A semiconductor laser mount is disclosed for use in high frequency (>500 Mb/s) applications. The mount comprises a stripline transmission path and resistive element formed in series with the optical device. Since the current sources used to modulate optical devices at these bit rates have a large impedance relative to that of the optical devices, the stripline is used as an impedance controlling network to provide frequency independent coupling from the signal source to the device and the resistive element is used to compensate the variation of the impedance of the device to essentially match that of the stripline. Since the impedance of individual optical devices may vary, the resistive element is sized to provide optimum matching. Both the stripline and resistive element are integrated with the mount material to form a monolithic structure. Additionally, low frequency optical device inputs may be formed on an isolated portion of the mount to increase the versatility of the arrangement by increasing the operable bandwidth of the optical device.

A post cap and accessory assembly for pilings. Continued development resulted in refinements for accessory mounting and security, and improved adaptability of the caps to varying piling diameters and non-piling applications. Single accessory mounts afford greater ability to satisfy individual accessory needs and combination brackets broadly increase the mountability of accessories. An extension bracket provides side and top mounting positions beyond the original positions. A special electrical design permits electrical accessories mounted to a grooved base and wired to its electrical contacts to repetitively engage and disengage mating contacts for power hookup provided within a winged pedestal base so that the electrical accessories attached to the grooved base may be quickly attached or removed as desired while leaving the winged pedestal permanently installed. Easily operated wire locks are provided on all accessory mounts and are instantly released by fingertip force. Screws at all accessory mounting positions can be deployed to prevent the instant removal of an accessory, thereby adding an increased security measure. Special sizing sleeves, installable in all caps, reduce the manufacturing costs of the caps and enhance the fitting of the caps to piling diameters. Other means allow the caps to be adaptable to non-circular shapes.

An off-line system for handling elongated magnetic articles such as axially leaded diodes 12 includes a magnetic receiving chute 20, a blocking mechanism 45, a magnetic loading station 75 for supporting at least one tray 55 and for loading diodes 12 therein, and a drive train 115. The chute 20 receives the diodes 12 and guides such diodes downwardly to an outlet 24 and the tray 55. Over a major accessible face of the tray 55 a cover 63 is slidably removable from a second end 60. At the loading station 75, the tray 55 is disposed in an upright manner resting on the second end 60 at a first elevation with a first end 59 extending at least to the outlet 24 of chute 20. An elevating mechanism 80 applied to the end 60 elevates tray 55 to a second elevation, while the cover 63 remains at about the first elevation. A portion of tray 55 is thereby opened adjacent the first end 59 which opening abuts to and registers with the outlet 24 of chute 20. The blocking mechanism 45 has stored diodes 12 in chute 20 while a tray 55 has been changed and mechanism 45 now releases the diodes 12 which are introduced into tray 55. Loading station 75 includes magnetic assemblies 100 and 108 which maintain orientation of the diodes 12 as they are loaded into a tray 55. When a machine count indicates that tray 55 is loaded, the mechanism 45 blocks further advancement of diodes 12 in chute 20. A ram mechanism 95 pushes the tray 55 downwardly to the first elevation while the cover 63 is slidably closed therealong. In a computer controlled operation, the drive train 115 advances the loaded tray 55 away from and an empty tray 55 into the loading station 75 to continue the loading with a minimum of operator attention.
摘要:
Elongated articles (13), having an undesirable shape caused by a bent lead (14), are distinguished from elongated articles (12) which are desirably straight. The bent articles (13) are separated from a mass of articles (12 and 13), most of which are substantially straight. The articles (12 and 13) are typically axially leaded diodes having leads (14) which are magnetic. Such diodes (12 and 13) are successively introduced between sidewalls (11 and 22) of a bin (17) having a magnetic field which orients each article transverse to guide members (28 and 29) extending lengthwise of the bin (17). Each oriented diode (12 and 13) presents a distinctive configuration according to its shape when viewed against a plane transverse to the guide members (28 and 29). The major portion of a bent diode (13) will be disposed lower than the major portion of a straight diode (12). The diodes (12 and 13 ) are advanced in succession along the guide members (28 and 29) and the configurations of the diodes (12 and 13) form substantially parallel pathways through the bin (17). An interposing and separating mechanism (34) is located in the bin (17) adjacent to the pathways of the diodes (12 and 13). The mechanism (34) interposes at least one member (32) between the pathway of a diode (12) which is substantially straight and the pathway of a diode (13) which is unacceptably bent. The bent diode (13) strikes the interposed member (32) and becomes disoriented in the magnetic field of the bin (17). The bent diode (13) falls away from the guide members (28 and 29) and is drawn downwardly through an exit port (18) into an exit chute (44) which has a magnetic field to orient the diode (13). The straight didode (12) passes over the interposing member (32) and continues to advance along the guide members (28 and 29) to an outlet end (21) of the bin (17).
摘要:
A fluid dispensing anti-burglar device is disclosed from which a pressurized fluid such as tear gas is discharged, when an unauthorized movement of an object is attempted. The anti-burglar device employs a security cable which will permit limited movement of the object but will cause the release of the pressurized fluid when the security cable is severed or removed from its terminations.

A mechanism 30 ejects an article 12 in an ascending path from a position 10 on a carrier wheel 20. An inverted "V" shaped trough 43 is located to face the ascendent path of the article 12, and to be oriented substantially parallel thereto. The article 12 is captured and removably held in an apex portion 49 of the trough 43 by an elongated magnet 56 which establishes a force field parallel to such trough 43, concentrating in the apex portion 49. The article 12 is also oriented by magnet 56 and the apex portion 49 of trough 43 in a desired direction. An air nozzle 60 has a needle-like tube 64 disposed in the apex portion 49 ending adjacent to a body 16 of an article 12. A hose fitting 66 is attached to tube 64 for introducing an air stream therein which impinges upon body 16 and propels article 12 in the desired direction.

Elongated magnetic articles 12 are transferred directly from a magnetic bin 17 and transported on a member 80 having deep slots 84 to retain the articles 12 for treatment. In a preferred example, the articles 12 include some articles 13 having undesirably shaped leads 14 and the treatment comprises lead straightening.A system of magnets 30 generates a magnetic field in the bin 17 which suspends and orients a supply of the articles 12 and 13 such that a dense, rotating pattern of articles is formed and urged against member 80. A pair of supports 57 and 58 limit the depth of the slots 84 at a first level to prevent more than one article 12 or 13 to enter therein. As an entered article 12 or 13 advances beyond the supply of articles, the supports 57 and 58 are discontinued and the entered article moves to a second level.Portions of the magnets in the bin 17 are advantageously extended, without discontinuities, along the edges of the transport area to form a system of magnets 34 which communicates from end to end of the articles 12 and 13 as they are advanced along the first and second levels. A system of magnets 70 generates a magnetic field directed inwardly of the slots 84 to attract the articles 12 and 13 to the first level and another system of magnets 55 generates a magnetic field transversely of member 80 to stabilize the articles in the slots 84. System 70 also generates a series of inwardly directed magnetic fields to attract the articles 12 and 13 and to retain them at the second level until they reach the treatment area.
摘要:
To eliminate the manual handling of individual articles associated with loading and unloading conventional treating apparatus, a plurality of articles are simultaneously treated in the carriers which are used for batch handling prior to and subsequent to the treating operation. In a disclosed embodiment, wafer-shaped articles are held in mutually spaced substantially parallel relationship in a plurality of slots in a first carrier having an open face through which the wafers can be inserted and removed. The open face of the first carrier is abutted to the open face of an empty second carrier having at least a corresponding plurality of slots, such that the slots of the first carrier are aligned with the slots of the second carrier. The abutted carriers, with the wafers contained therein, are submersed in a treating medium and rotated about an axis running through the abutted faces of the carriers. The speed of rotation is maintained sufficient to produce rolling of the wafers through the axis, back and forth between the carriers.
