Abstract: A packaging assembly structured to suspend an article within an exterior container and including first and second platforms each having a base with a window extending therethrough and a plurality of side portions extending about the periphery thereof. The side portions are movable into a transverse orientation relative to their respective bases and at least one flexible material bag is connected to the first platform and includes an access opening for a receipt of a packaged article into the bag. Peripheral portions of the bag are connected to the side portions of the first platform and movable therewith into a transverse orientation to facilitate tensioning of the bag and the enclosed article. The second platform is disposed in an inverted, retaining position within the exterior container and in confronting relation to the first platform so as to further tension the bag and the enclosed article.

Abstract: A butterfly valve assembly includes a unitary flow body and a unitary valve element. The unitary valve element is rotationally mounted within the flow body and includes a rotationally mounted shaft and a butterfly plate that is formed integral to the shaft. The butterfly valve assembly can withstand the maximum drive torque supplied from an associated actuator, while at the same time meeting a desired level of flow performance, and allows the unitary valve element to be installed up through the pilot bore.

Abstract: A percutaneous transluminal angioplasty device includes an embolic filter mounted to the catheter shaft at a location distal to the angioplasty balloon. Thus the filter is downstream from the blockage and is properly positioned to capture embolic particles that may be set loose into the blood stream as the angioplasty procedure is performed. The embolic filter is normally collapsed against the catheter shaft to facilitate introduction and withdrawal of the device to and from the operative site. Once the angioplasty balloon is properly positioned, however, means operatively associated with the embolic filter are actuated to erect the filter to position a filter mesh across the lumen of the vessel.

Abstract: An organizer for use with a school desk includes a tray having a bottom and four integrally formed side walls, a removable divider wall extending between two of the side walls, the divider wall removably retained by connecting features on the intersecting side walls. The removable divider wall includes a plurality of first connectors spaced apart by predetermined distances along the divider wall adapted to removably retain a secondary divider, and at least one side wall opposite the divider has a plurality of second connectors spaced apart corresponding to the first connectors of the divider and adapted to removably retain the secondary divider. Each corresponding first connector and second connector are adapted to removably retain the secondary divider therebetween.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve includes a lever plate, a first spring, a fitting, and a guide assembly. The fitting has a first side, a second side, and a flange having a rounded end and includes a surface with which a first end of the first spring contacts. The guide assembly has two sides, two concavities, and at least a portion of the guide assembly extends through the opening of the lever plate, the first concavity is formed on the first side of the guide assembly and contacts the fitting flange rounded end, and the second concavity is aligned coaxially with the first concavity. A rounded end of a rod of the diaphragm assembly contacts the second concavity. The second spring is adapted to supply a second force against the diaphragm assembly to move the lever plate in a second direction that is substantially opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A modular cargo containment wall system includes a floor or floor liner, and first and second types of containment walls referred to herein alternatively as first and second wall members. The floor or floor liner has upwardly disposed parallel arrays of first tenons mounted thereon. The floor or floor liner are alternatively referred to herein are intended to encompass all manner of flooring or floor liners, whether or not removable.

Abstract: An electrical cable that minimizes frequency sensitive group delay for consumer products and industrial use. A method constructing an electrical cable that minimizes frequency sensitive group delay for consumer products and industrial use. The cables utilize flat conductor made from resistive conductors. In other embodiments the conductors use a combination of metals where each has a different resistive property.

Abstract: A reverse torque, forward commutation motor driver system for a phased motor rapidly decelerates or “brakes” the motor by exciting, in sequence, a complementary excitation signal in each normal commutation state of the forward state machine, thereby providing an active braking effect. After active braking reduces the rotational velocity of the motor below a threshold, a dynamic braking technique can replace the active braking, wherein high-side drivers are set to an opposite voltage as compared to low-side drivers.
