A circuit board and vapor chamber are disclosed. Connectors couple the vapor chamber to a circuit board. The connectors extend from the bottom of the vapor chamber. The connectors fix the vapor chamber to the circuit board such that the bottom of the vapor chamber thermally couples to a heat source on the circuit board. The circuit board has a connector assembly that couples to the vapor chamber.

Thermal solution as an effective EMI shield

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a closure assembly for use with a container (e.g., an aerosol can). The closure assembly includes a skirt and a protective cap. In some embodiments, a lock feature temporarily attaches the protective cap to the container and increases a force required for a user to remove the protective cap. In some embodiments, an inner lock opening of the skirt is configured to be registered with an outer lock opening to receive a locking element therethrough. In some embodiments, a set screw is positioned in the skirt to selectively allow or inhibit relative rotation between the skirt and the protective cap. In some embodiments, a biasing element selectively allows or inhibits engagement of threads of the protective cap with the threads of the skirt depending upon application of an axial force to overcome a biasing force of the biasing element.

Rack-mount stackable hub and switch

A substrate (200) to which a component (210) is mounted includes at least two mounting pads (215, 220) formed thereon for electrically coupling to a single terminal of the component (210) and for aligning the component (210) on the substrate (200) during a reflow operation.

Battery housing

A method and an apparatus provide a surface mountable package (100) with leads (150) having free end portions (355) coplanar in a target plane (370). The method includes forming the leads (150) such that the free end portions (355) angle away from the target plane (370), and biasing the free end portions (355) against a biasing surface (365) integral to the package (100) such that the free end portions (355) are forced toward the target plane (370) and into a coplanar state. The apparatus includes a housing (110), a plurality of leads (150) with free end portions (355) preformed to angle away from the target plane (370) mounted onto the housing (110), and a biasing surface (365), located on the package (100), to bias the free end portions (355) toward the target plane (370).

A telephone system employs a novel message system for calling parties. The switch controller includes selectable and programmable announcement machines, while the telephone devices include indicators which allow call transferees the ability to determine the reason the call was transferred, e.g., the called telephone was busy, did not answer or the called telephone party is in conference. When desired, a telephone party is capable of programming the switch controller to reply to any particular incoming phone calls with one of a number of customized or preselected messages.
