  • Publication number: 20050088805
    Abstract: Surface mount electrolytic capacitors are provided with anode and cathode terminations having respective first termination portions provided on the bottom surface of a molded package in a generally coplanar configuration. A second cathode termination portion is bent in a generally perpendicular fashion to the first cathode termination portion and may then be adhered to the external cathode layer of a capacitor body. A second anode termination portion is bent in a generally perpendicular fashion to the first anode termination portion and may then be welded to an anode wire connected to and extending from the capacitor body. An insulation pad may be provided between the first anode termination portion and the capacitor body to prevent device shorting. A planar termination frame may be provided to form the electrolytic capacitors of the present subject matter.

  • Publication number: 20030209388
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are tree stands that may be removeably and replaceably attached to tree trunks having a wide variety of diameters. Also disclosed herein are tree stands that provide 360° platforms. According to one exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, a tree stand may include a platform, a collar that may be removeably and replaceably attached to a tree trunk and that may include multiple first receiving portions, and multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar. The multiple support bars may be removeably and replaceably insertable into the multiple first receiving portions.
