Abstract: An electrical component mounting assembly is disclosed for attaching a cylindrical electrical component (C1) such as capacitor, diode, or resistor to a mounting member such as a printed circuit board in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The mounting assembly can have a housing (12) and a sleeve (14) placed around the electrical component which cooperates with the housing to retain the electrical component to the housing. A substantially inner cylindrical wall (32) of the housing can taper inward from an entrance (34) end to a rear wall (18) to form a tapering or narrowing chamber (30). The sleeve can have a slit that runs along the entire length of the sleeve and a tapered outer surface (28) that cooperates with the tapered chamber to clamp or compress against the electrical component as the sleeve is inserted into the housing. The lack of appreciable expansion of the housing creates a tight friction fit to secure the sleeve to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for virtualizing a code library. The method comprises providing a description of at least one function in said code library. The description includes properties of any parameter and of any data structure required by said function. Code for a stub library for a client computer from which a library function may be called remotely is then generated. The stub library is operable to construct, in accordance with said description, a transportable data message for calling a function of said code library, the construction including determining properties of any parameter required by said called function and obtaining the argument value referred to by any pass-by-reference parameter. Code for a skeleton library, for a host computer on which said code library is hosted, is also generated. The skeleton library is operable to invoke execution of said called function in response to receipt of said transportable data message.
