Abstract: An ergonomic apparatus for handling a hinged lid that reduces force required to open the hinged lid and bending by a user, maintains the lid in an open position to prevent accidental closure of the lid, and assists with closing the lid. The apparatus has a horizontal member with an attachment means for removably coupling the apparatus to the hinged lid, a vertical member extending from a proximal end of the horizontal member, and a handle in operable communication with the vertical member. The vertical member and handle are configured relative to the horizontal member such that when the vertical member is positioned on a flat surface, the handle is raised above the flat surface by about 10° to 25° and the hinged lid is maintained in an open position having an angle greater than 90° relative to an opening the hinged lid was covering.

Abstract: A lockout assembly for first and second rudder pedals of an aircraft includes first and second spacers, each of which is configured to be inserted within a corresponding one of first and second slots disposed in an adjacent rudder pedal housing. A coupling mechanism is configured to couple the first spacer to the second spacer through the rudder pedal housing so as to retain the first and second spacers in corresponding ones of the slots. The lockout mechanism prevents movement of the rudder pedals in a same direction, and hence, movement of the aircraft's rudder.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a toned pattern on an isolated nonabsorbent receiving surface is disclosed wherein a charged electrostatic latent image area is established on an electrostatically imageable surface, and is transferred to the receiving surface across a gap of between about 1 mil and about 20 mils filled with a liquid formed at least partially of a nonpolar insulating solvent in which are suspended charged toner particles.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a toned pattern on an isolated nonabsorbent conductive receiving surface is disclosed wherein a charged electrostatic latent image area is established on an electrostatically imageable surface, and is transferred to the conductive receiving surface across a gap of between about 1 mil and about 20 mils filled with a liquid formed at least partially of a nonpolar insulating solvent in which are suspended charged toner particles.

Abstract: An electrostatic latent image in a desired pattern is formed on an electrostatically imageable surface and toned with a liquid toner to form a toner image on the surface. The toner image is then transferred while still wet to a transfer sheet and then to the surface of a conductor, or the toner image may be transferred directly to the surface of a conductor without a transfer sheet, such direct transfer being preferred. The toner image is then fused to the conductor surface to provide an etch resist pattern of high resolution on the conductor surface. The conductor may then be etched to form a high density printed circuit. In the direct transfer method a nonpolar insulating solvent-carrier is applied to the surface of the conductor and the electrostatically imageable surface.
