Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved circuit board stiffeners. In one embodiment the present invention includes a circuit board stiffener comprising a lower stiffener piece having a first lower surface for abutting an upper surface of a test system and a first upper surface, and at least one upper stiffener piece having a second lower surface for abutting the first upper surface of the lower stiffener piece and a second upper surface for attaching to a circuit board.

Abstract: An electrode assembly includes an electrode electrically connected to a capacitor with a wire. An assembly carrier may be used to hold and secure at least the wire and capacitor during assembly. A method of assembly for attaching a wire to a capacitor and an electrode may include an assembly carrier for housing and securing the wire, capacitor, and electrode during assembly.

Abstract: The multi wired union box consists of two parts attached together. The first being container with a bottom, top, and sides. Each of the sides has a portal. The second being a metal conducting placed in the shape to allow unbroken contact to each side of the box. The ends of the conductor are bent upward. At the ends of the conductor the upward bent tabs have a flange cut into them which is bent back to form a blade pressure socket when the conductor is placed within the container. The conductor is set in the container. The conductor is placed within the container such that its flange socket lines up with a portal in the sides of the container. The portal in the side of the container and the bent back flange form a wire pressure socket such that when a wire striped of insulation is pushed through the portal in the side of the container it will make positive contact with the bent back flange and the bent back flange will hold the wire securely in place.

Abstract: A circuit substrate includes a first rigid substrate having a plurality of land portions located at a predetermined interval on one surface, a second rigid substrate having a plurality of second land portions located at a predetermined interval on one surface and a flexible wiring board sandwiched by the first and second rigid substrates and which has a plurality of third land portions corresponding to the first land portions on one surface and a plurality of fourth land portions corresponding to the second land portions on the other surface. In this circuit substrate, the second and fourth land portions are displaced from each other relative to the first and third land portions and at least part of the first and third land portions and at least part of the second and fourth land portions are electrically connected to each other, respectively.

Abstract: A housing cage (1) comprising walls (2) defining sides of the housing cage and having wall sections (3). A plurality of contact surfaces (4), each of which is connected to one of said wall sections, are arranged so as to support built-in modules which are held in the housing cage (1). Each of the wall sections (3) is connected only on one first side (5) to its associated wall (2) of the housing cage (1), and the other sides of the wall sections (3) are spaced from the associated wall (2) of the housing cage (1) by incisions (6) in said associated wall, so that each of the wall sections (3) can be bent along the first side (5) with respect to its associated wall (2) of the housing cage (1).

Abstract: An assembly, such as a sensor assembly, includes an optional housing having an inner surface and an outer surface where the housing includes housing connecting features. The assembly further includes a module assembly with at least one resilient member, and an elongate member coupled with the at least one resilient member. The module assembly and the elongate member are disposed within the housing where the elongate member is coupled with the housing with the housing connecting features.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a cage, a hood, a fastener, and a resilient member. The hood is detachably secured to the cage. The hood includes a first post and a second post extending downwardly from a side thereof respectively. The fastener is movably mounted to the cage. The fastener includes a first guiding surface for the first post sliding thereon during assembling the hood to the cage, and a second guiding surface for the second post sliding thereon during removing the hood from the cage. The resilient member is connected between the fastener and the cage.
