Abstract: The filter includes a housing (13) defining a cavity (14). The housing has a fluid inlet orifice (22) and a fluid ou let orifice (24) therein. At least one resonator (16), which is sized to receive and pass a radio frequency signal, is disposed in the cavity. A dielectric fluid (18) fills the cavity. The fluid inlet orifice is configured to supply a first quantity of the dielectric fluid to the cavity and the fluid outlet orifice is configured to remove a second quantity of the dielectric fluid from the cavity, so that the dielectric fluid is continuously replaced.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, the foregoing needs are addressed by a splicing tool for joining a first tube and a second tube, including a first member and a second member which are moveably coupled. The first member has a first handle section and a first mold section. The first mold section has a first groove. The second member has a second handle section and a second mold section. The second mold section has a second groove. The first groove sized to receive at least a portion of a first tube, at least a portion of a second tube and a bonding material. The bonding material attaches the first tube to the second tube when the first and second grooves are substantially aligned and heat is applied to the bonding material.

Abstract: The electronic component (10) has a die (22) and a terminal (14) coupled to the die (22). The substrate has a first side (20) and a second side (82) and a passage (26) therethrough. The terminal (14) is in communication with the first side (20) and the die (22) is disposed within the passage (26). The apparatus includes a cover (16) which encloses the die (22) and a portion of the terminal (14), and has a fixed portion (28) and a removable portion.

The extension region has a surface that is substantially coplanar with the second side (82). There is a space (32) between the extension region and the substrate (18). An adhesive (34) is disposed on the surface of the extension region, extending into the space (32). A sealing frame (36) overlaps the space (32) and is in communication with the adhesive (34) and the second side (82).

Abstract: The apparatus includes a substantially planar plate having a first side and a second side. A plurality of substantially planar fluid distributing manifolds are formed in the first side of the plate, each fluid distributing manifold having a surface recessed relative to at least a portion of the first side of the plate. A nozzle housing is located in the surface of each fluid distributing manifold. The nozzle housing is adapted to receive a nozzle and has a receptacle end and a spray end. The spray end has an aperture, and is in communication with the second side of the plate. The receptacle end is in communication with the surface of one of the plurality of fluid distributing manifolds.

Abstract: The peristaltic pump includes a motor and an assembly driven by the motor.
