Abstract: A one piece card guide for edge grounding a printed circuit board and guiding the board to a mounted position. The card guide is formed out of a single piece comprising an integrally formed pair of sidewalls facing each other and spaced apart to form a longitudinal slot into which the circuit board is inserted. At least one pair of grounding points is integrally formed into the side walls for contact with an inserted circuit board. The grounding points may be formed as integral spring fingers on opposite sides of the sidewalls to maximize the contact with the circuit board. The card guide allows for different numbers of grounding points in the card guide. The single piece construction of the card guide reduces intermittent contact with circuit cards by providing a guide that ensures continuous edge grounding.

Abstract: An optical radiation sensor device for detecting radiation in a radiation field having a thickness. A preferred embodiment of the device includes a radiation source and a radiation sensor element positioned to receive radiation from the radiation source. A motor (or other motive means) is provided to alter the thickness of the radiation field from a first thickness to a second thickness. The sensor element is capable of detecting and responding to incident radiation from radiation source at the first thickness and at the second thickness. The optical radiation sensor device allows for determination of radiation (preferably ultraviolet radiation) transmittance of a fluid of interest.

Abstract: Olefins can be induced to react with phosphines at ambient temperature and pressure to produce organophosphines by free-radical addition. Suitable olefins include C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alpha-olefins, cyclic olefins, polycycloalkenyl species, allyl alcohol and esters of vinyl phosphonic acid.
