Abstract: A hinge assembly allows an access panel to be pivotally coupled to a cabinet, even though the cabinet includes a top cover that overlaps an upper edge of the panel. To open the access panel, a latch is actuated to first release a lower edge of the panel. The hinge assembly then allows the lower edge to be pulled out from over a base rail of the cabinet. Once the lower edge is off of the base rail, the hinge assembly allows the panel to be lowered without obstruction from the base rail. Lowering the panel then moves the panel's upper edge out from underneath the overlapping top cover. From there, the hinge assembly allows the panel to be swung open. To close the access panel, the process is reversed.

Abstract: A table including a one-piece, monolithic plastic top part having a reinforcing rib structure integral therewith and a reinforcing rail arrangement. The rib structure includes a main flange which extends generally downwardly from the lower side of the top part and an edge wall which also extends downwardly and forms a periphery thereof. The edge wall is spaced-apart from and surrounds the main flange. A pair of pivotable leg assemblies are connected to the top at the lower side thereof. The reinforcing rib structure includes a plurality of cross ribs which extend between the edge wall and the main flange on the lower side of the top part. A handle member is also provided on and extends downwardly from the lower side of the top part and is integral therewith for manipulating the table during transport thereof.

Abstract: An intelligent asynchronous controller (IAC) for use in operably coupling a plurality of asynchronous input/output (I/O) devices to a host central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed. The IAC is designed and programmed to control the transfer of data between the plurality of I/O devices and the CPU, to perform character processing on the data received from the I/O devices before transmission to the host CPU and to perform other types of data processing.
