Abstract: A compactor has a plunger housing with a door for insertion of waste. The plunger presses waste into a bag on a pallet within an enclosure with panels and a pair of panels in the form of doors at the rear. Side panels, are joined along their lower edges to a floor panel, the side panels supporting the end panels at vertical hinges. There is resilience due to the ability of the various panels to move, in which each side panel is cantilevered about the corner at which it is joined to the floor panel, and the end panels can rotate about the relevant vertical axis of the hinges. As the plunger presses axially to compact waste within a bag when the bag approaches being full.

Abstract: Methodologies and structure are provided for use in association with circuit cards employed in make-before-break systems to reduce or eliminate cross-talk between input and output circuit portions of splitter circuits that may be associated with ADSL/VDSL systems. Shielding structures are positioned as integral portions of printed circuit boards supporting splitter circuits in arrangements that reduce or eliminate signal coupling between parallel spaced conductive circuit card fingers that may be used to couple input and output signals to the high frequency circuits.

Abstract: A housing defines an internal cavity and an opening to the internal cavity. An end cap occludes the opening. Fiber optic cables extend through ports in the end cap. A support frame is connected to the end cap and is positioned in the internal cavity. The support frame includes a support member having opposite front and rear ends. The support frame includes upper and lower front extensions connected to the support member. The front extensions extend away from the support member and divergently with respect to one another. The front extensions are connected to the end cap. Flanges protruding from the front extensions receive strain relief for brackets. Container-like devices for containing optical fibers are carried by opposite sides of the support member. An elongate channel for receiving optical fibers and an elongate opening to the channel extend along the back side of a container-like device carried by the support member.
