Abstract: Microstrip routing circuits with dielectric films are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a substrate, the substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side and the second side defining a height of the substrate, traces on the first side of the substrate, and a dielectric film positioned on the first side to cover at least a portion of the traces.

Abstract: A taillight assembly includes a lamp housing and a deformable member. The lamp housing is configured to be fixedly supported to a movable panel of a vehicle body structure. The lamp housing is positioned relative to an overhang of the movable panel such that the lamp housing and the overhang are separated by a space. The deformable member is attached to the lamp housing and disposed within the space. The deformable member has a first exposed surface that substantially aligns with a second exposed surface of the lamp housing and a third exposed surface of the overhang.

Abstract: A variable arc sprinkler head or nozzle may be set to numerous positions to adjust the arcuate span of the sprinkler. The nozzle may include an arc adjustment valve having two portions that helically engage each other to define an opening that may be adjusted at the top of the sprinkler to a desired arcuate length. The arcuate length may be adjusted by pressing down and rotating a deflector to directly actuate the valve. The nozzle may also include a radius reduction valve that may be adjusted by actuation of an outer wall of the nozzle. Rotation of the outer wall causes a flow control member to move axially to or away from an inlet.

Abstract: A knob retainer system including a knob having a cavity and an opening into said cavity and a retainer adapted to fit within the knob cavity. The retainer includes wing portions and a cantilevered barbed portion. When the retainer is placed inside of the knob cavity and the actuating lever is manipulated between the retainer and an upper wall of the knob cavity, the actuating lever downwardly depresses the retainer thereby causing stakes located in the retainer to positively engage a portion of the cavity wall thereby preventing the retainer from moving with respect to the knob. The retainer is also fitted with a cantilevered portion which terminates in a barbed end. The barbed end positively engages an engagement surface on the actuating lever thereby preventing the actuating lever from pulling away from the knob/retainer assembly. The actuating lever is easily removed from the knob/retainer assembly by use of a specialized tool.
