Abstract: A vise with a sliding head which slides on an elongate body. A diagonal clamping screw passes through a hole in the sliding head and is threaded into a pin inserted in an internal sliding block. The internal sliding block has a toothed pattern which is able to interlock with a toothed pattern fixed to the body underneath the vise slides. The diagonal clamping screw provides force to lock the tooth patterns together and pull the head forward when tightened. A spring provides force to disengage the internal sliding block teeth and fixed teeth on the body when the diagonal clamping screw is loosened.

Abstract: Packaging for power circuitry. A circuit board and a power lead frame are packaged together in a module. In addition to providing electrical connections to power circuitry, the lead frame is employed to fix or partially fix the location of the circuit board in the package. For this purpose, one of the power lead frame and the circuit board includes a male portion and the other of the power lead frame and the circuit board includes a complementary female portion for mechanically coupling the circuit board and the lead frame.
