Abstract: A redundant rail and carriage assembly is disclosed. The assembly may include a primary sub-assembly including a primary rail and a primary carriage. The assembly may include a secondary sub-assembly including a secondary rail and a secondary carriage, the secondary rail being different than the primary rail, the secondary carriage being different than the secondary carriage. The assembly may be configured to couple to an actuatable door configured to actuate between a stowed door position and a deployed door position via at least one intermediate door position using one of the primary sub-assembly or the secondary sub-assembly, the secondary sub-assembly being configured to actuate the actuatable door via the secondary rail and the secondary carriage if one of the primary rail or the primary carriage of the primary sub-assembly fails.

Abstract: A simulated stained glass art object and a method for its production comprised of a wooden picture frame containing a pane of glass onto which a polymeric film bearing the art image is bonded and embedded with an epoxy resin. The art images are printed onto the film from a computer with an inkjet printer. The images are loaded into the computer either by scanning photographs or by uploading files from a digital camera. The glass pane may be modified to minimize reflected light or to absorb UV wavelengths. A mirror can be installed behind the art images to reflect light back through the images and to improve the appearance of the object when viewed.

Abstract: An adjustable angle extender card is used to hot-test a circuit pack having electrical connectors that connect to back plane electrical connectors in an electrical cabinet when the circuit pack is inserted into the electrical cabinet. The extender card comprises a rigid basic board that can be inserted into the electrical cabinet and a rigid circuit pack card guide that accepts the circuit pack. The basic board includes plural replication electrical connectors, arranged along one edge of a substrate, for connection to the back plane electrical cabinet connectors when the basic board is inserted into the electrical cabinet, and plural basic board electrical connectors arranged along an opposite edge of the substrate. Corresponding replication connectors and basic board connectors are electrically connected.

Abstract: A sphere or globe of two hemispheric parts detachably secured together. One of the parts has a loading/unloading hole, and a cap snap-fitted in the hole to close it. Each part, except for the cap, is a one-piece molded article, and the cap is a one-piece molded article. The parts have ribs for strengthening and providing limited stability against rolling. The sphere can be rolled for stirring the contents therein, and for moving it to different locations.
