A land grid array connector is formed by attaching a reinforcing member to a frame and coating the reinforcing member with an elastomeric compound to form a reinforced, flexible body portion of the connector. Conductive wires are inserted in pairs in an array in the fabric extent. Free ends of the wires extend past the elastomeric compound to provide contacts of the connector. The pairs of wires provide redundancy for the contacts to ensure a reliable connection.

Spool of tape and all necessary resin-forming reactant liquids are packaged in a "one-shot", disposable container for delivery to a physician who mounts the unopened package on an activator machine which spins it in successive operational stages to first activate the reactant liquids by mixing in a mixing region of the package and then wet the tape with the activated liquid by centrifuge, subsequent centrifuging removing excess liquid, whereupon the package is opened and the spool of tape, now damp with the curing resin thereon, is removed for winding on the patient's body to form a polyurethane resin orthopedic cast which hardens within minutes in air and without additional curing procedures. Preferred reactant liquids, plasticizers, and catalysts are disclosed, which have long shelf-life within the package. Package of materials includes special container having inner container containing one reactant liquid; means for opening inner container upon mounting package on activator machine to permit its contents to mix with other reactant liquid disposed at the bottom of the outer container; paddle members for mixing the reactants responsive to intermittent spinning of the package while in a tilted position; and an interior partition configured both to provide a funnel for channeling the polymerizing liquid into a hollow core of the tape spool, and to provide a peripherally extending excess liquid collection region surrounding and extending below the tape spool.

A grain cake baking machine having an upper mold, a ring mold and a lower mold, with the upper and lower molds sliding in the ring mold and defining a mold cavity, a first drive for moving the lower mold relative to the ring mold between a vent position and an intermediate baking position, and an unload position extending to the upper end of the ring mold for discharging the cake, a second drive for moving the upper mold relative to the ring mold between a load position out of the ring mold for loading grain and unloading a cake, and a baking position within the ring mold, a third drive for loading a charge of grain into the ring mold when the upper and lower molds are in the load positions, with the first drive moving the lower mold to the load position for venting the mold cavity, and heaters for the upper and lower molds. The first drive may include a shaft carrying the lower mold, a brake bar carried on the shaft, a brake for clamping the brake bar in a fixed position in the housing, a spring between the shaft and the housing for urging the shaft and lower mold away from the ring mold, a drive for moving the shaft and lower mold to the baking position, and a brake control to clamp the brake bar, shaft and lower mold in the baking position, with the spring means moving the lower mold to the vent position when the brake is actuated to release the brake bar. The brake mechanism also may be used with the upper mold alone and with both upper and lower molds as desired.

Self-leveling dispenser of the type having an elongated lever which serves to balance the spring and platform, with a member being adjustable along the lever for altering the ratio of effective moment arms to change the effective spring rating of the dispenser. An adjustment feature comprises felxible strands connected to opposite sides of the adjustable member. By means of a pulley surface, both strands leave the lever at the pivot point and proceed to a take-up pay-out device, shown as a dentent-controlled reel. For avoiding working against the spring during adjustment the lever concavely curves about the line of action of a tension spring acting upon the lever. In combination of these features the strands are guided by longitudinally convex surfaces of the curved member. The platform and spring loads are shown to act in one diagonal direction of a rectangular frame with the frame braced by a tension member extending in the opposite diagonal direction.

A binding conveyor system for applying binding to a fabric piece. The apparatus includes an unique binding fixture for holding the fabric piece. The fixture includes: a base; a support attached to the base; and fabric engaging device mounted on the support for engaging, positioning and securing the fabric piece. A conveyor transports the binding fixture to at least one work station for operating on the fabric piece while the same is being held by the binding fixture. A transfer station places the fabric piece on the binding fixture.

A combining conveyor system for combining a first fabric piece and a second fabric piece to form a combined fabric piece, such as a men's brief. The apparatus includes an unique combining fixture. The fixture includes: a base; fabric clamping device for receiving and securing the first fabric piece, the second fabric piece, and the combined fabric piece; and a support attached to the base and supporting the fabric clamping device. A conveyor transports the combining fixture to at least one work station for operating on the first and second fabric pieces. A transfer station removes the combining fixture from said conveyor when the operations are completed.

A combining and binding conveyor system which combines a first fabric piece and a second fabric piece to form a combined fabric piece, such as a men's brief and applies binding to the fabric piece. The apparatus includes an unique combining fixture for receiving and securing the first fabric piece, the second fabric piece, and the combined fabric piece. A conveyor transports the combining fixture to at least one sewing machine work station having means for operating on the first and second fabric pieces. A transfer station removes the combining fixture from the conveyor when the operations are completed and places the fabric piece on an unique binding fixture for engaging, positioning and securing the fabric piece. The conveyor transports the binding fixture to at least one sewing machine work station for operating on the fabric piece while the same is being held by the binding fixture.
