abstract: A close-packed divergent array of cavity-backed antennas for use in the radome of a missile. Each antenna cavity is tapered from its radiating face towards its base so that the antennas can be mounted more closely together while their radiating faces maintain conformity with the streamlined surface. The array can thus be moved farther into the apex of the radome with a consequent reduction of the antenna divergence angle and greater sensitivity in the boresight region.

  • Patent number: 4639058
    Abstract: An improved electrical clip-like connector having a low profile and being capable of connecting the conductors of an electrical cable with the leads of an integrated circuit package or the like, employs reinforcing shrouds to prevent breakage of gripping teeth and improper installation of the connector. Provision also is made for convenient and secure attachment of an external ground and for good electrical connection between contacts of the connector and the leads of the integrated circuit package that might have an oxide film on their surface. A further feature of the invention provides a less stiff and easier to use handle for installing and removing the clip whereas a still further feature of the invention provides for reinforcement of relatively wide clip bodies in the proximity of contact supporting walls.

  • Patent number: 4621886
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a pair of opposed plastic strain relief bodies having opposed cable end portions forming therebetween at opposed inner surfaces a laterally elongate narrow slot of a width sufficient to accommodate the width of a ribbon cable. The connector also includes relatively rigid elongate reinforcing members such as metal bars which outwardly engage the cable end portions of the strain relief bodies and clamp such cable end portions together. The metal bars are held in clamping relationship by fasteners at the ends thereof extending laterally beyond respective ends of the narrow slot. Each metal bar engages an outwardly facing surface of the cable end portion of the respective strain relief body over substantially the full width of the slot thereby to prevent or minimize bowing of the cable end portions upon flexing of the cable relative to the strain relief bodies.

  • Patent number: 4547028
    Abstract: The present invention is an electrical clip-like connector that has a low profile and is capable of connecting the conductors of an electrical cable, for example, with the leads of an integrated circuit package or the like. Due to the low profile configuration of the invention, it may be used in situ in confined environments, and it also may be used for coupling relatively high speed signals without or with minimum antenna effect. Other features of the invention include a locating mechanism that facilitates applying the clip connector to an integrated circuit assuring proper alignment of the contacts and leads and a preferred contact/support arrangement to help assure good electrical connection with the integrated circuit leads and tolerance for size and location errors while avoiding overstress damage to the contacts.
