Filed:

Jun 8, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/589850

Inventors:

Anthony A. Russo - Elmwood Park IL 60707

International Classification:

B23H 726

US Classification:

219 6915, 279 83, 403362

Abstract:

An electrical discharge machining system including a fixture for the post which allows the post to be mounted and clamped thereto in a precise predetermined position thereon whether the post has a round cross-sectional configuration or a polygonal shape thereto. In a preferred form, the fixture includes a bore for a round shaped post having an indexing pin which seats in a groove formed in an upper surface of the fixture and is clamped therein by clamp members actuated by cam clamp operators. The clamping of the pin in the groove keeps the post rigid and stationary relative to the fixture to provide for improved results when the electrode is subject to machining operations. In addition, because the clamping mechanism herein does away with the previously-described hydraulic clamping device utilized with prior fixtures, there are no hydraulic lines or connections that have to be set up and maintained to provide an easier-to-use fixture for use with the tool holding system.

International Classification:

H05K 1/14

US Classification:

361804, 361742, 361758, 361770, 174138 E, 174138 G

Abstract:

A stand-off having a flange and a projecting portion extending from the flange is integrated with a first substrate, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB), by forming a hole in the PCB, inserting the projecting portion of the stand-off through the hole, and attaching a second substrate to the first substrate with the flange therebetween. The flange can be at least partially received by a relief formed in one of the substrates or in an aperture in an adhesive layer between the two substrates. The stand-off can be further secured to the PCB using one or more of adhesives, interference fit techniques, snap-assembly features, and other applicable techniques. Alternatively, the stand-off can be attached to a substrate using a sliding snap feature or sliding interference fit. An attachable component can be attached to the projecting portion of the stand-off.

Abstract:

A touch sensor is associated with a housing that is adapted for attachment to the outer perimeter of a fluid conduit. The housing can be attached to the fluid conduit such that the touch sensor can detect the presence of fluid within the fluid conduit. The output of the touch sensor can be used by an indicator or processor.
