Abstract: Design and method of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) clamping at the edge by using the friction between clamp and PCB edge is disclosed. Method provides non-screw PCB engaging and disengaging. Applicable for the manual and machine PCB service.

Abstract: A design and method to keep the iron tip clean by submerging in molten solder with no oxidation and dross is described. Wool submerged in the molten solder and by cone-hole reservoir provide extra protection of the tip. Molten solder has protected from the oxidation by the antioxidant applied over the molten solder and by keeping the solder temperature close to the crystallization temperature and by having the crystallized solder layer above the molten solder. Further improving the tip surface is made possible by the electrolyses provided by current running through the molten solder and the iron tip. Iron battery charging circuit through the molten solder and magnetic connector-holder is described.

Abstract: A subsea data and power transmission apparatus includes primary and secondary open magnetic circuits with coils for wireless data and power transfer between a drilling tool and a drilling rig. The primary magnetic circuit is U-shaped and the secondary is O-shaped. Both magnetic systems are electrically insulated. The electrical signal and power are transferred from one magnetic circuit to another through an air or water gap between the magnetic circuits. The U-shaped and O-shaped magnetic circuits allow communication and power transfer remotely with no mechanical or electrical connectors.
