Patent number: 11950386Abstract: An explosion proof electronics enclosure (200), is provided having a first compartment (206) and a second compartment (207) defined by a body (205). A septum (208) is between the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207). A first aperture (209) in the septum (208) connects the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207). A cavity (225) communicates with the first aperture (209), wherein the cavity (225) comprises an undercut taper (226). A potting (230) in the cavity (225) conforms to the cavity (225) shape, and forms a substantially explosion-proof interface between the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207).Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: MICRO MOTION, INC.Inventors: Atul Vasant Deshpande, Clayton T. James, Shaun E. Shanahan, Howard Irving Sohm, Jr.

Patent number: 6424487Abstract: An energy absorbing disc travel limiter which not only mechanically defines a limit to the extent to which a disc in a disc drive can be axially displaced in response to applied mechanical shocks, but which also acts to damp the shock-induced motion of the discs, thus preventing contact between the discs and the actuator head mounting arms. The amount of damping provided by the disc travel limiter is determined by selection of the material of the disc travel limiter and selection of certain dimensions of the disc travel limiter.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Alan Thomas Nagl, Howard Irving Sohm
