Patent number: 9202734Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a gantry module, having an end effector, for moving workpieces from a conveyor system to a working area, such as a swap module. The swap module removes a matrix of processed workpieces from a load lock and place a matrix of unprocessed workpieces in its place.

To remove this built up charge, grounded electrically-conductive brushes are strategically positioned so that, as the end effector moves during normal operation, it comes in contact with these brushes. This removes this built up charge on the end effector, without affecting throughput. In another embodiment, the end effector moves over the brushes while the swap module is moving matrix to and from the load lock.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc.Inventors: Jason Schaller, Robert Brent Vopat

When the HDMI connector is inserted through the passageway, the resilient prongs are adapted to urge against top, bottom, and two side surfaces of the shell of the HDMI connector in such a manner to prevent the gasket from disengaging from the HDMI connector. The plurality of resilient fingers extend outward and beyond the top, bottom, and two side surfaces of the shell of the HDMI connector and are adapted to urge against a surface of a faceplate. The plurality of fingers and prongs of the gasket provide a direct grounding path between surfaces of the shell of the HDMI connector and surface of the faceplate.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Creston Electronics Inc.Inventors: Wendy Feldstein, Gregory Sorrentino, Krunoslav Dragonanovic

Publication number: 20140000954Abstract: A shield terminal includes a braided part crimping member. The shield terminal is connected to a coaxial cable including a core wire, an insulator covering an outer periphery of the core wire, a braided part covering an outer periphery of the insulator and an outer jacket covering an outer periphery of the braided part. The braided part crimping member is crimped with and encloses a braided part exposing portion which is formed by removing the outer jacket to expose the braided part. A wall part of the braided part crimping member which comes into direct contact with the braided part is formed with a round hole so that a part of the braided part enters the round hole in a state where the braided part crimping part is crimped with the braided part exposing portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Shouichi Furukawa
