Abstract: An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.

Abstract: A shower door assembly is provided with a shower door pane, and a track with a side opening. A pair of wheels is mounted for rotation upon the shower door pane. Each of the pair of wheels is sized to be received in the track for translation along the track. A diameter of each of the pair of wheels is greater than a vertical dimension of the side opening to prevent removal of the pair of wheels from the track while in a vertical orientation, and to permit the pair of wheels to be removed in an angled orientation.

Abstract: A tie bar and guide assembly for casement windows having a roll form tie bar that snaps on to the tie bar guide without extending through it. The tie bar has locating openings that engage tabs on the tie bar guide to locate and secure the guide prior to installation. The tabs are depressed and disengaged when fasteners are used to secure the tie bar assembly to the window frame. The tie bar can include rivet locking points located close to the top and bottom of the tie bar to provide better security and increased stability for preventing water and air infiltration. The rivet locking points can be adjustable to optimize the fit of the window sash within the frame. The snap-on design reduces the overall height of the tie bar assembly thereby enabling a closer fit of the sash within the frame and reducing the required width of the window frame needed to accommodate the locking mechanism.

Abstract: An adjusting-free clamp pliers jaw, the first and second pliers bodies rotating on the base and the first and second pliers bodies being mirror symmetrical, the clamping rim is provided on both the first and second pliers bodies, the extrusion notch is provided on both the first and second pliers bodies, the clamping rims on the first and second pliers bodies are jointly used for clamping a clamp, and the extrusion notches on the first and second pliers bodies are used for jointly pinching off the clamp. The invention brings following benefits that: the clamping rims and the extrusion notches are arranged on the first and second pliers bodies, so that a clamping and breaking of the clamp from the extrusion can are realized and both the crimping and shearing functions can be integrated together without a conversion operation, and an operation of this device is simple, convenient and quick.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to a vapor chamber configured to accommodate a cooling fluid. The vapor chamber includes a first cover, a second cover, a first capillary structure, and a second capillary structure. The second cover and the first cover are attached to each other to form a chamber therebetween. The chamber is configured to accommodate the cooling fluid. The first capillary structure is located in the chamber and stacked on the first cover. The second capillary structure is located in the chamber and stacked on the first capillary structure. The second capillary structure is different from the first capillary structure. A projection of the second capillary structure onto the first cover is smaller than a projection of the first capillary structure onto the first cover.
Abstract: A microstrip electrical antenna (1) and its respective method of manufacturing, wherein the antenna (1) is of the electrically small kind being configured based on at least one wave parameter with which it will be operated.
