  • Patent number: 9140482
    Abstract: A storage basket is configured to hold multiple product units such as blood bags within the cabinet of a freezer. The storage basket includes first and second spaced-apart sidewalls and a plurality of inclined shelves extending between and coupled to these sidewalls. The inclined shelves include a plurality of air flow apertures that defined storage receptacles for product units as well as additional flow apertures to ensure minimal hindrance of cooling air flow within the freezer. The storage basket also includes handles that enable easy grasping and movement of multiple product units at once into and out of the freezer. As a result, the amount of time needed to cool product units down to a desired temperature with the freezer is reduced and the storage density within the freezer is increased.

  • Publication number: 20060169071
    Abstract: A rotary to linear converter is disclosed in a remotely controlled toy environment for translating the bidirectional rotation of a servo motor into the linear displacement of a tab connection point. A single spool member which is driven to rotate incrementally from one angular position to another, and a flexible, nonstretchable linkage, which is integral to the spool at one end and integral to a tab at the opposite end. During the period of rotation of the servo motor-driven spool, the integral linkage is either fed off the spool or wound onto the spool thereby traversing the linkage and the integral tab through guides in the housing and lid, which act as alignment restraints tensioning the linkage and tab to eliminate slack.
