  • Patent number: 9105819
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus comprising a circuit board supporting semiconductor components and traces or conductors for supplying electrical energy to the semiconductor components, and a connection arrangement by which the conductors are connected to a power supply cable, the circuit board being covered by an electrically insulating encapsulating layer, a molded frame part is mounted on the circuit board so as to cover the connection arrangement, the molded frame part having a circumferential edge structure which extends on one end into the encapsulating layer and at the other end projects above the encapsulating layer so as to create an interior space which, when the encapsulating layer is at least partially cured, is filled with additional encapsulating compound to form, after curing, a relatively thick protective layer over the wire or cable and conductor connecting area.

  • Publication number: 20130289507
    Abstract: The current invention is a garment Drainage bag attachment and process that can be used with any garment or article of clothing. It can be attached to a user's own garment or it can be sold as part of the garment specially made to be sold to Drainage bag users. It consists of a strip of material with two buttons attached in parallel. These buttons are spaced so that they match the slots in the Drainage bag. The strip is attached to the garment a little below waist high on either the slight forward left or slight forward right of the bottom garment, such as pants, shorts or dress being worn by the user.

  • Patent number: 8093609
    Abstract: In a light emitting diode arrangement for lighting purposes, comprising a circuit board with at least one light generating semiconductor element disposed on the circuit board and conductors extending on the circuit board to the semiconductor element and being electrically connected to terminals of the semiconductor element, a light transmissive element is disposed on the circuit board and covers the semiconductor element and a flame resistant cover element is disposed below the light transmissive element and on top of the terminals to cover the terminals to provide for electrical and flame insulation thereof.

  • Patent number: 5902430
    Abstract: Methods for making linear acoustic antennas designed to be towed behind a boat, wherein open-cell foam cylinders (101) are opened lengthwise (103) and electroacoustic receiver modules (101) are placed therein. After closing the cylinders, they are arranged end-to-end and a series of layers of porous nonwoven material, reinforcing nets (111) and wiring cables are wound around the cylinder surfaces. Finally, a protective sheath is extruded onto the cylinders and their end portions are joined together. The manufacture of such antennas may thus be mechanised using cable technologies.
