A document transfer system for receiving a cluster of stacked documents within the first end of an output holder and, by using movable partitions, advancing the clusters to the second end of the output holder, thereby permitting a next document cluster to be received within the output holder at the first end. A document cluster at the second end of the output holder is then, using extendable and retractable gates, transferred from the output holder to a separate holder for further processing.

Document transfer device for multiple pass document sorting machine

A method and apparatus for increasing the throughput of a multiple pass document sorting device that sorts documents into a plurality of output holders by automatically displacing the sorted documents within the receiving areas of each output holder into a transitional area to make the receiving areas available. In this manner a next sorting pass may be initiated, using documents from the transitional area from the output holders, without the need to empty all of the output holders before a sorting pass can be initiated.

A thermal heat transfer member is disclosed for use in electronic or microwave systems with particular application to advanced avionic systems. This thermal heat transfer member for line replaceable module (LRM) comprises; a bottom cover, a grid partition bottom means, a solid thermal plane material fixedly interconnected to the grid partition bottom means, a grid partition top means fixedly interconnected upon the thermal plane, sandwiching the thermal plane between the grid partition top and the grid partition bottom, and finally, a top cover. The utilization of a 'building block' approach and composite high strength heat-conductive materials designed to dissipate heat away from electronic devices and components mounted within the LRM operate to produce a radio frequency LRM of high heat conductivity with reduced weight ideal for utilization in advanced development avionic systems subject to extreme G-force and stress in avionic system operation.

Method of making for RF line replacable modules

A spring-loaded, hand-operated line replaceable module lever is disclosed for use with a plug-in type electronic module in aircraft having a construction adapted for easy installation in or removal from a mating chassis by a person on the flight line even while wearing heavy or bulky gloves. The structure includes a lever/driver blade with an enlarged pivoting thumb grip, which is spring loaded toward the open position, for grasping between thumb and forefinger when the installation cover is removed.
