A device for protecting against electrical shock or other hazards from electrical components on a card includes a thin relatively flat one piece member cut and scored to form folding lines, integral latching tabs and natural hinges therein. When placed on the card and folded along the scored lines and natural hinges a protective cover for at least the pin sides and circuit sides of electrical components (modules) is provided. The device is ideally suited to protect electrical components, in situ, on a circuit card.

A sliding connector block system for inserting an electronic device, such as a wireless modem transceiver, housed in a sliding metal tray into an electrical equipment enclosure containing other electronic components and blindly interconnecting the electronic device with another component via a flexible cable secured within a sliding connector block. The metal tray and connector block have flanges that align with a pair of guide rails mounted in the equipment enclosure and allow travel of the tray and connector block along the rails between stops. A bezel bonded to the front of the tray provides a handle for inserting and removing the electronic device. A grounding clip is also provided to ground the flexible cable to the sliding metal tray and rails.

A method is disclosed to increase the critical transition temperature of superconducting materials by the selective application of stress to specific crystal directions. It has been found that by applying tensile stresses in certain directions and compressive stresses in other directions that the critical temperature of superconducting materials can be substantially increased.
