Abstract: A boom assembly is provided for a material handling machine. The boom assembly includes a boom pivotally coupled to a frame of the machine. The boom has a pair of side plates, a top plate and a bottom plate that are rigidly interconnected. The top plates have a pair of slots which extend therethrough. An arm is pivotally coupled to an end of the boom. A mounting unit extends between a center portion of the side plates. A pair of hydraulic boom cylinders are coupled between the frame and the mounting unit. A pair of spaced apart arm cylinder mounting plates are rigidly mounted to the mounting unit. Each mounting plate extends through a corresponding one of the slots. An arm cylinder is connected between the mounting plates and an arm.

Abstract: Flexible contact terminals configured from printed strip circuits and usable with integrated circuit test fixtures. The termination circuits include printed conductive pathways formed on a flexible, multi-layered substrate. The conductive paths are three dimensionally tailored for impedance and resilience. Circuit processing includes steps to profile etch the conductive paths at the X, Y and Z-axis, especially end terminations. A support fixture contains the termination circuits to provide resilient electrical test terminations to circuit components supported to a resilient component support.
