摘要:
A rolling contactor is described for testing electronic devices having a plurality of very closely spaced, linearly aligned terminals, e.g. ceramic chips (6) containing an array of capacitors, packaged no larger than a single 1206 chip capacitor (0.120 x 0.60). Such chips have like pluralities of linearly aligned terminals (10, 12) along opposite sides. The contactor (2) includes a plurality of juxtaposed contact wheels (20, 24), each wheel being individually suspended by a corresponding cantilever arm (52, 54). The wheels are spaced to register with a line of terminals, and the arms are resilient enough to apply, when flexed, sufficient axial force to their respective wheels to make good contact with the terminals. Two of such multiple rolling contactors can be opposally positioned for simultaneously contacting lines of terminals on opposite sides of a chip array passing therebetween. In such a case, the wheels of one contactor are positioned to impinge registered terminals along one edge of the array, while the wheels of the opposing contactor simultaneously impinge registered terminals along the opposite edge of the array.

A brushless slip ring includes a housing, a plurality of annular spaces (15) disposed in the housing and spaced apart along a common longitudinal axis (A), and a cageless assembly of electrically conductive spherical balls (16) freely rotatably disposed in each of the spaces (15). Each of the spaces is formed between radially inner and outer electrically conductive surfaces of a rotor (12) and stator (14), respectively, and a pair of axially spaced retainer rings. The spherical balls conduct electrical current between the outer and inner surfaces. The balls (16) are rigid and harder than the inner and outer surfaces and are arranged in an annular row. The balls (16) occupy substantially the entire circumference of the space and are freely circumferentially movable relative to one another within the space for making contact with one another.

Ce connecteur électrique rotatif de faible friction (26) est destiné à être utilisé avec des cordons de téléphone spiralés pour empêcher le cordon de se tordre ou se nouer. Ce connecteur est en général fabriqué en un matériau isolant formé par un organe cylindrique interne creux (34) monté de manière télescopique dans un organe cylindrique externe creux (36). Une paire de roulements à bille (58, 60) supporte l'organe externe sur l'organe interne en rotation autour d'un axe longitudinal central. L'organe interne possède une fente longitudinale unique (40) pour recevoir plusieurs anneaux conducteurs continus (42), et des conducteurs flexibles isolés passent au travers de cette fente pour se connecter à ces anneaux. Plusieurs ouvertures sont formées dans la paroi de l'organe externe en alignement avec les anneaux conducteurs, et ces ouvertures contiennent des sphères (68, 70) sollicitées par un ressort et sont en contact de roulement avec les anneaux. L'extérieur de l'organe externe supporte plusieurs anneaux conducteurs fendus (64) qui sont en alignement avec les anneaux continus de l'organe interne ainsi qu'avec certaines des sphères sollicitées par un ressort de manière à maintenir une bonne continuité électrique entre les anneaux continus et les anneaux fendus. Les conducteurs flexibles isolés sont joints à ces anneaux fendus à une extrémité et à une fiche électrique mâle de téléphone (56) à l'extrémité la plus extérieure de l'organe externe. Un manchon isolé (38) est monté sur l'organe externe et il peut comprendre un joint à rotule creux (92) qui supporte la fiche mâle de téléphone lorsque le connecteur est monté de manière fixe sur la base ou le combiné du téléphone.

摘要:
A coupling (30) for the introduction of a bias voltage into a vacuum chamber. The coupling consists of a metallic ball bearing assembly (36), a bearing sleeve or cup (34), and an EMI shielding gasket (42) seated within the bearing sleeve or cup. The ball bearing assembly is fitted within the EMI shielding gasket, about a metallic shaft (32) which, in turn, is coupled to a source of the bias voltage. The bearing sleeve or cup is, in turn, coupled to a rotating component such as a platen, for receiving the bias voltage within the vacuum chamber.
摘要:
A technique facilitates transmission of electric signals across well components which move relative to each other in a wellbore environment. The well components are movably, e.g. rotatably, coupled to each other via one or more conductive bearings. Each conductive bearing has a conductive rolling element which enables relative movement, e.g. rotation, between the well components while simultaneously facilitating transmission of electric signals through the bearing. Portions of the bearing are coupled to each of the well components, and those bearing portions may be connected with electric leads to enable flow of electric signals through the bearing during operation of the system downhole.
