20110240718 | UNIVERSAL RADIO FREQUENCY SHIELD REMOVAL - Apparatus and methods for removing components soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB). Embodiments presented generally include a contact plate having a component specific platform offset from the contact plate body. The offset platform may be substantially identical in size and shape as the component to be removed. Accordingly, contact between a heated platform and component may allow for conductive heating to occur based on contact with the component. Thus, forced air or convective heating of the component does not occur such that solder joint defects in adjacent components may be prevented. A vacuum retention port may be provided at an interface of the platform and component when in contact. The vacuum retention port may allow the freed component to be removed from the PCB using vacuum to hold the freed component to the platform. Also, apparatus for automation of a process according to the forgoing are presented. | 10-06-2011 |

20110302748 | SKATEBOARDER'S SHOELACE CLAMP AND METHODS OF USE - A device for securing shoelaces without needing to tie the shoelaces is disclosed. One embodiment of the device comprises a pair of small, planar fastener disks with an aperture cutout in each disk. Aglets at each end of a shoelace are inserted through fastener-disk apertures and the fasteners are slid down to a desired point or tension on the shoelace, next to one of the article of footwear's eyelets. Because the fastener disks develop a frictional grip on the shoelace, tension in the shoelace is substantially maintained. Importantly, the device can be used to simultaneously secure and article of footwear on a wearer's foot while providing a false impression that the article of footwear is untied and unsecured, a feature desired by the skateboarding community. Additionally, one or more such devices can be used to ornament an article of footwear on the exterior sides of footwear eyelets. | 12-15-2011 |
