  • Patent number: 11549534
    Abstract: A fastener system for securing a panel to a frame comprises one or more rotating fasteners installed in the perimeter edge of the panel. In operation, one or more cam surfaces of the fastener engage receiving surfaces of a receiver on the frame such that, upon rotation of each fastener, the panel is drawn toward the frame. In some embodiments, the panel is moved in a first direction parallel to the panel and a second direction perpendicular to the panel or in a composite diagonal direction inclined relative to the panel. The fastener system may facilitate compression of seals disposed along the perimeter edge of the panel and between a side of the panel and rabbet ledge of the frame and may further facilitate removal and maintenance of the panel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6489797
    Abstract: A test system for testing at least one electrical component includes a test head having a mounting assembly for removably attaching the electrical component, and a plurality of test ports for electrically coupling to the electrical component. The test system further includes a voltage and current source located within the test head. The voltage and current source is constructed and arranged so as to provide at least one electrical output, through an interface assembly, to the electrical component. The electrical output has a voltage magnitude within a predetermined voltage range and has a current magnitude within a predetermined current range. The voltage and current source further analyzes the electrical output so as to detect and measure one or more changes to the electrical output caused by the electrical component. The voltage and current source also receives and analyzes a plurality of response signals through the interface assembly from the signal ports of the electrical component.
