| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7099153 | Heat dissipating structure for an electronic device A heat dissipating structure for an electronic device includes a heat source and a heat dissipating member. The heat dissipating member has an inner wall, an outer wall, and a plurality of partition walls. The inner wall receives heat transfer from the heat source. ... | 08/29/2006 |
| 5621378 | Heatsink-mountable power resistor having improved heat-transfer interface with the heatsink A power resistor having much improved heat dissipation ability to an underlying heatsink because a step or protuberance is provided that cooperates with the mounting bolt or screw to largely nullify the effects of molding-caused camber or curvature.... | 04/15/1997 |
| 5581227 | Hybrid circuit having ceramic strip to increase loading capacity A hybrid circuit unit having a film resistor on a circuit carrier and a ceramic stripe having an area of at least approximately the same size as the film resistor is secured in a highly thermally conductive way to at least one side of the plate-shaped cir... | 12/03/1996 |
| 5304977 | Film-type power resistor combination with anchored exposed substrate/heatsink The film-type electrical power resistor includes a flat ceramic chip on the upper surface of which is screen-printed a resistive film. Terminals (leads) are mechanically and electrically connected to the upper chip surface, the terminals being such that t... | 04/19/1994 |
| 5276423 | Circuit units, substrates therefor and method of making A layer of ceramic material such as alumina is plasma-deposited on a sheet member such as molybdenum or a composite laminate of molybdenum and graphite or other material of low thermal expansion to form a circuit unit substrate having a thick, adherent, e... | 01/04/1994 |
| 5119063 | Variable power resistor A variable power resistor includes a heat sink having a front face and a back face with an electrically insulating, thermally conductive ceramic coating bonded directly onto the front face such that the ceramic coating is in direct thermal contact with th... | 06/02/1992 |
| 4803380 | Cover and support plate arrangement for wall mounted devices A cover and support plate arrangement for a wall mounted device, such as a wall switch, display, dimmer, etc., for mounting to a wall box embedded in the wall and having overall surface dimensions greater than that of the wall box. The cover plate is juxt... | 02/07/1989 |
| 4210896 | Variable resistance control and method of making the same A variable resistance control includes a metallic structure plate that functions as a heat sink and that provides both a collector and terminals, a body that is molded onto the structure plate, a resistance element that is deposited onto the body and onto... | 07/01/1980 |
| 4090167 | Push switch and potentiometer assembly A potentiometer and switch assembly wherein the potentiometer resistance is deposited on a circuit board. The control member of the assembly comprises a shaft having a rotor mounted thereon, attached to which is a wiper for contacting the resistance. The ... | 05/16/1978 |
| 4042903 | Power control slide switch A power control device utilizing a circular control potentiometer having a rotatable control shaft may be adapted to a slide switch configuration by attaching a pinion gear to the shaft. A slide bar having a rack member for engagement with the pinion gear... | 08/16/1977 |
