A non-contact power reception apparatus is provided, in which a power reception coil for a charging system and a loop antenna for an electronic settlement system are mounted on a battery pack and a cover case of a portable terminal such that the power reception coil is arranged in the center thereof and the loop antenna is disposed outside the power reception coil, so that a mode of receiving a wireless power signal and a mode of transmitting and receiving data are selectively performed, thereby preventing interference from harmonic components and enabling non-contact charging and electronic settlement using a single portable terminal. A jig for fabricating a core to be mounted to the non-contact power reception apparatus is provided.

A carrier assembly configured to facilitate manufacture of a printed circuit board assembly includes a bottom frame defining a generally rectangular configuration and having a length and a width. The bottom frame is adjustable to vary at least one of the length or the width thereof. The assembly further includes a core releasably positionable on the bottom frame and configured to support a circuit board thereon. A carrier assembly system includes the bottom frame and a plurality of cores. Methods of manufacturing printed circuit board assemblies utilizing carrier assemblies are also provided.

Systems, apparatus, methods, and techniques of assembly of discrete modules of a control panel are disclosed. The modules can be independently wired, tested, and installed into a control panel. Module definitions are defined specifying components to perform the electrical function, a mechanical arrangement of the components, electrical connections, and logical interactions of the module. A bill of materials can be generated based on a designation of a set of modules for a control panel and the module definitions. Modularly assembled control panels are disclosed. An assembly frame is described herein for temporarily mounting components of a module for independent assembly of a control module and for eventual removal and installation into a control panel frame. The assembly frame may include a faceplate frame and side frames and temporary mounting features.

A non-contact power reception apparatus is provided, in which a power reception coil for a charging system and a loop antenna for an electronic settlement system are mounted on a battery pack and a cover case of a portable terminal such that the power reception coil is arranged in the center thereof and the loop antenna is disposed outside the power reception coil, so that a mode of receiving a wireless power signal and a mode of transmitting and receiving data are selectively performed, thereby preventing interference from harmonic components and enabling non-contact charging and electronic settlement using a single portable terminal. A jig for fabricating a core to be mounted to the non-contact power reception apparatus is provided.

An installation fixture for installing a device on a power line is disclosed. The fixture includes a lower cradle that may receive one part of the device, an upper cradle that may receive another part of the device, and a base. The installation fixture may be installed on a worker carrier for a boom truck or the like. The orientation of the lower cradle may be adjusted relative to the base to facilitate the installation on the power line. The upper cradle may be moved between an open position (where the parts may be loaded into the fixture) and a closed position (where the power line is captured between the two parts of the device) and at which time that parts can be secured together.

A tool for supporting multilayer printed circuit boards during manufacture having a frame in which there is fixed a pretensed, non-electrically conductive fabric which has a thickness less than 0.1 mm and which can be accessed by its two faces. The tool allows the induction bonding of the layers at internal points of the bundle following a method in which the bundle is placed on the tool and at least one of the welding electrodes used in the welding operation is applied on the lower face of a fabric of the tool supporting the bundle. A machine especially suitable for putting the method into practice includes C-shaped magnetic cores, the arms of which are long enough to reach the internal points of the bundle.

A workstation and method for the installation of a pulling head assembly onto one or more conductors of a cabling system are provided. The workstation incorporates one or more of: a conductor clamp that holds the conductors of the cabling system in place during the installation of the pulling head assembly; a cutting guide having indicia marks that indicate the lengths to which to cut the conductors in order to achieve a staggered pattern of pulling eyes attached to the conductors in the pulling head assembly; a stripping tool that is used to remove a portion of the insulation from the terminal end of each conductor so that the end of the conductor may be inserted into the pulling eye; and a crimping tool that is used to crimp the pulling eyes onto the terminal ends of each of the conductors.

An assembly machine comprising a continuous circuitous track; a dispensing head system configured to at least partially assemble products, wherein the dispensing head system includes one or more dispensing heads movable around the continuous circuitous track; a product conveyance system extending between a first location of the continuous circuitous track and a second location of the continuous circuitous track and a placement module, the placement module including a first positioning system configured to move along a first axis that intersects with the product conveyance system, wherein the first positioning system is configured to receive a first of the products from the product conveyance system and move the first of the products from the product conveyance system to a first placement location; and a second positioning system configured to move along a second axis that intersects with the product conveyance system, wherein the second positioning system is configured to receive a second of the products from the product conveyance system and move the second of the products from the product conveyance system to a second placement location.

New battery and other electrical energy storage device tanks, immersion fluids, dispensers, and recharging techniques are provided. in some aspects, a plurality of batteries or other electrical energy storage devices with a plurality of battery contacts may be delivered to an energy storage and extraction tank, itself comprising electrical contacts for interfacing with the battery contacts. The batteries or other electrical energy storage devices may be delivered to the tank in any order and number, any of which results in bridging contacts between the devices and the tank, powering an electrical load. Variable contacts and positions between the elements aid. in placing them in optimized orders within an electrical circuit managed by computer hardware and software. A dispenser aids in removing and replacing depleted devices, and assessing a monetary charge to a user. These energy tank and delivery techniques are applied, inter aha, to rapidly re-energizing electronic vehicles (“EVs”).
