摘要： A passive electrical marker has tuned circuits, each of which includes a coil and a capacitance. The tuned circuits are oriented with respect to each other in a predetermined arrangement so as to provide a broader spatial response. A foamed core inside of the tuned circuits maintains the tuned circuits in their respective orientations and protects the tuned circuits from mechanical shock. A shell or housing around the foamed tuned circuits provides environmental protection to the tuned circuits. The tuned circuits can be foamed together in a mold and then placed into the housing. Alternatively, the tuned circuits can be foamed together inside of a housing, which housing maintains the orientations between the tuned circuits during foaming. As still another alternative, the housing can be applied to the outside of the foamed tuned circuits as a coating.

摘要： The marker has a housing, an inner member and a tuned circuit. The housing has a spherical cavity therein. The inner member is located inside of the housing cavity and is rotatable therein. The tuned circuit has an inductance in the form of a coil as well as a capacitance. The tuned circuit is tuned to a particular frequency. A weight is coupled with the inner member and is eccentrically located within the spherical cavity. The eccentrically located weight seeks the lowest portion of the housing cavity. Thus, when the marker is manipulated so as to disorient the tuned circuit, the weight will rotate the inner member back to its stable position so as to properly orient the tuned circuit coil.

摘要： A modular fixturing system is provided, whose typical use is holding each of a series of similar workpieces, such as rough castings, during machining. It is conventional to support such workpieces during machining on permanent fixtures, specially designed for each type and size of workpiece, each such fixture utilizing two or more locating pins through parallel bores in the workpiece. In the present invention, locating pins are not part of any permanent fixture; instead, using a fixturing plate drilled with bores at modular intervals, the present adaptors are secured at any required spacing, and locating pins of desired diameter are mounted in them. One of the adaptors, referred to as "fixed", is mounted directly to one of the modular bores of the fixturing plate. The other adaptor to be used will be one whose position is slidably adjustable along linearly aligned slots in its base. Diamond-shaped locating pins may be used in either type of adaptor, provisions being made for their securement at desired angularity.

摘要： An adjustable adapter, expecially useful for modular fixturing has provisions for mounting a variety of types and sizes of spring stop buttons and spring locating pins. These are secured in linear alignment with a slot in the adaptor base. When used to press a workpiece against stops, the reaction of their applied spring force is directed precisely along the line of this base slot. A single bolt in the slot thus suffices to secure the adaptor to a base plate, because this reaction causes no twisting moment about the point of bolting. Since only one bolt is required in the slot, the adaptor is compact and well suited for use with a modular fixturing plate; the slot length need be no longer than half the modular spacing of the plate bores.
