Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing that provides for adjustable support of work pieces such as printed circuit boards includes an edge rail system having first and second edge rails, with at least one of the edge rails being adjustable, allowing the width of the system to be adjusted to accommodate various widths of work pieces. It also includes a set of support strips for supporting a lower side of the work pieces and a means for dynamically adjusting spacing of support strips to adjust to the width of the edge rail system.

Abstract: A compound bow includes a base member with a longitudinal extent and has first and second ends. The base member is formed from a rigid material and has a grip location between its first and second ends, which provide mounting locations for mounting limbs to the base member. An elastomeric body is applied over, for example by molding, and at least substantially encapsulates the base member over the longitudinal extent. The elastomeric body comprises an elastomeric material, and optionally forms a grip member at the grip portion.

Abstract: An improved substrate support system for clamping spring loaded pins that support substrates, such as printed circuit boards, which have even profiles, and uneven profiles due to components being installed on one side during manufacturing operations to the opposite side of the substrate. The substrate support system can utilize a cam lever, a knob, or a draw latch to move a clamping plate between an aligned position and a clamping position.

Abstract: A control circuit for driving a plurality of electrical loads, one at a time, has a converter circuit for receiving a DMX compatible digital control signal and extracting a plurality of address bits therefrom. A decoder circuit receives the digital address bits and generates a plurality of enable signals, each corresponding to a particular load. One of the load enable signals is in an active state and each other enable signal is in an inactive state at any one time. A relay circuit for receives the enable signals, and in response passes an electrical drive signal to the electrical load corresponding to the enable signal that is in the active state. The relay circuit preferably includes a plurality of relay devices each coupled to one of the enable signals and a plurality of discharge circuits for rapidly discharging each electrical load when the enable signal corresponding to that load changes from the active state to the inactive state.
