    摘要: A cradle for holding a wireless terminal. The cradle includes a lower spring-loaded leveling tray and an upper bracket including two spaced-apart retainers that allow one-handed access to the wireless terminal using an ergonomically safe push-down-and-tilt motion. Easy removal is enhanced by using an optical communication link between the cradle and the wireless terminal. The optical communication link allows an optional articulating keyboard to communicate with the wireless terminal when the wireless terminal is in the cradle. A battery charging terminal in the leveling tray charges the battery in the wireless terminal. The leveling tray is automatically locked when the wireless terminal is installed in the cradle. When the wireless terminal is in the cradle, a solenoid may be activated to open the lock. The cradle includes up to three ways to activate the solenoid to open the security lock: a password entered into the keyboard; a password entered into a four-button keypad on the cradle; and an application program that may be operated from the wireless terminal or from another terminal in the patient-care computer network. Alternatively, a manual key-lock may operate the lock if another component of the locking system fails. The cradle also includes a dog that automatically locks the cradle when the wireless terminal is installed in the cradle, and that automatically keeps the cradle unlocked when the wireless terminal is removed from the cradle.

    摘要: A cradle for holding a wireless terminal. The cradle includes a lower spring-loaded leveling tray and an upper bracket including two spaced-apart retainers that allow one-handed access to the wireless terminal using an ergonomically safe push-down-and-tilt motion. Easy removal is enhanced by using an optical infrared (IRDA) coupling between the cradle and the wireless terminal. The IRDA coupling allows an optional articulating keyboard to communicate with the wireless terminal when the wireless terminal is in the cradle. A battery charging terminal in the leveling tray charges the battery in the wireless terminal. The leveling tray is automatically locked when the wireless terminal is installed in the cradle When the wireless terminal is in the cradle, a solenoid may be activated to open the lock.

    摘要: A mechanism for adjusting the length of a support column which comprises an elongated pipe. A cap plate is affixed onto a top end of the elongated pipe. The cap plate has a plurality of mounting holes. A base assembly is removably retained to a bottom end of the elongated pipe, utilizing an expandable chuck sleeve, after a lower portion of the elongated pipe is cut away, thereby to properly size the length of the elongated pipe.

    摘要: The invention disclosed herein provides nozzles for vessels such as a pressurizer vessel, reactor vessel or piping in a nuclear power facility, and methods for attaching and sealing the nozzles to the vessels without any welding at all, i.e., without using a structural or seal weld. The nozzles are clamped or bolted to the vessel or attached by an interference fit, and a mechanical seal is obtained using gasket material and/or contacting, preferably polished, metal surfaces. Some embodiments of clamping the nozzle to the vessel comprise tightening a nut on the threaded end of the nozzle projecting from the bore in the vessel against the vessel, and structure which prevents the nozzle from being withdrawn through the bore, thereby clamping the nozzle against the vessel. Another embodiment of clamping a nozzle to the vessel comprises a sleeve threaded in the bore and forcing an interfering portion of the nozzle body into engagement with the bore. In still another clamping embodiment, an exterior flange (attached to or engaged with the nozzle) is clamped to the vessel by bolts and interferring portions of the nozzle and the bore. Embodiments of bolting the nozzle to the vessel include threading the nozzle in the bore, and structure which prevents the nozzle from being withdrawn through the bore. The engaging structure may comprise an interior flange attached to the nozzle surrounding the bore on the interior of the vessel, or interfering portions of the nozzle and the bore. The nozzle may also be mechanically sealed with an O-ring arrangement. Attaching a nozzle with an interference fit may be accomplished by creating a temperature gradient between a larger OD nozzle and a smaller ID bore sufficient to enlarge the diameter of the bore, reduce the diameter of the nozzle, or both to allow the nozzle to be inserted into the bore and then reducing the temperature gradient The invention also provides a nozzle arrangement which is clamped to a large bore pipe.

    摘要: A convertible roof employs a top stack mechanism and a generally rigid roof cover. Furthermore, the frame may be stowed under a rigid roof cover. In another aspect of the present invention, the top stack mechanism employs a rearmost roof bow that is moved from above a roof cover to allow the roof cover to open, and then the entire top stack mechanism retracts into a storage area. A further aspect of the present invention provides a lost motion coupling of the top stack mechanism to the vehicle body. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a fluid powered actuator controls movement of the rearmost roof bow relative to the remainder of the top stack mechanism.

    摘要: For nozzle replacement, repair and initial installation in ASME pressure vessels, disclosed are nozzles, nozzle assemblies and nozzle repair assemblies, all of which are mechanically attached and mechanically sealed to the vessel, i.e., without any welding to the vessel, and in most embodiments without any welding at all. For nozzle replacement, a part or the entire existing nozzle is removed and a partial or full replacement nozzle or nozzle assembly is mechanically attached and mechanically sealed to the vessel. For nozzle repair, the existing nozzle within the bore is not removed, and a mechanical seal is provided for the existing nozzle which may also be welded or mechanically attached to the repair assembly. Also disclosed are: a corrosion resistant leak path or paths past the nozzle to the exterior of the vessel and beyond the insulation surrounding the vessel such that any leakage can visually be detected; an anti-rotation device or devices which prevent a mechanically attached nozzle part from rotating relative to the vessel; and an assembly which rotatably couples a sleeve threaded to the bore or a clamp device and a nozzle or nozzle body so that the sleeve may be tightened without breaking a weld between the nozzle and the assembly which attaches the nozzle to the sleeve; and a clamp which releasably frictionally engages a nozzle and releasably attaches it to a sleeve or flange that is mechanically attached to the vessel.
