  • Patent number: 6608758
    Abstract: A computer chassis in accordance with the present invention is disclosed. The chassis includes a first body, a second body, and an electromagnetic shield coupled between the first body and the second body. The shield includes a plurality of dimples and a plurality of valleys for providing an electromechanical seal when the shield is placed in an interference condition. The chassis shielding system utilizes a shield with a design that is inexpensive to manufacture, is structurally sturdy, and simple to implement in an interference environment. In a preferred embodiment, the shield is provided for inserting between a circuit card mounting bracket and a computer chassis. The improved shield design incorporates special features including a plurality of dimples and a plurality of valleys, strategically located for providing improved adjacent surface contact and enhanced shielding from unwanted radiation.

  • Patent number: 5872935
    Abstract: The present invention provides an adapter for utilizing a PCMCIA card in a desktop computer which has at least one card slot and one bay. The adapter includes a logic card configured to be inserted into the card slot of the computer. The logic card has logic thereon to convert PCMCIA bus architecture of the PCMCIA card to the bus architecture of the desktop computer in a bidirectional manner. There may be at least one PCMCIA card receiving slot on the logic card connected to the logic. A first set of external connectors on the logic card is connected to one end of a multi-conductor flexible cable. An outrigger card which includes at least one PCMCIA card is provided which is configured to be inserted into an externally accessible bay of the computer. A second set of connectors on the outrigger card is connected to the opposite end of the multi-conductor flexible cable. Conductors on the outrigger card connect the second set of connectors on the outrigger card to the PCMCIA card receiving slot(s) thereon.

  • Patent number: 5657518
    Abstract: There is disclosed a clip for a garment hanger on which clothes are hung directly, and which has front and rear gripping plates which are movable one relative to the other. A locking mechanism, preferably in the form of an arm in a fixed one of the two plates interlocks the movable plates for gripping a garment within the clip. A movable pressure device preferably mounted on the movable one of the plates is used to effect release of the locking means and immediately the locking means is released, the pressure device acts directly on the movable plate to force it away from the other plate to thereby quickly and easily release a garment previously held within the clip. In an alternative, a flange extends from the movable plate and has locking tooth thereon engageable with teeth on the release arm. The flange extends across the teeth in use to prevent delicate garments becoming entangled in the locking mechanism between the movable plates.
