  • Publication number: 20140319988
    Abstract: A self-contained display system cabinet products, for placement in an empty compartment of a pallet rack shelving unit. The display system includes a floor, ceiling and interconnecting side walls and rear wall. Along the left side wall are arranged plural upright pivotable panels which extend from a short distance above the floor to a short distance below the ceiling. Each panel may move about an axis at the hinge end of the panel and the axes of the succeeding panels are offset laterally and from front to rear of the display. The panels are manually rotatable and the rear face of a first panel includes display materials which coordinate with the materials attached to the front face of the next adjacent panel. When rotated to open position, a panel is perpendicular to the rear wall, while in its closed position it is parallel to the rear wall.

  • Patent number: 6517258
    Abstract: The invention is an optoelectronic device including a semiconductor photodetector enclosed within a plastic housing. The housing includes a wall with an aperture therein for receiving optical signals. The photodetector is mounted to a flexible film which is, in turn, mounted to the housing so that the photodetector is aligned with the aperture. The device may further include a receptacle mounted to the wall for receiving an optical fiber aligned with the aperture and the photodetector.
