Abstract: A socket assembly for a microelectronic device can include a body and a plurality of arm. The body can include a central socket configured to receive a microelectronic device therein. The plurality of arms can each be adjacent to the central socket, where each of the plurality of arms can be rotatably coupled to the body and each of the plurality of arms can be translatable relative to the body to move between an open position and a closed position. The arms can retain a microelectronic device within the central socket when the arms are in the closed position.

Abstract: A method and system for managing one or more high frequency service items associated with a device. A parent/child relationship between the high frequency service items can be defined to track replacement of components based on a service action related to a child component. A taxonomy of related service items and servicing functions can be specified in an XML document associated with the rendering system. The relationship between the high frequency service items can be indicated utilizing a related component indicator and a HFSI counter. A parent component can be replaced by a maintenance operator and an aggregate child component can be rebuilt by a service engineer in order to retain the component life thereby reducing down time and service costs.

Abstract: A method and system for managing field convertible operator replaceable components associated with a rendering device. A file that defines a set of operator replaceable components can be created and remotely installed on the device. The replaceable components associated with the device can be easily changed from a designation as a customer service engineer replacement component to an operator replacement component and vice versa. A determination that an operator is allowed to replace the component can be made based on a training level provided to the operator, the component availability, a usage pattern, and/or a security level. Such an approach enables the operator to perform the majority of maintenance on the device without requiring the services of a field engineer.

The present invention relates broadly to a valve (10) comprising a valve body (14) connected to a valve member (16). The valve body (14) includes a fluid passageway (18) across which the valve member (16) is connected. The valve member (16) includes a plurality of valve elements such as (20A and 20C) which are moveably coupled to the valve body (14) to permit opening and closure of the valve (10). The valve member (16) includes a collapsible opening (22) located at or adjacent an apex of the conical-shaped valve member (16). The valve (10) includes a series of resilient hinges such as (30A and 30C) disposed about a perimeter of the valve member (16). The resilient hinges (30A and 30C) are substantially straight and configured to minimise the force required in deflecting the valve elements such as (20A) to open valve member (16) and expose the collapsible aperture (22).
