An assembly for installing mobile radio antenna systems that do not cause any passive intermodulation interferences. The assembly includes brackets for clamping around conduits, support bars, support plates, arms, frame, and the like for coupling different components of the mobile radio antenna system. The brackets, threaded rods, threaded bolts, hex nuts, and the like of the assembly are made from plastic to avoid generating interferences.

A robotic system adapted to deploy from a police vehicle for inspecting a suspect vehicle has a robot unit and a carrier unit. The robot unit includes a robot base having a drive system responsive to a control unit having a robot transceiver, and a camera operably mounted on robot unit for inspecting the suspect vehicle. A primary display adapted to be operably positioned within the police vehicle functions for displaying the images from the camera. A remote control unit, also adapted to be operably positioned within the police vehicle, enables the user to operably control the control unit of the robot unit. The carrier unit includes a carrier housing that pivots between a raised position for carrying the robot unit, and a lowered position for deploying the robot unit.

A vehicle disabling device for disabling a fleeing vehicle has a carriage that is projected from a launch platform using a plurality of elongate extension tubes. The plurality of elongate extension tubes are pneumatically actuated with a tank of compressed air operably connected to the plurality of elongate extension tubes with a pneumatic hose. The carriage includes a pair of carriage wheels and is adapted for rectilinear movement in front of a pursuit vehicle. The carriage also includes a first arm and a second arm connected pivotally to the carriage. A plurality of spikes are disposed along the first and second arms, adapted to puncture the tires of the fleeing vehicle once the fleeing vehicle has run over one of the first and second arms.

Several pin transfer assemblies are disclosed that utilize the surface tension of liquids for picking up and dispensing minute volumes of liquid from wells in a first well plate to a flat substrate surface or into wells in a second well plate. In one embodiment, a plurality of pins reciprocate through complementary arrays of holes in a base plate and an overlying spring plate biased apart by coil springs located around the periphery of the base plate. A foam layer sits on top of the spring plate and a weight plate sits on top of the foam layer. A single coil spring is positioned between a center of the weight plate and the cover to push the weight plate downwardly. The periphery of the cover guides the vertical movement of the weight plate and is connected to the periphery of the base plate. The periphery of the base plate is supported by a frame used to register the pin assembly in a receptacle of a manual or automated liquid transfer apparatus.

A pin replicator is disclosed for dispensing minute volumes of liquid onto a substrate surface in an array in connection with drug discovery, diagnostic analysis, and other applications. The pin replicator comprises a base plate, a plurality of pins reciprocable through corresponding holes in the base plate, and a free floating weight plate resting on top of the upper ends of the pins. The weight plate biases the pins toward their fully extended lowered positions. A cover attaches to the base plate, encloses the pins and weight plate and guides the weight plate during vertical movement thereof. The pin replicator can be moved downwardly toward a first micro titer plate so that a lower end of each of the pins contacts the sample liquid in the corresponding well a sufficient amount to pick up and retain a small quantity of the sample liquid due to surface tension. The pin replicator can thereafter be moved downwardly toward a second micro titer plate so that the lower end of each of the pins is sufficiently close to a corresponding well of the second micro titer plate so that the small quantity of the sample liquid on the lower end of each of the pins contacts an upper surface of the corresponding well of the second micro titer plate.

A circuit board interconnect system includes a carrier board with a hybrid solder ball and pin grid array. A plurality of electrically conductive pins extend through the carrier board and are arranged in rows and columns to form a grid array. A first circuit board such as a multi-chip module (MCM) board has a plurality of conductive pads or traces formed on a lower surface thereof that are arranged to form a complementary grid array, i.e. the spacing and location of the conductive pads or traces corresponds to the spacing and location of the pins. A plurality of solder balls are provided with each ball being positioned on top of a corresponding pin so that each solder ball forms a solder connection between a pin and a corresponding conductive pad or trace. A second circuit board such as a computer mother board has a pin connector mounted on an upper surface thereof for individually receiving and providing electrical connection with each of the pins. After reflow, the solder balls wrap around the side walls of the heads of the pins and the side walls of the pads. The resulting generally spherical solder connections are therefore much stronger than conventional elongated fillet connections.

A printed circuit board assembly which comprises a plurality of primary printed circuit boards, a plurality of card edge connectors, at least one secondary printed circuit board and means for predictable separation of the boards from each other. Each of the card edge connectors is fixedly mounted to a respective primary printed circuit board. The secondary printed circuit board is directly removably connected between two card edge connectors. The secondary printed circuit board has an aperture at an edge which is inserted into a card edge connector. The aperture is contacted by a spring element in the card edge connector providing the means for predictable separation of the boards from each other.

Printed circuit board assembly

A card edge connector comprising a housing, electrical contacts, and ejectors. The housing has a middle section with a card edge receiving area, two guide projections at opposite ends of the middle section, and a keeper section. The electrical contacts extend from the middle section, through the keeper, to a bottom of the housing. The housing is suitably configured to receive a daughter printed circuit board at an angle of about 30.degree. relative to a mother printed circuit board. The ejectors are adapted to lock the daughter board to the connector and, eject the daughter board from the connector.

Angled card edge connector

A combined electrical connector and connector nesting assembly has a frame with a first section adapted to receive an edge of a printed circuit board and a second section adapted to receive a connector of a cable assembly. The first section has a card edge receiving slot and spring contacts can be inserted thereinto. The second section is located parallel to, but offset from the first section such that when a printed circuit board is inserted into the assembly, a connector located in the second section can receive contact pins projecting from the printed circuit board. The assembly frame can be snap-locked into an electronic component chassis and the connector can be snap-locked into the second section of the frame.

Modular connector frame

A card edge connector of the type used to connect a daughter printed circuit board with a mother printed circuit board. The connector has a housing, a plurality of signal contacts, and an electromagnetic grounding shield to prevent electromagnetic impulses from generating or degrading signals in the signal contacts.
