The plug and receptacle connectors are designed to be mated and thus allow the separate circuit boards to be electrically connected in tandem in either the same plane or perpendicular to one another. The connector assembly includes a plug contact and a receptacle contact provided with cooling slots and an at least partially open rear face configured to permit the dissipation of heat.

  • Patent number: 5862569
    Abstract: A plate that is attached to a shaft to remove a door closer from the door completely. A door holder is used to set the plate in an "open" position, out of the way of the door. Once the plate is in the open position, the door is free to open and close without any force on it at all. If there is an emergency, the door holder releases the plate. The door closer then moves the plate against the door and closes the door. Once the door is closed, the plate can be reset by opening the door until the door holder is again engaged. In this way, people can operate the door without exertion while they are protected from emergencies.
