Filed:

Aug 17, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/640543

Inventors:

Larry Thomas Cooper - Boulder CO
Brian Michael Kerrigan - Austin TX
John Richard Pugley - Round Rock TX

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H01R 1362

US Classification:

439327, 361801

Abstract:

An apparatus suitable for retaining an electronic component such as a flash memory card within a socket attached to a system motherboard. The apparatus includes a housing that defines an aperture or slot suitably sized for receiving a distal end of the component and at least one arm extending from a first surface of the housing. A distal end of the arm receives a structural element of the system frame. Displacement of the apparatus housing relative to the structural element is restricted when the electronic component is received within the housing and the structural element is received within the receiving structure. The receiving structure may include an upper tab and a lower tab suitably displaced from one another to engage a sheet metal element of the data processing system frame. The arms may comprise a flexible material wherein application of a compressive force on the two arms disengages the tabs from the structural element.

International Classification:

G01N 33/487

US Classification:

73 5301

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present invention provide alcohol monitoring devices, and methods for using such. As one example, an alcohol monitoring device is disclosed that includes a device body, an alcohol sensor, and a liquid cartridge. The alcohol sensor is associated with the device body, and relies on a liquid supply to perform an alcohol measurement on a subject. The liquid cartridge is replaceably coupled to the device body and provides the liquid supply to the alcohol sensor.

Appl. No.:

6/672226

Inventors:

Larry T. Cooper - Berthoud CO
Kenneth R. Primmer - Louisville CO

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G01V 904
B65H 704

US Classification:

2502221

Abstract:

A sheet stacking duplex tray includes a movable finger which separates a first group of sheets under the finger from a second group of sheets above the finger. Sheets which have been copied on only one side are fed to a copy station from the bottom of the tray for second-side copying, as other sheets which have been copied on only one side are fed to the tray, to reside on top of the finger. When all sheets of the first group have been fed, the finger gravity-falls through an opening in the tray. A detector senses this finger movement, and a solenoid then resets the finger to rest on the top sheet of the sheets then in the tray.
