  • Publication number: 20230027815
    Abstract: A pressurization dehydrator comprising an air compressor and a controller connected to enable automatic operation of the dehydrator. The dehydrator is implemented as a freestanding, bench-top unit having a housing that encloses a baffle plate on which the compressor is mounted. The bottom panel of the housing is affixed to the plate using dumpers inserted therebetween. The plate has legs protruding through the corresponding openings in the bottom panel for supporting the whole unit in the upright position on the bench top. Some or all of the legs may not have contact with edges of the openings. In operation, the legs provide an efficient mechanical pathway for transferring some vibrational energy of the plate to the bench top, thereby diverting said energy away from the housing. The circuit board of the controller is affixed to the housing, which beneficially reduces vibration levels transferred to the electronic components of the controller.

  • Patent number: 10701823
    Abstract: An enclosure for electronics includes a base, a base cover, a gasket, and an enclosure cover. The base receives one or more electronic elements. The base cover is mounted over the first base to secure the electronic elements within the base and form a unit having a groove in at least a part of the periphery of the unit. The gasket resides within the groove of the first unit. The enclosure cover is mounted over the first unit and the gasket and applies a compressive force to the gasket such that the gasket (i) forms a seal for the enclosure and (ii) applies force that secures at least a part of the periphery of the first base cover to at least a part of the periphery of the first base. In a single-unit assembly, the enclosure cover is an assembly cover that attaches to the unit. In a dual-unit assembly, each unit functions as the enclosure cover for the other unit in a clam-shell configuration.

  • Patent number: 9300408
    Abstract: Antenna array calibration systems and related methods include or utilize a plurality of signal splitter/combiner networks. Each of the signal splitter/combiner networks has a calibration signal sampling point in electrical communication with a signal input point, and signal output points. Each calibration signal sampling point may be capacitively coupled to a respective calibration source input of a calibration network. The signal splitter/combiner networks may be formed as phase-shifting networks.

  • Patent number: 8797124
    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a support assembly for a planar filter. The assembly includes a u-shaped housing with angled surfaces at the inner corners of the u-shape, a first dielectric plate having a first angled surface in contact with one of the angled surfaces of the housing, a second dielectric plate having a second angled surface in contact with the other angled surface of the housing, at least one compressible ring, and a cover. The planar filter is supported between the first dielectric plate and the second dielectric plate. The cover compresses the compressible ring to apply downward force on the first and second dielectric plates. The downward force is translated to an inward force by the angled surfaces of the housing. The angled surfaces of the housing apply an inward force on the first dielectric plate and the second dielectric plate.
