  • Patent number: 9938752
    Abstract: An electronic device sealing arrangement includes a housing, an access door, a sealing member sized and configured to be sealingly compressed between the access door and the housing, a latch in operable communication with the housing and the access door, the latch being configured to compress the sealing member between the access door and the housing when moved to a position that latches the access door in a closed position, and a resilient member in operable communication with the latch and at least one of the housing and the access door, the resilient member being configured to at least partially compress when the access door is latched in the closed position and the sealing member is compressed between the access door and the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9756273
    Abstract: A multi-tiered approach to combating reverse engineering of electronics is disclosed herein. The encapsulant utilized with the optical sensor may be selected based on being substantially being opaque to X-ray inspection. In this way, visible public inspection to gain competitive intelligence may be reduced and operation of the electronics may remain unaffected. Additionally, a thin filament of wire embedded just below the surface of the encapsulant could be used as an electronic tripwire in response to being severed and/or dissolved by the reverse engineering strong solvents and acids.

  • Patent number: 7391514
    Abstract: A calorimeter for measuring a color of light includes a color sensing device, a suspension means and a counterweight. The suspension means suspends the color sensing device in an operative relationship relative to a color producing device, while the counterweight is secured to the suspension means and balances the color sensing device in the operative relationship relative to the color producing device.

  • Patent number: 7133133
    Abstract: A colorimeter for measuring a color of light includes a color sensing device, a hanging means, and a means for reducing color distortion. The hanging means hangs the color sensing device in an operative relationship relative to a color producing device. The means for reducing color distortion reduces color distortion on the color producing device While the color sensing device is in the operative relationship relative to the color producing device.
