The housing includes a front surface that faces the building space when the temperature sensing device is mounted to the structure. The housing further includes a protrusion that protrudes from the front surface into the building space. The temperature sensing device further includes a mounting device within the housing and a temperature sensor mounted to the mounting device, the mounting device holding the temperature sensor within the protrusion.
Abstract:
Apparatus and a method for mixing a liquid within a disposable aspirating probe tip so that most of the liquid is forced to move past a transition zone between two different inside diameters to cause rotational mixing. The apparatus and method can be used to provide agglutination of blood, which in turn can be used for blood typing. The probe tip can include a single integral piece, or two separate portions. The transition zone can include a sharp demarcation between inside diameters, or a smooth one.

Abstract:
This invention provides a manufacturing method of printed wiring board which enables a plate-like substrate to be carried and processed without any contact to its product surface. End portions of plate-like copper clad laminates are overlapped vertically and then joined linearly by rotating an ultrasonic horn along the end portions. Consequently, copper foils can be metal-joined and a joining strength necessary for transportation with a roller is obtained. Because belt-like copper clad laminate is obtained by joining the plate-like copper clad laminates and after that, processed, thus, the belt-like copper clad laminate can be carried without any contact to its product surface as it is carried with the roller, and then processed.
Abstract:
A system has a circuit board, an integrated circuit being mounted on the circuit board by external contacts, and a cover irreversibly connected to the circuit board. The cover covers the external contacts so that external access to the external contacts is prohibited by the cover.
Abstract:
Take three sheets of any material. Sheets can be cut into any shape, utilizing any shape. In middle sheet cut out channels/slots/plenum to accommodate electrical wiring. In top sheet cut out holes through which wiring will be threaded from one electrical connection to another. Holes allow access to wiring and allowing wires to be connected to the electrical support for each light/light bulb. Sandwich all three sheets together to create a rigid platform. Dependent on material selected, grounding of circuitry may be required through alternate means. Cut out holes in lower sheet to accommodate optional [amended 6/29/2007] downward facing light on a separate circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a temperature sensing device with a first temperature sensor mounted to a housing at a first location proximate a first surface of the housing. The first temperature sensor senses a first temperature while a second temperature sensor senses a second temperature. A processor circuit is coupled to the first and second temperature sensors and a mounting device is coupled to either the housing or the processor circuit. The mounting device mounts the second temperature sensor at a second location proximate a second surface of the housing which is spaced apart from the first surface. The processor circuit is configured to estimate a third temperature based on the first and second temperatures and a distance between the first and second locations which is an estimate of a temperature at a third location.
Abstract:
An illumination device comprising a connection carrier (1), at least one light-emitting diode (10), an electrically insulating layer (3) and a fixing device (4) is specified. The connection carrier (1) has a first main area (1a) and a second main area (1b) remote from the first main area. The light-emitting diode (10) is fixed on the first main area (1a) of the connection carrier (1). The electrically insulating layer (3) is fitted to the second main area (1b) of the connection carrier (1) and projects laterally beyond the second main area (1b) of the connection carrier (1). The fixing device (4) is suitable for fixing the illumination device to a mounting area (2a) of a carrier (2), wherein the electrically insulating layer (3) is arranged between the second main area (1b) of the connection carrier (1) and the mounting area (2a) of the carrier (2). Furthermore, the fixing device (4) presses the connection carrier (1) against the mounting area (2a). The pressure exerted in this way is used to effect a fixing of the insulating layer (3) between the second main area (1b) of the connection carrier (1) and the mounting area (2a). The fixing device (4) is connected to an optical element (8), which optically influences the light generated by the light-emitting diode (10) during operation.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes a circuit board having a printed board and an electronic component mounted to the printed board, a housing for receiving the circuit board therein, and a connector mounted to the printed board. Top and bottom walls of the housing have board-fixing means for fixing the circuit board to the housing. The connector has a connector-fixing portion that extends along the printed board and is placed on a first surface portion of the printed board. The connector-fixing portion is fixed to the first surface portion by connector-fixing means such as a screw. The connector-fixing portion and a second surface portion, opposite to the first surface portion, of the printed board are sandwiched between the board-fixing means so that the circuit board is fixed to the housing.
