摘要:
A sealed thermostat includes a body, electrical leads extending from the body for electrically connecting the thermostat to a system, a sheath sized to encapsulate the body and having a wall terminating at an open end, the sheath being disposed around the body with at least one of the electrical leads extending from the open end, and a sealant disposed in the open end around at least one electrical lead and between at least one electrical lead and the wall, thereby sealing the body within the sheath. The sealant and sheath substantially completely isolate the body from gasses capable of being ignited by an arc within the body.

A heating unit for use in heating a fluid storage and dispensing system includes a wall module and a lid module. The modules include cover layers. Each module may include a heating component disposed between the cover layers and which is configured to convert electrical energy to heat energy and to distribute the heat energy. The heating component includes a heat generating element for converting electrical current to heat energy and a heat spreading element comprising carbon thermally coupled to the heat generating element. The modules may further include a thermal insulation layer. The modules may also include a receiving power connector electrically connected to the heat generating element.
摘要:
The present invention provides thin-laminate panels (i.e., thin-laminate panels having dielectric layers of about 0.006 inches or less and conductive layers on either side of the dielectric layer), wherein the edges of the dielectric layers of the panels are free of conductive material, such as copper. The thin-laminate panel is designed to provide necessary capacitance for all or a substantial number of the integrated circuits to be formed thereon. The thin-laminate panels of the present invention may be tested for manufacturing defects, such as short circuits, before further processing of the panels to produce PCBs. "Finishing" methods for shearing sheets of unfinished thin-laminate into the finished thin-laminate panels of the present invention in a manner that does not cause smearing of the conductive material onto the dielectric layer are also provided. To assure that conductive material from the conductive layers of an unfinished thin-laminate panel is not smeared onto the edges of the dielectric layer as the panel is sheared, the plane of rotation of a vertically mounted router bit coincides with the plane defined by the surface of the panel. Securing apparatus or fixtures for securing one or more unfinished thin-laminate panels to a surface for shearing of the edges of the panels to produce the finished thin-laminate panels of the present invention are also provided. The securing apparatus allow unfinished panels to be secured to a surface during the finishing process without the need to drill holes through or otherwise diminish the useful area or portions of the panels.
