  • Rectilinearally latchable zero insertion force connector
    Patent number: 4585288
    Abstract: A zero insertion force connector is provided with a housing and a latching member rectilinearly displacable with respect to the housing. A circuit board, receivable within the housing, is displaced with respect thereto from an initial to a final position in which the board abuts against a predetermined abutment surface on the housing. As the board is displaced, the final position of the board engages against a resilient contacting member which is successively urged in a first wiping direction across the conduction stripe on the board and thereafter, into a counter backwiping direction along the stripe.

  • Stable nitrate/slurry explosives
    Patent number: 4585495
    Abstract: Explosives that are sensitized blends of inorganic nitrate, e.g., AN, particles, such as AN or ANFO prills, and an aqueous slurry comprising a thickened aqueous solution of an inorganic oxidizing salt, preferably AN, are rendered storage-stable by keeping the slurry's water content low enough, and its viscosity high enough, that the slurry is water-retentive. Water immobilization in the slurry, a requirement for storage stability, is achieved despite the slurry's flowable consistency at the time of blending. A blend containing about 25% slurry or less, is essentially in the form of a granular mass of free-flowing, high-density, slurry-bearing prills, and the slurry is sensitizable by the prills alone. As the slurry content exceeds about 25%, the blend takes on the characteristics of a thick slurry, requiring a supplemental sensitizer in the slurry per se.

  • Catheter support
    Patent number: 4583976
    Abstract: A catheter support comprising an anchoring pad and a flexible strap, a portion of which is attached thereto, is disclosed. One side of the anchoring pad carries an adhesive compatible for use with human skin. One side of the strap carries a fastener material. With the pad in place, a catheter is laid against the pad, and the free end of the strap is folded across the catheter. The fastener material of the free end is pressed against the fastener material attached to the pad to hold the catheter in place. Alternatively, the side of the pad opposite the side with the adhesive carries fastener material, and the flexible strap is separate therefrom. A channel is present through the fastener material on either the pad, flexible strap or both to receive the catheter.

  • Tack-on acknowledgement in computer networks
    Patent number: 4584679
    Abstract: A method of communicating is disclosed in which the receiving device acknowledges the receipt of a valid transmission and awaits the receipt of an abort message from the transmitting device before accepting the transmitted data. The transmitting device awaits the receipt of a valid acknowledgement and, if it fails to receive such an acknowledgement within a predetermined time-period, transmits an abort message to the receiving device. In multinodal, peer network communication systems, the acknowledgement and abort message may be transmitted during brief, dedicated time-periods following the transmission of data.
