Vacuum cup

Latest and greatest offerings in the engineering marketplace

By Design News Staff -- Design News, February 2, 1998

Vacuum cup features a built-in check valve and is for applications where multiple vacuum cups are connected to a main vacuum line, but only a portion of the cups are activated at one time. Check valves built into the cups prevent inactivated cups from leaking atmospheric air into the system, thereby reducing the vacuum level in the main line. With these specialty cups, full vacuum is maintained in the main line at all times. When a cup is not activated, the vacuum port is sealed off by the valve. The sealed port prevents the cup from leaking air into the vacuum system.

Light Matters: A High-Performance, "No-Compromise" Solid State Lamp?
First, let's define "no-compromise". In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package, and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
