Abstract: A grinder pump basin system is provided which includes a basin; a cover plate; a bracket secured to the cover plate; and a grinder pump with cutter plate with openings and a cutter blade secured to the bracket above a bottom surface of the basin. The openings in the cutter plate have an unique shape which assists in the cutting of material which flows through an inlet of a grinder pump. The shape of the cutter blade cooperates with the openings in the cutter plate such that solids are forced between these respective components and thereby are efficiently cut into small pieces for passing through the openings and for discharge from the grinder pump basin system.

Abstract: A closure comprises a hub with a central opening and a head pivotally connected to the hub, the head sealing the central opening when in a closed position. A lip seal relief is defined by a stepped surface between the head and the hub so that when the head is closed, the relief or clearance is provided between the head and hub inhibiting damage to a seal.

Abstract: A closure comprises a hub with a central opening and a head positionable within the hub, the head sealing the central opening when in a closed position, a spool rotatable about a post extending from the head, wherein rotation of the spool causes axial movement of the spool along the post, a plurality of radial arms extending from the spool to a plurality of locking segments.

Abstract: A grinder pump basin system is provided which includes a basin; a cover plate; a bracket secured to the cover plate; and a grinder pump with cutter plate with openings and a cutter blade secured to the bracket above a bottom surface of the basin. The bracket includes a front portion, which prevents waste water from interacting adversely with the grinder pump when it enters the basin. A discharge system for the grinder pump is secured to an outlet of the grinder pump and includes a discharge pipe and a flexible discharge coupling. Flow directional jets are also provided in an elbow of the pump discharge system to direct waste water and solids away from the grinder pump.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a heat spreader module for dissipating thermal heat generated by electronic components. The assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB), electronic components disposed on the PCB, a thermal interface material (TIM) thermally coupled to the electronic components, and a heat spreader plate thermally coupled to the TIM. The heat spreader plate includes an embossed pattern. Consequently, surface area available for heat conduction between the heat spreader plate and surrounding medium may be increased relative to the prior art designs.

Abstract: An IC chip assembly includes a chip having an array of exposed contacts at a first face thereof, a substrate having an array of exposed contacts at a face thereof and a compliant interposer with exposed contacts at opposite faces thereof positioned between the chip and substrate so that contacts on the opposite faces of the interposer engage the contacts on said chip and substrate, respectively. A thermal transfer member contacts the opposite face of the chip and is engaged to the substrate so as to compress the interposer thereby simultaneously establishing relatively low inductance electrical connections between the chip contacts and the substrate contacts and good thermal contact between the chip and the thermal transfer member. The assembly is particularly adapted to provide power to the chip of a TAB-type integrated circuit assembly which includes a flexible lead frame connected between the chip and the substrate.
