The satellite connection end of the SRS has an interface ring (14) with clinch clamps (4) that securely attach to a ring (3) on the rescued satellite. An umbilical connector (7) on the satellite connecting end of the SRS provides power and data to the rescued satellite.

Abstract: A mechanical braking system which can provide a brake to a self-powered treadmill, or a dual mode treadmill that can operate in both self-powered and motor-powered modes, that will rapidly halt the motion of the belt or rollers in the event of a power disconnect such as from the removal of a safety key.

Abstract: A child component ID module identifies child components connected to a parent component in response to selection of the parent component for placement on a PCB. The child components identified from component connections of a logic design. A child placement module places the child components around the parent component after placement of the parent component, where each child component is placed in compliance with constraints of the child components. A constraint highlight module identifies, on a PCB layout, an allowable area for component placement and prohibited areas for non-placement after selection of the component. The component is a parent component or a child component identified from component connections of a logic design of an electronic circuit design. The apparatus includes a constraint de-highlight module that removes identification on the PCB layout of the allowable area and the one or more prohibited areas in response to placement of the component.

Abstract: Identifying and resolving issues with placement of plated through vias in voltage divider regions of a printed circuit board (“PCB”) layout. Search parameters indicate an area of the PCB layout to be analyzed, and vias meeting the search parameters are evaluated for placement issues. Upon detecting a placement issue for a via, a solution is determined that addresses and resolves the placement issue of the via. The resolution in an embodiment includes modifying an adjacent power shape, modifying a region between shapes, and/or modifying via placement to minimize risks that include potential shorting, partially-connected vias, and/or poor plated barrel adhesion.

Abstract: A portable electrical testing device is disclosed. The portable electrical testing device includes an electrical probe and a laser soldering device. The electrical probe is configured to be placed in contact with an electrical circuit element and to receive electrical signals from the circuit element. The laser soldering device is configured to apply laser radiation to the electrical probe while the probe is in contact with the electrical circuit element to heat the electrical probe and to thereby enable soldering of the electrical probe to the electrical circuit element. The electrical probe further includes a replaceable probe lead having a surface coating of an electrically conductive fusible metal alloy that melts, when heated by laser radiation from the laser soldering device, and forms a mechanical bond with the circuit element upon cooling. The electrical probe and laser soldering device are configured to be adjustably positioned relative to a mechanical housing.

Abstract: Dynamic electronic printed circuit board (PCB) design is provided. A test net on a PCB is dynamically created utilizing a first rule defining a net parameter and a second rule defining a padstack geometric parameter. A first evaluation of one or more nets having a first padstack is performed against the first rule. A second evaluation of both the first padstack and a reference padstack determined to be adjacently positioned to the first padstack is performed against the second rule. Based on the evaluations, a potential test net having a potential test padstack is dynamically selected from the evaluated nets. The selected potential test net is dynamically transformed into the test net. The dynamic transformation includes modifying the potential test padstack and/or the reference padstack utilizing the second rule. The dynamic creation of the test net improves the efficiency of electronic PCB design by mitigating time and footprint consumption.

Abstract: A pull cord safety system, primarily for use with an exercise device such as, but not limited to, a treadmill, that provides for a captive cord which is fixed to the exercise device via a trip mechanism housing. This provides for the benefits of a pull cord safety shutoff where the treadmill shuts off if sufficient force is applied to pull the cord, but keeps the system from being a separable key system. Thus, it eliminates misplacing the key and provides for a system which can more easily be triggered regardless of the angle of fall or instability.

A net having at least two pins is dynamically routed in the PCB. An intersection of the net with the first boundary is identified and dynamically resolved.
