  • Publication number: 20240040190
    Abstract: An AVR device in accordance with one or more embodiments connects audio and video source devices to audio and video rendering devices. A front panel user interface including a display is integrated in the housing of the AVR device. Input-output (IO) modules are coupled to a backplane board in the housing to be connected to the source devices and the rendering devices. The 10 modules include at least one network interface. System-on-Modules (SoMs) are mounted on the backplane board. The SoMs are configured to decode and process audio and video data received from the audio and video source devices for rendering by the audio and video rendering devices and execute an operating system generating a GUI displayed on the display of the front panel user interface. A video subsystem module on the backplane board is configured to route the audio and video data between the plurality of SoMs and the 10 modules.

  • Patent number: 9655262
    Abstract: A dielectric header sub-assembly includes a header body with opposed first and second surfaces and a side wall. The first and second surfaces define a header axis extending therebetween. The side wall extends from the first surface to the second surface. The second surface includes a tapered portion. A dielectric header sub-assembly includes a bore. The bore extends from the first surface to the second surface. A first bore opening of the bore proximate to the first surface is greater in area than a second bore opening of the bore proximate the second surface. A method of assembling a header sub-assembly includes inserting an electrical connector into a bore of a header body, applying an active braze filler material into the bore and applying heat to braze the active braze filler material to the header body and the electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 7926178
    Abstract: A method of assembling a fuel nozzle includes providing a first nozzle component and a second nozzle component, wherein the first nozzle component is configured and adapted to engage within the second nozzle component. Braze is applied to at least one of the first and second nozzle components. The first nozzle component is assembled into the second nozzle component to provide a diametral interference fit therebetween. The method further includes joining the first and second nozzle components together. A fuel nozzle includes a first cylindrical nozzle component, a second cylindrical nozzle component disposed with an interference fit on an outward surface of the first nozzle component, and a layer of braze joiningly disposed between the first and second nozzle components.
