  • Electronic module with conductively heat-sunk components
    Patent number: 5999407
    Abstract: A heat transfer arrangement for one or more heat-generating components (18a) on a printed-circuit board (16) includes a heat transfer plate (316) defining an aperture (416) registered with the components. A "vertically" movable heatsink adapter (410) is adjusted to juxtapose its "lower" surface with the "upper" surface of the components to be heat-sunk. A heat-transfer pad (318) may be used between the heatsink adapter (410) and the component (18a). In various embodiments, the heatsink adapter takes the form of circular (410) or rectangular (410R) plugs, a draw-tube (808) arrangement, or a bellows (1010).

  • Gravimetric feeder
    Patent number: 3944050
    Abstract: The endless belt of a gravimetric feeder is provided with a tracking and tensioning assembly which is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis. The assembly is also mounted for movement along said axis between operative and inoperative positions. In the operative position of the assembly, it tensions the belt and instantly corrects any tendency of the belt to move sideways. The assembly also maintains the inner surface of the belt clean by scraping the same when the assembly is in its operative position.
