Abstract: A shielded cable includes a cable body that is surrounded by a vacuum metallized layer. The metallized layer can be grounded with a metallized thermoform connector to prevent the release or impingement of harmful EMI radiation. Optionally, an insulating top coating can be disposed over the metallized layer over the cable body.

Abstract: A scaleable abstraction control solution including an abstraction process and an abstraction system. The abstraction solution permits extraction, tracking, and management of data defined in one or more documents. The abstraction process can include double blind data abstraction. The abstracted data can be verified using a quality assurance process that can include statistical sampling, tracked random error insertion, and abstraction auditing. Data from documents can be abstracted into one or more customizable databases, forms, templates, or software.

Abstract: A fixture for supporting printed circuit (PC) boards during wave soldering includes a rigid frame having a ledge formed along the inner perimeter of the frame. The ledge supports a PC board along a peripheral portion of the board. Channels are formed atop the frame for receiving slidably removable clamps. The fixture further includes a slidably removable rail coupled to the frame along its channels. The rail includes a ledge that is coplanar with the ledge of the frame. The rail can be adjusted to provide support for smaller PC boards. A drop-plate component includes a recessed area for receiving a PC board, and depressed regions for masking components on the board. Openings formed in the drop-plate expose desired areas of the board for soldering. The drop-plate, loaded with a PC board, fits into the frame along the ledges of the frame and/or the rail for a wave soldering operation.
