  • Patent number: 6986230
    Abstract: A foldable truss member suitable for commercial displays includes a plurality of side members that are hingedly connected together. The side members include support members and bridging members having extensions. The side members are joined into a foldable structure with a hinge member between the support member and extensions of adjacent side members. The truss includes frictional hinge surfaces that hold the truss member in a deployed configuration. A display structure can be formed by connecting a locking frame between two truss members.

  • Patent number: 6095697
    Abstract: A rigid alignment of a fixture connection to a chip having the rigidity of the connection transferred from the chip to a chip holder. The chip has an alignment feature that has a specific position relative to a device on the chip to which another device of a fixture is to be aligned. An alignment fixture has an alignment feature and a device site which aligns with the alignment feature and the device on the chip, respectively. The alignment fixture has a fastener on the chip holder. The chip is moveable on the holder and is moved until the alignment features of the fixture are aligned, which also results in the alignment of the device site with the device. The chip is attached with glue or solder to the holder. The alignment fixture is removed and substituted with a connector interface fixture having no alignment feature relative to the chip but rather an alignment mechanism to the block that the chip is attached.
