  • Patent number: 10604967
    Abstract: A rectangular shaped lockable bin is defined by four walls and a bottom wall. A lid is hingedly mounted to the rear wall and has a slot located in a front portion thereof. A lock having a latch is pivotably mounted to the front wall of said bin at a pivot point and is configured to be selectively rotated between a locked position and an unlocked position by an actuator. A tail extending from the lock contacts a post located on the wall of the bin and basis the lock in the unlocked position. A series of such bins may be received in a delivery module, which may be received in a drawer.

  • Patent number: 9955570
    Abstract: The subject matter of this disclosure relates to a flexible circuit for carrying a signal between electrical components that includes boosting circuitry for mitigating the effects of signal degradation. More particularly the flexible circuit can carry a signal between a main logic board and an input/output board supporting input/output ports of a portable electronic device. The flexible circuit can be configured with bends in order to meet packaging constraints such as avoiding contact with components obstructing a direct path between connectors of the electrical components. Additional bends can also be included in the flexible that facilitate the assembly of the portable electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9812401
    Abstract: A routing apparatus includes a PCB having first and second arrays of contact pads, an interposer having third, fourth and fifth arrays of contact pads, the third and fourth arrays of contact pads being disposed on opposing surfaces of the interposer, the third array of contact pads being electrically connected to the first array of contact pads. First and second integrated circuits are respectively mounted on the second and fourth arrays of contact pads. The interposer includes a first group of conductive traces insulated from one another, a first array of conductive vias extending perpendicularly to the first group of conductive traces, the first array of conductive vias including through-vias connecting the third array of contact pads to corresponding contact pads in the fourth array of contact pads.

  • Publication number: 20170265304
    Abstract: A circuit board includes conductive traces being sandwiched by an upper insulating layer and a lower insulating layer, a first array of conductive vias extending perpendicularly to the conductive traces, the vias in the first array of conductive vias being arranged such that any two adjacent vias in a row of vias extending along any given dimension in the first array of conductive vias are equally spaced from each other, and isolation resistors embedded within the first array of conductive vias such that each isolation resistor is disposed between at least two adjacent vias in the first array of conductive vias, each isolation resistor being disposed closer to the conductive via to which the isolation resistor is coupled than all other conductive vias surrounding the isolation resistor.
