Abstract: A tool assembly for engaging and disengaging a cardlet housing electronic components from a computer environment. The cardlet, in a preferred embodiment is a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cardlet. The tool comprises a carrier having a handle on one end and a plurality of retention features and engaging members on an opposing side. The carrier release mechanism is secured to the carrier and the engaging members such that activating the carrier release mechanism moves the engaging members from a first to a second position such that engagement and disengagement of the carrier and said cardlet housing electronic components can be achieved. In addition, a removable latch release member is also secured to the carrier, the release member having a durable tip for engaging and disengaging latches on the computer cardlet without damaging the cardlet or its surrounding sensitive components.

Abstract: A connector for the interconnection of electrical components, the connector component comprising a framing segment, a planar grid constructed from a plurality of contact support cores, rails, and conductive annular cylinders, wherein the conductive annular cylinders comprising a predetermined geometric configuration, the rails are formed with a plurality of holes that are spaced a predetermined distance apart from one another along length of the body of the rail, and the plurality of contact support cores longitudinally extending through the holes that are formed within the plurality rails and the conductive annular cylinders. The rails and conductive annular cylinders being positioned along the length of a contact support core so that a conductive annular cylinder is positioned in the spacing between rails, further, the plurality conductive annular cylinders physically protrude beyond the width of the bodies of the plurality rails to form a conductive contact area surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for displacing an article including first and second pallets for holding and transporting an article between two process stations; an H-bar assembly for receiving the first and second pallets at one of the two process stations; wherein, in operation, a process is performed on the articles while the first and second pallets are received by the H-bar assembly, the pallets then being transported to the second process station where a second process is performed on the articles.
