  • Method for obtaining electrical signals correlated with the position of a mass of mercury in instruments and the like
    Patent number: 5224385
    Abstract: A method of obtaining electrical signals corresponding to the position of a mercury mass movable within a vessel, characterized by the fact that the position of the moving mass within the vessel is detected by means of at least one electromagnetic proximity sensor, specifically an induction proximity sensor, that is a sensor adapted to producing an electrical signal when approached by a metal object or when approaching the same.
    Type: Grant

  • Rectifier spacer/mounting assembly
    Patent number: 4941069
    Abstract: A spacer/mounting assembly preferably comprised of molded plastic is adapted for mounting a four lead power dissipating electronic component, e.g., a rectifier, on a printed circuit (PC) board. The spacer/mounting assembly includes a center aperture and four peripheral apertures. Each of the four peripheral apertures includes a funnel-shaped upper end to facilitate insertion of a respective component lead therethrough to allow the lower end of each of the leads to be attached to and coupled in circuit on the PC board. The center aperture is keyed to receive and engage either a nut or screw head and includes a pair of resilient looking tabs adapted to engage and maintain the nut (or screw) in position within the spacer/mounting assembly. A power dissipating electronic component as well as an optional heat sink may then be easily mounted on an upper portion of the assembly in a secure manner.
