Abstract: A repeater amplifier assembly that includes at least two chassis containing optics and electronics. The chassis are connected with a size-adjustment mechanism that can adjust a size of the repeater amplifier assembly by reversibly adjusting the positions of the chassis with respect to each other. To insert the repeater amplifier assembly into a repeater housing, the repeater amplifier assembly is accessed in a contracted position. The amplifier is inserted into the housing, and then a control of the size adjustment mechanism is actuated to urge the chassis outwards until the chassis push against the repeater housing. To remove the repeater amplifier assembly from the repeater housing, the control is actuated to cause the size adjustment mechanism to pull the chassis inwards with respect to each other until the chassis no longer push against the repeater housing. The repeater amplifier assembly may then be freely removed from the repeater housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to labeling templates that aid in the creation of readable, formatted title and/content text or symbols at one or more locations on a surface of various storage media, or a label affixed thereto. The templates of the invention include one or a series of guide slots or openings preconfigured to a particular media or item surface that allow letters, shapes, or symbols to be applied, while at the same time providing a boundary to limit symbol application to specific locations on one or more surfaces of the storage media As such, the templates of the invention provide for optimized viewing when stored.

Abstract: A method of providing a through-hole connection between conductive layers of a multilayer circuit board assembly whose thickness is liable to expansion and contraction is described. The method includes inserting into through-holes in adjacent boards a tubular flexible conductive member and expanding that member in a position intermediate its ends to engage the through-holes. The boards are then urged together to further expand the tubular member so as to retain that member in the through-holes. Typically the conductive member comprises a tubular braid.
