Abstract: The present embodiments provide channel letter lighting devices and/or systems. A lighting system, comprising a plurality of electrically connected lighting units, comprising conductors to provide an electrical signal to each of the units. Each of the lighting units comprise a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the housing and having a plurality of tabs and a plurality light emitting elements on the tabs. The tabs are angled in relation of the remainder of the PCB or housing. The electrical signal applied to the light emitting elements causes them to emit light substantially away from said housing. The lighting system further comprises a sealant within the housing filling cavities around the light emitting elements and the cavity around said PCB and a mounting mechanism for mounting the unit to a structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for weighing a stent includes a buffer for storing a stent support with a stent mounted thereon, a stent mounting and dismounting assembly that mounts and dismounts the stent from the stent support, a robotic arm for moving the stent support with the stent between the buffer and the stent mounting and dismounting assembly, and a scale assembly for weighing the stent. The stent mounting and dismounting assembly moves the stent into the scale assembly after the stent has been dismount from the stent support.

Abstract: A method for coating a stent can involve a device having a drying zone, a spray zone, and movable member for positioning a stent in the drying zone and another stent in the spray zone. Each stent can be on a support. A force can be applied to the outside surface of a stent to prevent rotation of the stent with respect to the support.

Abstract: An integrally mounted apparatus for washing out vehicle-mounted concrete mixing drums is disclosed. The washout apparatus includes an open-ended elongate, relatively rigid shaped hollow guide tube mounted in fixed relation to the support structure support of an inclined mixing drum and extending in fixed relation to the open end of the drum between the fins and charge hopper. A flexible hollow hose is threaded through the guide tube. The hose has a receiving end connected with a source of cleaning fluid under pressure and a discharge end which protrudes from the end of the guide tube as it ends inside the open end of the mixing drum. A forward hose stop is provided for preventing the hose from slipping back down through the guide tube and a rear hose stop is provided for limiting the travel of the discharge end of the hose outward from the end of the guide tube.

Abstract: A sensor is associated with a mounting surface. An O-ring is then positioned between the sensor and the mounting surface, such that the O-ring is compressible when the sensor is fixed to the mounting surface. A fixing mechanism is generally provided for permanently fixing the sensor to the mounting surface, such that the O-ring located between the sensor and the mounting surface provides a proper tension thereof which prevents the sensor from being adversely affected by vibration resulting from a harsh vibration environment in which the sensor operates. The fixing mechanism can be implemented as a fixing joint between the sensor and the mounting surface. Additionally, the O-ring and the sensor are configured with respect to one another and the mounting surface to maintain tension in the fixing joint.

Abstract: A magnetic sensing apparatus includes a first magnetic transducer separated spatially from a second magnetic transducer and proximate to a target and a direction decoding circuit associated with the first and second magnetic transducers, wherein the direction decoding circuit produces output pulses that provide data indicative of a rotation of the target while rejecting rotational vibration signals associated with the target during a rotational detection of the target utilizing the first and second magnetic transducers without producing erroneous output pulses or missing an excessive number of the output pulses during speed and rotational detection operations thereof.
