Patent number: 8948436Abstract: The present invention comprises a loudspeaker system that includes a loudspeaker and a detachable mount. In one or more embodiments, the loudspeaker and mount include electrical connectors that are engaged when the loudspeaker is attached to the mount. In one or more embodiments, the loudspeaker and mount comprise mating mounting structures that support the loudspeaker on the mount when the mounting structure of the loudspeaker is engaged with the mounting structure of the mount. In one or more embodiments, mating electrical connectors are incorporated in the mounting structures such that engaging the mounting structures simultaneously engages the electrical connectors. In one or more embodiments, the loudspeaker comprises a locking mechanism that positively retains the loudspeaker on the mount.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: RGB Systems, Inc.Inventors: William Cameron Stewart, Jr., Jeff Hatley, Michael Hudson, Larry Frerichs

Patent number: 8220652Abstract: An external power supply support system includes an enclosure with indentations spanning its top and side surfaces in a substantially horizontal fashion, and a caddy with a shell-like body configured to engage at least a portion of the indented power supply enclosure. The shell-like caddy body is provided with mounting apertures spaced according to standard rack rail aperture spacing. The mounting apertures emanate from a series of integral structures bulging from the bottom surface of the shell-like caddy body. The bulging aperture structures in combination with several integral structural ribs are configured collectively to provide a substantially flat and elevated interface suitable for secure mounting of the caddy to a support surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: RGB Systems, Inc.Inventors: David Pincek, Carlo Espiritu, Jeff Hatley, Nerio Perez, Stanley S.

Patent number: 6326797Abstract: A test coupon for measuring the effects of solder processes on circuit testability. The test coupon includes a circuit board having a multiplicity of circuit conductor patterns. Each conductor pattern is connected to a plurality of pads and vias on the circuit board. The circuit pads on an opposite surface of the circuit board support solder connections to a plurality of different circuit components. The circuit pads are connected to the vias, which in turn are connected to individual conductors of the circuit pattern. A surface connector is also supported on the circuit board, having pins extending through the circuit board. The circuit pattern conductors terminate on a respective connector pin. The test coupon may be subject to in-circuit testing where a value of the various components are measured. The multiple circuit patterns and mounted components permit different types of tester pins to be used to evaluate in-circuit testability in a test coupon used in a particular manufacturing process.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1998Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ray J. Caggiano, Boyd H. Furr, Jeff A. Hatley, Richard Joseph Noreika
