A metallization module for applying a metal layer on the screen of a CRT faceplate panel is described. The metallization module comprises a vacuum chamber having sidewalls, a base, an adaptor plate, and a lid. The adaptor plate is positioned between the lid and the sidewalls of the metallization module. Evacuation of the vacuum chamber causes atmospheric pressure to act against the outside surface of the lid, forming an airtight seal between the lid, the adaptor plate, and the top lip of the sidewalls. A plurality adjustable rods in conjunction with the adaptor plate are used to support the faceplate panel within the metallization module.

A poultry processing machine is provided which automatically vents and opens the poultry, eviscerates the poultry, displays the poultry for inspection, and either provides a normal or radical clean out procedure to the poultry. When the poultry is being physically processed, it is maintained in a generally stationary position with respect to the surface supporting the poultry processor to provide for uniform positioning of the poultry on the conveyor. Further, the poultry is positioned in a generally horizontal position during the venting and opening, eviscerating and cleaning procedures, to facilitate removing the unwanted materials from the poultry without increasing the risk of contamination. The eviscerating station uses an eviscerating tool which includes an opening sized to receive the viscera package therethrough during the eviscerating process to prevent damage to the viscera package. The clean out station automatically recognizes whether a particular poultry is to receive the normal or radical clean out procedure, thereby reducing processing time.

A surface mount device having a surface mount foot and a method for making the same is disclosed. The method includes providing a piece of pre-plated conductive stock of a conductive base material and a corrosion-resistant conductive plating material different from the conductive base material at least partially overlying the conductive base material. The stock is cut and formed to create a surface mount device having a surface mount foot extending therefrom. The surface mount foot has a top surface, a plated bottom surface and an at least one unplated side surface intermediate the top and bottom surfaces. The plated bottom surface is swaged to create a new plated coined edge surface intermediate the unplated side surface and the plated bottom surface of the surface mount foot.

A connector for mounting an LED to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a hollow cylindrical body portion with an interior sidewall that defines a hollow cavity at one end to receive the LED threaded base section. The second end has a plurality of conductive contact elements with which to electrically contact the LED. A first electrical contact element includes at least one prong extending partially into the cavity. The prong is flexible for the threaded portion to pass the prong for insertion, and partially return to electrically engage the threaded portion to maintain the threaded portion inside the cavity. The prong also permits removal of the LED rotationally with respect to the cavity. The contact elements are in electrical communication with the LED and the threaded base section when the threaded base section is inserted within the body portion.

A rotary joint and a method for making a rotary joint are disclosed. The rotary joint includes a cylindrical core having an external surface including at least two circumferentially oriented groove regions and a partition region intermediate the groove regions. At least a portion of the surface of a groove region is electrically conductive and at least a portion of the surface of the partition region is electrically insulating. A method for making the rotary joint includes molding the cylindrical core from a plateable resin and molding over at least some of the plateable resin with a non-plateable resin. A conductive material is plated over the plateable resin to form a rotary joint of unitary structure, eliminating the numerous components and assembly steps associated with conventional rotary joints.
