A transponder assembly for use with fiber optic digital communication cables having multiple parallel optic fiber elements. The transponder assembly features a transmitter port and receiver port for connection with separate parallel optic cables for separately transmitting and receiving data and an electrical connector for connecting with computer or communication systems. The transponder assembly includes a parallel optic transmitter module and a parallel optic receiver module having pluggable edge connectors. The assembly also includes a circuit board on which a semiconductor chip useful for signal processing and the electrical connector are mounted. A flex circuit is used in connecting the circuit board to the parallel optic modules. The semiconductor chip and electrical connector are mounted directly across from one another on opposite surfaces of the circuit board.

A multifunctional exercise device is described. The multifunctional exercise device has multiple configurations where the user can perform different exercises by simply adjusting the angle of the bench to utilize both the user's bodyweight and gravity as the resistance.

A foodservice merchandiser comprising a counter unit having a cabinet with vertical front, rear and end sides and a horizontal upper surface countertop side extending between the upper margins of said vertical sides, the countertop side being constructed and arranged with a primary zone to perform a first food-oriented function, and the cabinet also having a secondary zone constructed and arranged to perform a second food-oriented function, the secondary zone being associated with one of the counter unit sides.

The add-on heat sink includes an elongate base having a plurality of fins extending from a surface thereof. A magnetic layer is disposed on the bottom of the base, which permits the add-on heat sink to be installed on any ferromagnetic heated surface. The magnetic layer is composed of either a polymer matrix having a plurality of thermally conductive structural components and a plurality of magnetic particles dispersed therein, or a thermally conductive polymer having magnetic particles dispersed therein. Alternatively, if the heated surface is not ferromagnetic, the heat sink may be magnetically attached by adhesively attaching mating magnetic and ferromagnetic pads to the heat sink and to the heated surface. This configuration allows the add-on heat sink to be installed with minimal footprint. Optionally, a fan may be magnetically attached to the heat sink to cool the heated surface by both conduction and convection.

A foldable transportation trailer able to be folded in two separate locations to enable the folded trailer to assume a vertical position behind the vehicle towing it, when not in use, thus providing a substantially minimal footprint to the trailer in its compacted state. In this manner, when compacted and folded, the trailer reduces from an elongated length of approximately 20 feet, to a length of 3 feet when compacted.

An integrated circuit includes at least one photodiode of the floating substrate type which is associated with a read transistor. The photodiode is formed from a buried layer lying beneath the floating substrate and an upper layer lying on the floating substrate. The upper layer incorporates the source and drain regions of the read transistor. The source and drain regions are produced on either side of the gate of the read transistor. An isolating trench is located alongside the source region and extends from the upper surface of the upper layer down to below the buried layer, so as to isolate the source region from said buried layer.

An electro-thermal heating system comprising a substantially hollow housing having detachable upper and lower plates for covering and sealing top and bottom surfaces of the housing. The housing has an inlet and an outlet for a flow of coolant to enter into and leave the housing, and has openings defined therein, for insertion of electric heating elements therein to project into the housing and be in direct contact with the coolant to heat it. The inlet and the outlet can be interconnected with piping to form a closed fluid flow circuit. The housing is substantially circular, to circulate flow of the coolant in a circular manner within the housing, and a diameter of the inlet is greater than a diameter of the outlet, to keep coolant in the housing longer to heat it. A pump and a power source can be interconnected to the system to circulate the coolant in the closed fluid flow circuit.
