Abstract: A computer chassis is provided that may accommodate direct access storage device cages for various form factors. A 3.5-inch direct access storage device (DASD) cage may support 3.5-inch serial attached SCSI (SAS) direct access storage devices. The 3.5-inch SAS DASD cage includes a DASD backplane with a main connector and eight SAS drive connectors. A SFF direct access storage device cage may support SFF SAS direct access storage devices. The SFF SAS DASD cage may include a DASD backplane with a main connector and two port expanders. The port expanders may support up to twelve SAS DASD with redundant SAS channel wiring and one external 4-channel SAS port.

Abstract: A flexible cylindrical sheath arrangement for a male urinary device in which the "press-on" device has a longitudinal opening to accommodate insertion of the male organ. The device is sealed along the length of the male penis by use of adhesive on flaps projecting laterally from the cylindrical sheath. Prior to use, the adhesive is covered with a release lining. The sheath portion is connected to a conical portion which terminates in a tubular urine exhaust passage and communicates urine external to the device.

Abstract: Apparatus for retaining vanes in an abrasive blasting machine includes a rotatable runnerhead having a radially extending channel opening through one face of the runnerhead. A slot is included as part of the channel adjacent the radially outer end of the channel. A vane includes a base adapted to be disposed within the channel and retained there by a retaining pin fitted into the slot. A magnet is disposed in the slot in order to retain the pin in the slot at all times. The base includes a plurality of intersecting planar surfaces overlying the slot that cooperate to (1) enable the pin to be inserted and removed without displacing other machine components and (2) hold the pin securely in place during operation of the machine. The planar surfaces are configured such that the vane can be manufactured in a casting operation without using cores, thereby effecting significant cost savings.

Abstract: A tank truck (10) for carrying fuel has a tank (12) whose shell (18) is supported by a baffle (20). The vertical cross section of the baffle is straight, but its horizontal cross section has two concave sections (48 and 50) and a convex section (52). Horizontal ribs (30 and 32) are secured to the face of the baffle (20) and help it to maintain the desired cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A power supply circuit for a temperature control system is switchable between a low input impedance mode and a high input impedance mode, so that a temperature control system having this power supply can directly replace a bimetallic switch and the power supply will look to the rest of the system like the replaced bimetallic switch.
