Abstract: An automatic graphics delivery system that operates in parallel with an existing Web site infrastructure is provided. The system streamlines the post-production process by automating the production of media through content generation procedures controlled by proprietary tags placed by an author within URLs embedded within Web documents.

Abstract: An auxiliary socket (1) comprising, a housing (2) having multiple electrical terminals (3) in terminal receiving slots (4), the terminals (3) being relatively widely spaced apart, and a panel receiving slot (5) adapted for receiving circuit traces that are intolerant of relatively dense spacing with other circuit traces.

Abstract: A shielded surface mount electrical connector (10) that has an insulative housing (18) having at least one compliant surface mount contact (30) secured therein. The shield (12) has at least one boardlock (14) integral therewith. The boardlock (14) has at least one spring (78 or 80) for reception in a boardlock receiving aperture (74) in a circuit board (16) on which the connector (10) is mounted. The spring (78 or 80) has at least one barb (92) thereon positioned along the spring (78 or 80) to engage the wall of the boardlock receiving aperture (74).

Abstract: A self-regulating heater including a body of electrically non-conductive material, an induction coil embedded within the body, lossy heating particles dispersed within the body and connection terminals for supplying power to the induction coil. The lossy heating particles produce heat when subjected to an alternating magnetic field produced by the induction coil. The lossy heating particles have a Curie temperature approximately equal to a substantially constant auto-regulation temperature at which the body is heated. The connection terminals supply power to the induction coil so that the induction coil can produce an alternating magnetic field of sufficient intensity to cause the lossy heating particles to heat the body to the auto-regulation temperature.

Abstract: An electrical terminal having electrical circuit components mounted in series thereon comprises a body section having terminal sections extending outwardly from each end, the terminal sections being adapted to be electrically connected to complementary conductive means of other respective electrical articles. The body section includes at least one component-receiving portion having a first section and a second section initially integrally joined by a severable section. A dielectric housing means is secured to the body section, the housing means having a component-receiving aperture therein associated with each of the component-receiving portions, the first and second and severable sections initially being exposed along a bottom surface of the aperture. The housing means is adapted to permit severing of the several section, thus electrically disconnecting the associated first and second sections.

Abstract: Electrical connector intended for use between spaced-apart parallel circuit boards comprises a rigid insulating housing having oppositely facing connector mating surfaces which are opposed to the surfaces of the circuit boards. Sheet metal conductors are contained in the housing assembly, each conductor having end portions which extend beyond the connector mating surfaces. Each conductor has an intermediate spring portion which is within the housing assembly so that the end portions of the conductors can be moved recessively into the housing with accompanying flexure of the spring. In use, the connector is clamped between the opposed surfaces of the circuit boards with the end portions of the conductors opposed to terminal pads on the circuit board surfaces. The spring portions of the conductors are flexed so that the end portions are urged against, and into, the terminal pads thereby to establish electrical contact.

Abstract: A single metal blank is stamped and formed to provide an electrical terminal which includes sets of jaws which are closed toward one another to penetrate through insulation of a wire conductor and to grippingly engage the conductor. The jaws are closed readily by a pair of pliers. The terminal may be applied as a tap-off along one of a pair of wire connectors without disturbing the other conductor.

Abstract: An electrically operated tool is disclosed for inserting one or more insulated electrical wires into a barrel shaped, slotted terminal. A modified solenoid provides a hammer action power stroke which is initiated by partially retracting the toolhead inwardly of the tool upon movement of the tool against the barrel terminal. A trigger circuit applies line voltage to the solenoid windings, saturating the core, to provide rapid power stroke, so that the solenoid armature hammers against a strike plate of the toolhead. The trigger circuit includes a high and low power adjustment.

Abstract: An electrical connector housing is formed of two relatively slidable parts movable between a condition in which contact cavities are aligned, for insertion of contacts and a condition in which the cavities are slightly out of alignment so that one housing part presents shoulders overlapping edges of cavities in the other part for positively retaining contacts in the other part.
