WPIAL Class A Pairings and Predictions - Football Recruiting - Scout
WPIAL Class A Pairings and PredictionsBob Lichtenfels11/04/2011Scout.com takes a closer look at the WPIAL Class AA first-round playoff pairings for this weekend. All games will begin at 7:30 p.m.WPIAL Class A: Cornell at Clairton
**Cornell has lost two games by a total of three points. Their other two losses were to playoff favorites Rochester and Sto-Rox. Athlete B.J. Lipke has had a solid senior season and will have to have a big day to stop Clairton. The Bears look to be the favorite in the top half of the bracket and maybe the top team in the state in Class A. On paper, Clairton should have no issues, but that is why they play the games. Junior Tyler Boyd is the key to the machine and as he goes so does Clairton. Boyd has been one of the best players in the state regardless of class. Pitt commit Trenton Coles has been coming up big for the Bears since his spectacular catch at Heinz Field as a freshman. Clairton has on allowed 18 points all season and posted seven shutouts in nine games.**
PREDICTION: Clairton 35, Cornell 0
**Springdale is always tough and this year is no different with two losses to two playoff teams Avonworth and Bishop Canevin. When Monessen is on they are tough to beat, led by junior quarterback Chavas Rawlins who has turned himself into a solid D-I prospect. The Greyhounds defense has posted five shutouts. This could be the toughest first round match-up in Class A.
PREDICTION: Monessen 14, Springdale 13
Northgate at Rochester **Northgate has five wins, but none against a playoff team, they have the task of trying to defeat a Rochester team that not only contends for the championship, but usually plays in the final. Rochester has only one loss at the hands of Sto-Rox who most are expecting to end up in the finals. The Rams will rely heavily on bruising tailback De'Andre Moon.
PREDICTION: Rochester 28, Northgate 6
California at Avonworth **This should be another very good first round game. Avonworth has one loss at the hands of playoff bound Bishop Canevin and scored a big win over Beth-Center. California was dominated by Beth-Center and lost by seven to Monessen.**
PREDICTION: Avonworth 20, California 13
Frazier at Sto-Rox **Frazier has suffered three loses to playoff bound Beth-Center, Bishop Canevin, and California. Sto-Rox has been the most dominant Class A team around besides Clairton. Led by D-I prospects three-star Pittsburgh commit wide receiver Marzett Geter, safety Dontez Ford who is headed to Syracuse and four-star outside linebacker Deaysean Rippy. Senior running back Josh Beverly is the straw that stirs the drink.
PREDICTION: Sto-Rox 38, Frazier 12
Western Beaver at Brentwood Brentwood has been solid all season losing once to Clairton and winning a close one-point decision over Fort Cherry. Western Beaver has lost four games to four very good teams Rochester, Sto-Rox, Clairton and a shootout loss to Fort Cherry. Athlete Dustin Creel will need to shoulder the load if Western Beaver hopes to pull off the upset.
PREDICTION: Western Beaver 22, Brentwood 18
Chartiers-Houston vs. Bishop Canevin at Dormont Stadium **Chartiers-Houston has lost three games to Clairton, Brentwood and Fort Cherry. The brentwood game was decided by three points. Bishop Canevin has run through the Eastern Conference, which most feel is having a down year.**
PREDICTION: Bishop Canevin 34, Chartiers-Houston 20
Fort Cherry at Beth-Center
**On paper Fort Cherry should not have a chance to win this game, but I just have a sneaky suspicion that senior quarterback Tanner Garry leads his team to an upset. Beth-Center is having an outstanding season suffering one loss by one point to Avonworth. Fort Cherry hasn't lost an away game this season, all three losses were at home.**
PREDICTION: Fort Cherry 21, Beth-Center 20

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to means for moving an object on a surface. More specifically, the invention is directed to a wheel assembly for use, for example, with a vehicle, a load carrier, or other type of similar apparatus used for moving objects. The wheel assembly comprises at least one wheel arranged on the object.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention, among others, is to provide a means for propulsion and control of a vehicle, for example, which enables unique motion possibilities. The means for moving is constituted so that it is possible to change the direction of movement of the vehicle perpendicularly, for example, to a previous direction of motion.
Thus, equipped with the means according to the present invention, vehicles can be driven around sharp corners and in spaces requiring a small turning radius. Regarding industrial load carrying vehicles, for example, for material transportation, an essential advantage is achieved in that transportation apparatus can be optimized, i.e., the number of such vehicles can be minimized which, accordingly, results in better utilization of valuable areas.
The means for moving according to the present invention is easy to control through simple mechanical arrangements, having control and propulsion qualities comparable with those achieved by very advanced electronically controlled systems.
Besides the unlimited motion patterns made possible by the present invention, other advantages are achieved, such as no increase in wear on the wheel or on the surface during twisting or turning. Similarly, there is no increase in wear on the wheel during the turning, or steering, of the wheel on a stationary vehicle. The wheel according to the present invention does not require the return to a neutral position for continuous turning of the wheel. Also in this regard, the present invention essentially differs from known apparatus, such as hydraulically driven wheels for trucks in which the wheel must be returned to a neutral position before turning in order that conduits and similar structures are not damaged. Another essential advantage achieved by the moving assembly according to the present invention is that it is possible to put the assembly in a desired position, irrespective of the previous position, and in the quickest possible manner.
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the wheel assembly of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the wheel assembly of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The present invention comprises, as a main element, a wheel 1, which is preferably obliquely arranged, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and which at its periphery has a partial spherical tread surface 2, the wheel adapted to be arranged on an object such as a vehicle, a load carrier, truck, and other types of machines. For propelling the vehicle by means of the wheel 1, as will be further described below, a first drive shaft 3 is provided. In addition, a gear wheel, or drive gear 4, is mounted concentrically with shaft 3, which is provided for a control, or steering, function. Gear 4 is operatively connected to a shifting motor, or other suitable driving means, which is not shown in the drawing. Further, a motor is to be provided for rotating shaft 3, preferably by means of a further driving gear, also not illustrated in the drawing.
The rotation of the first drive shaft 3 is transmitted, as shown in FIG. 2, via a transmission arrangement formed by gear wheels 5, 6, and 7, to a second drive shaft 8 of wheel 1. Wheel 1 is obliquely arranged in relation to first drive shaft 3, but can, in other embodiments, be perpendicularly arranged in relation to drive shaft 3.
The first drive shaft 3 is journalled in a plate 12 and held in sleeve 20 by bearings 16 and 17. Plate 12 can be fastened on the object, or it can comprise a part of the object. Shaft 8 is journalled for rotation with respect to a support arm 10, in which shaft 18 for the intermediate drive gear 6 is also journalled. Shaft 8 is connected to wheel 1 which, besides the partial spherical tread surface 2, comprises a rim 19 to which the second drive shaft 8 can be fastened.
The rotational motion of first drive shaft 3 is accordingly transmitted to wheel 1 which, having the subspherical peripheral tread surface 2 in contact with the surface at the rolling point 9, drives the vehicle. Second drive shaft 8 is fixed against a pivoting motion in relation to first drive shaft 3 and is only permitted to rotate around its own rotational axis R, with propulsion made in the same direction. The second drive shaft 8 is fixed against rotation about axis 3 by the fact that the support arm 10, in which second drive shaft 8 and shaft 18 of the intermediate drive gear 6 are journalled, is in mechanical connection with the gear wheel or the drive gear 4, which is rigidly connected to a sleeve 21 of the support arm 10. As such, support arm 10 can not rotate if the drive gear 4 is not influenced to rotate by an external driving means.
The support arm 10 with second drive shaft 8 and intermediate drive shaft 18 journalled therein is, by means of bearings 14 and 15, pivotably journalled at the sleeve 20 of the plate 12.
When the drive gear 4 is driven, the support arm 10, with shaft 8, pivots around shaft 3 and the wheel 1, at rolling point 9, moves in a circular motion around shaft 3. The rotation axis R of the wheel 1 intersects the prolonged center line of driving shaft 3 at point 13 on an imaginary sphere 22 which is defined by one revolution of the subspherical periphery area of the wheel 1. Furthermore, the point of intersection between the rotation axis R of the wheel and line D, the diameter of the wheel 1 in the rolling plane shown in FIG. 2, is a radial distance from shaft 3.
In the embodiment as shown in the drawings with, for example, a gear ratio of 1:1 between shaft 3 and wheel shaft 8, the wheel 1 at the rolling plane will have the same circumference as the circle formed on the surface by the rolling point 9, when support arm 10 completes one revolution around shaft 3. That is, distance A is equal to one-half the distance D, or 0.5D (see FIG. 2). Of course, the present invention is not limited to such a gear ratio between shafts 3 and 8, but any other gear ratio between the two shafts is possible within the scope of the present invention. However, the circumferential velocity of the wheel 1 around axis R is adapted to the circumferential velocity around the circle defined by the rotation of point 9 on the periphery of the wheel 1 around the shaft 3, such that the circumferential velocities correspond to each other. This ensures that there will be no sliding of the wheel in relation to the surface, but, instead, enables a smooth motion, free from losses of traction in all directions along the plane on which the object, provided with the means according to the present invention, rests.
In order to minimize the uneven load, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the angle between shaft 3 and shaft 8 is approximately 45�, but as previously mentioned, other angles can be selected within the scope of the invention.
A pivoting motion of the support arm 10 around shaft 3 results in an immediate change in the direction of the motion of the object, assuming that there is propulsion at the same time via shaft 3. With respect to stationary objects, i.e., in which shaft 3 is stationary, the support arm 10 can be pivoted around shaft 3 without a driving influence to pivot the support arm 10 and without any movement of the object. Because intermediate gear wheel 6 is journalled in the support arm 10 between gear wheels 5 and 7, pivoting of the support arm 10 for guidance, i.e., for steering of the vehicle, will not contribute to a propelling motion of the object, even if a driving force is applied at the same time via drive shaft 3.
The gear wheels 5, 6, and 7 are conical and designed with the same pitch.
The present invention is not limited to what has been described above and shown in the figures but can be envisioned in many different ways within the scope of the invention. Thus, it is possible to provide wheel 1 with a motor of its own for propulsion and for rotation around the rotation axis. In such a case, there is no need to provide driving shaft 3.

Amazing Holiday!! - Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya
Valentin Imperial Maya My husband and I took our second trip to the Mayan Riviera on May 31st, 2008. We decided to stay at the Valentin Imperial Maya Resort. This is an adult only resort. We decided on this resort because we were leaving our 2 kids at home and didn’t want to feel bad for not bringing them and we also wanted some quiet time without the sounds of little voices. Our first impression of the resort was great. First of all it was one of the first hotels in the Mayan past the airport so the ride was only about 25 minutes. We got off the bus and were greeted by the bell boy and he took our luggage and tagged it and showed us the way to the lobby. The lobby is huge with beautiful, large wrought iron chandeliers. It had crown mouldings, beautiful floor to ceiling draperies and was very classy. They escorted us to a desk where we sat down and were greeted with champagne and a warm face cloth to freshen up. The check-in process was flawless and quick. It was raining when we arrived so they drove us in a covered golf cart to our room. We had a Golden Junior Suite and were blown away. This was probably the nicest room that we’ve ever stayed in and we have traveled all over the world. This is a new resort so it’s nice...Valentin Imperial Maya

This was probably the nicest room that we’ve ever stayed in and we have traveled all over the world. This is a new resort so it’s nice to have everything new. Our room had a king-size bed that had 2 swans made out of towels and there were also rose petals all over the bed in the shape of a heart. Our room had a sitting area, covered balcony and a small uncovered balcony that would fit 1 chair. There was a cocktail table with 2 chairs, 2 large tv’s, a desk and a bar. There is also a DVD player however it would not play our Canadian DVD’s as it said it was the wrong zone. Apparently though you can borrow DVD’s from the concierge. There were 2 robes, 2 pairs of slippers, an umbrella and a hair dryer in the room. There were large bottles of shampoo, bath and shower gel and body lotion. The only disappointing part of the room we stayed in was that the air conditioner was located above our heads in bed, therefore, it blew directly on us. There was also a smoke detector right over our bed that flashed its lights and was a little annoying. An interesting thing was that the door to the toilet in the bathroom was glass. This was also true for the toilet in the Ladies locker room in the spa. So there was a privacy issue there. The spa was awesome! I had a 4 hand massage which was the most incredible experience and also a Strawberry Scrub. It was...More

A Lovers Resort
Transfer from the airport to the hotel was great, went VIP with a 10-minute wait. At the resort, we received Champaign during check in and an upgrade to Tower 7. My wife shared with the agent that it was my birthday. In the 10-minutes it took us to get to our room, they turned down the bed and decorated the room with rose petals. The next night they brought in a bottle of Champaign. Nice touch!
The hotel is very new with about 30% occupancy. The food and evening entertainment were excellent.
The first few mornings we had our breakfast in the Fusion Restaurant and enjoyed a wide assortment of items. Check out the Kewie/Guava juice. Towards the end of our trip we tended to hit the beach early and have breakfast at Mar/ Tierra Restaurant.
In the afternoons everyone tends to migrate to the pool in front of Tower 4 and 5. Sightseeing and interaction is fun. In the evening, enjoy the Shows and then check out the Sports Bar.
Can’t say enough about the service. It was fantastic. We took a stack of 100, $1-dollar bills as tip money. I didn’t see much tipping and the service staff was truly grateful when offered.
Few other notes: international calls from the room are $5/min. US dollar and Euro phone cards are available but the machines are at opposite sides of the main lobby. The US phone card machine is by the business center and the Euro machine is by Lobby Bar. Cost is $20US for 23 minutes.
If you want to do the hibachi for dinner, you will need a total of 8 guest.
Shuttle service to Playa is about $23 per couple. Trip is about 15 minutes one way. Car rental is available for about $100 per day.
Make sure to use your concierge. They are convenient to each building. These guys are great for negotiating and confirming reservations for you. Thank you Martin and George!

My husband and I returned from the Valentin on Sunday, June 8.
We had a Golden Junior Suite which the Concierge told us was larger than the Oceanfront rooms. We loved it. Huge tub, separate shower and toilet stalls. Just as everyone has said. I did notice some flaws, however, this is not the United States and I was on vacation, so I did not let it bother me.
We arrived on June 1 during Tropical Storm Arthur and the weather was awful, but that is not the fault of the resort.
We visited all the restaurants except the Indonesian/Fusion. We visited both the French and Japanese twice. We also had sushi as an appetizer before dinner at another restaurant. Both were fantastic. Pablo is the MAN at Japanese.
I believe we also visited most of the bars. Don Miguel had a piano player each evening before dinner and he was great. We went most nights before dinner and there was hardly anyone in there. We were there during the Stanley Cup Final and watched the games in the Sports Bar which was fun. The Cigar Bar was a great place to chill and usually didn't have anyone in it.
The Main Pool was GREAT. It is saltwater, but this seemed to be better than the usual variety. We visited the "Quiet Pool" on our last day and it was really WARM and quiet, but perfect for just cooling off.
All in all it was a great vacation and we made some new friends, which was an unexpected plus. Shout out to Shannon & Spencer and Karen & Tony.
The only thing that was really lacking was a Disco, however folks seemed to make their own entertainment, but I would have preferred a spot devoted to dancing with a DJ.

Valentin Imperial - FANTASTIC!
We stayed at the Valentin June 1 to 8, and it was a fantastic week. I'd never visited Mexico or stayed at an all-inclusive so wasn't sure what to expect but my friends also raved about the Valentin. Besides all the great service, etc, there are no
wristbands, no towel cards and we did not see any time share sales reps! We would love to go back!!
- excellent. Staff are friendly and accomodating but not intrusive.
- we didn't have to go to the bars to ask for drinks - mostly, servers circulate among the guests. Wow!
- others have suggested, and we agree, that you take a lot of one dollar bills for tipping. Yes - this is an all inclusive and staff don't expect tips, but leaving a dollar or two is a nice way to thank the bellhops, servers, cleaning staff etc. It's really no different than leaving a bigger tip at a restaurant after a great meal
- the 'one touch' service was generally good eg there were problems with the airconditioning when we got there so they sent someone up right away to fix it, then we got a followup call from 'One touch' to ask if the AC had been fixed to our satisfaction
On the other hand, Wednesday, the room wasn't turned down and I called to ask for extra towels but no one answered the phone, even on the 2d call. But compared to everything else, this was just a hiccup in the service
- the evening bed turn down service (and fresh towels) is great but it was missed on the Wed and Friday nights. We missed the fresh towels, and the evening chocolates!
- really good. Good restaurant selection, and you do not needreservations. We loved Ginger's so much that we went there 3 times so didn't get a chance to try all the restaurants!
- a couple of restaurants had spa menu selections
- we liked the house wines
- snack food on the beach/pool - only nachos only. We wanted chips which are available in the gift shop. Gift shop prices seemed high ($5 or $6 for a can of pringles) but Cancun prices weren't much lower. Having said this, the one day we went to the beach, a server came by with a tray of excellent hors d'oeuvres - definitely not something we were expecting - a great treat!!
- restaurant dress code for men should be more clear. Nice bermuda shorts (even if they are not cargo shorts) are not allowed in most restaurants but jeans are
- bring water shoes as there are some rocky parts on the beach. Flip flops worked but water shoes would be better. They are available in the hotel gift shop if you forget
- personal preference but I should've brought more summer dresses for dinner.
- our room was very humid and all our clothes felt damp, even if we hadn't worn them. We left our bathing suits on the balcony to dry but you may want to take several.
- we only tried it twice. When we got back from the shopping trip, we decided to order dinner in (2 apps, 2 entrees, 2 drinks each). There were only 3 plates on the tray and when I asked the server, he showed me the written order, which was correct. But we didn't get our entrees - instead, we got a 3d appetizer. It had taken a long time (over 45 min) to get the order so I think the kitchen may have misplaced it. It was too late to phone for another. What they did send as the 3d appetizer was delicious though!
- each day's journal lists 'sunny day' and 'rainy day' activities. We went to the Valentin to rest and enjoy the weather so I didn't try any of them though they looked interesting with lots of choice
- the gym is well set up. Suggest you take your ipod if you like to work out to music.
- bikes - we only went once and the bikes we used were not comfortable
- lots of great activities (and more people) at the main pool. If you want a quieter poolside, try the swimup pool. Pool walking is also a great workout - you can walk the entire swimup as the water is about 4 ft deep. The salt water is great for the skin too!
ACTIVITIES - NIGHTTIME
- the evening shows were good. We really enjoyed the Cirque show, and Latin dancing
- one evening (maybe every evening?) an excellent group performed in the Plaza. They did all kinds of music - jazz, funk, rock - very danceable! A DJ came out after so people kept dancing - lots of fun!
- Saturday night, there was a Mexican buffet in the Plaza. (Some of the restaurants were also open.) It was really well done, including local vendors with crafts for sale (no silver) so take some money that night. The atmosphere was great.
- made 3 stops - first mall was OK. Not sure if the prices at Luxury Avenue were that good- if you want a designer item, check your local prices first. 2d mall - a lot of souvenir shops but friends said that silver prices were good here. FYI - one store sold chocolates filled with Kahlua for less than at duty-free. The 3d Plaza (las islas) had a lot of variety. One store (Liverpool?) has great prices on perfumes and cosmetics (maybe lower than Cdn duty free - wish I'd done my homework first!) And, if you're from Canada, Scotiabank may be in this mall.
- cab ride to Cancun is about $40 each way
- speaking of cash, the Valentin has 2 ATMS. One of them dispenses Mexican currency so if you select "$50", you get about $5 Cdn/US.

Wow....what a resort. I almost don't want to review this resort because I want to keep it a secret and keep it from being overrun but it was such a wonderful experience that I feel I should share. I booked this resort on a travel agent rate so that I could visit for potential clients in the future. They opened in December of 2007. We arrived by taxi from a week at another resort and were very pleased with this resort. Upon our arrival we were given cold refreshing washcloths and a glass of champane while we checked in. Unlike most resorts that have a long counter for check in, Valentin had individual desks with seating during your check in. It was very elegant. Check in went very smoothly and we were upgraded to the Golden Swim up junior jacuzzi suites without even asking for it. We were taken by Victor via gold cart to our rooms and they were indeed breathtaking to say the least. Alex was also very helpful and sweet.
Not your typical resort hotel room. The bed was angled away from the walls and beautifully made. There was a flat screen tv on a stand and behind that a beautiful partition. Behind the partition was a full size couch, coffee table and an entertainment center with another flat screen television and dvd player. Behind the couch sat a round table and two chairs. The bathroom was elegant as well with a large walk in shower, a jacuzzi tub, two sinks and very spacious. The toliet and bidet were in a separate room with a beautiful glass door. In addition there was a nice counter space with ice bucket, tray, glasses, coffee maker and cups etc. and beneath that a refrigerator that was stocked daily with whatever you asked for. Never ran out or even low. They were wonderful about keeping it stocked and everything was always cold inside. The air conditioning was so efficient that we had to turn it off at times. The bed was heavenly and one of the most comfortable beds we have ever experienced in Mexico. Absolutely plush and complete with many pillows and a down comforter. Every night they turned down our bed, decorated it with fresh flowers and put the television on a music station and dimmed the lights. They left our bathrobes laid out on the end of the beds and they left clean glasses and cold bottles of water on the nightsides On either side of the bed and chocolates on our pillows as well as the next days schedule and the weather report for the next day. They refreshed the towels in the bathroom and cleaned it during the turn down service. Upon leaving your room, they leave the mirror light on in the bathroom to serve as a night light. Very accomodating and welcoming.
Every morning we ordered room service and it was always hot and very tasting. The personally come in and set your table and even brought a fresh rose on occasion for the "lady". The were very polite and you got the impression that they really enjoyed their jobs.
There are no wrist bands at this resort and no reservations to make at the restaurants.We loved that!! You just choose the restaurant you wish to dine in that night and they accomodate you immediately. IF there is a wait, the plaza is nearby and you can order a drink before dinner and sit and relax to a classical band playing in the plaza. We ate at the seafood, the steak, the italian and the japanese restaurant several times. All were absolutely out of this world for food and service as well as ambiance. A wonderful dining experience every single time, without fail.
The pool was HUGE and if I am not mistaken, the largest in the mayan riviera. It was gorgeous and never felt crowded. Two very large swim up bars on either side as well as seating on the pool deck side where we could order lunch and snacks as well.
Our swim up pool four steps from our patio was never crowded and always refreshing. Also very nice when we did not want to walk to the main pool. We were in building 8 and literally steps from the bar between building seven and eight. The bartenders would actually come to your patio to take drink orders and to the side of the pool and then deliver your drinks personally. We definitely felt pampered.
The beach and the ocean was one of the best that we have stayed in along the mayan riviera and being a travel agent, we have stayed at many over the years. The swimming area was totally sand, and easy to maneuver. Sandy bottom all the way out and not to deep until you got quite a ways out. The beach was never crowded and there were plenty of palapas for shade as well as lounge chairs. Somedays we were the only ones on the beach which was wonderful. There were baskets of fresh towels at different areas around the beach and pools and baskets for your used towels as well. You could take as many as you desired which was a nice touch from the resorts that give you a towel card and you get to "check out" one towel at a time and then they threatened to charge you 50.00 if it was not returned.
We met many nice people and the staff was always very pleasant and happy. The resort grounds are beautiful and although some areas are still being finished and landscaped but it was growing but they have done a wonderful job with the grounds and in a few years it will be totally gorgeous. It was a very comfortable resort with wonderful employees, wonderful food and drinks, wonderful ocean and beach as well as the pools which were always clean and refreshing. The rooms were beautiful and very well appointed. There were golf carts driving around all the time and they were always asking if you needed a ride. The concierge service was wonderful as well. They called a few times to be sure that everything was taken care of and made sure that we did not need anything. They were there for us around the clock.
There is also a safe in the room for your valuables as well as good closet space. They even included an umbrella for the rainy days. We had four, so it came in very handy.
There were many bars to experience and on a rainy day, the sports bar was fun. There was free iternet access in a room with three computers and that was nice to have access to. There is a store in the resort that has just about anything that you could want on vacation although the prices seemed a little high, but not bad. We did not experience the spa but their menu as delightful and it looked very elegant as well.
They definitely have thought of anything and of all my trips to Mexico, and in all our stays at different resorts, this is by far, hands down, our very favorite. There was absolutely NOTHING we could complain about and we will definitely go back and refer this resort in our business. This resort could definitely be a six star resort. We LOVED it!!!! They should be very proud of their resort and their employees.

The best vacation at the Valentin Imperial
I booked my vacation with bookit.com and I stayed at the Valentin Imperial May 19th-May 22. My only regret was that our time was too short. Upon arriving, we were greeted with champagne and cold towels. We arrived before check-in and reluctantly our room was ready. We stayed in an Oceanfront Junior Suite, room 10203. The room was spacious and clean. We had satellite tv and an ipod adapter to play music. The bed was the best bed we have ever slept in. I usually have trouble sleeping, but slept like a rock on this vacation. The bathroom was my favorite. The jacuzzi was relaxing with the sliding window and the shower was just as amazing with the dual showerheads. The toilet and badae are in a separate room on their own. Our only complaint is that we wish there was ventilation or fan in that room. The temperature in the room was perfect, I actually got cold from the air conditioner and fan on full blast. The air conditioner has motion sensors on to conserve energy. However, this did not affect us at all. We slept comfortably with the covers. Breakfast on the balcony when the sun was rising was amazing. Our advice is to get and Oceanfront in tower 9. They seemed to have more of the oceanview. Our view was mostly foliage but still beautiful.The beach was my favorite. It was crystal clear warm water. The sand was like powder. You have to go left in order to avoid rocks. The sun was hot and relaxing. They have a lot of pallapas and beach chairs with plenty of space. There are plenty of pool chairs as well. The pool was the largest we had ever seen with multiple swin up bars. They had topshelf liquor and never skimped on the alcohol. The service was attentive and everything was immaculate. The landscaping is spacious and beautiful. This is a quiet resort and just the thing to relax. The food was 5 star quality. The breakfast buffet was great with multiple selections. We had lunch in the same room and I enjoyed the mahi mahi and my boyfriend had the kobe burger. Our favorite for dinner was the french restaurant and the Japanese. We also had room service for breakfast. The service was prompt. I was amazed that my sunny side up eggs were still warm and runny when it arrived. In general all the food was excellent. The room mini bar has only beer, water and soda. No snacks, but 24hr room service. Make sure you bring your own lotion we payed $25.00 us. We thought it was a mistake, but it wasn't. They had a separate pool for volleyball and beach volleyball. They had bikes to use. However, we didn't get a chance because people wouldn't return them. They brought them to the room and used them at their leisure. Very selfish, try sharing. We did one excursion to swim with the dolphins at Dolphinaris. I recommend doing this if you have never experienced being in the water with dolphins. The weather was hot and sunny. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a place to relax and get a great tan. I recommend uprgrading, the rooms are worth it. I will absolutely be visiting again. Enjoy!

This invention relates in general to apparatus for mounting integrated circuits and in particular to apparatus for mounting integrated circuits which include quick reease mechanisms to facilitate insertion and release of the integrated circuit device.
Integrated circuits are typically mounted on a metallic lead frame and then encased in ceramic or plastic packages. Such packages are usually constructed with metallic leads extending from each of two sides of the package in what is known as a dual in-line package (DIP); however, recently integrated circuits have been constructed with edge connectors instead of conventional leads. Then edge connectors can be disposed along each edge of the package, or along any number of edges.
In operative environments, integrated circuits with metallic leads are generally soldered into place through a printed circuit board, or inserted into a socket which has been mounted to the printed circuit board. The sockets typically utilized include apertures for receiving each lead and friction connectors for retaining each lead in conductive contact with a conductor within the socket. In those applications in which an integrated circuit must be inserted into such a socket and then removed and reinserted elsewhere, as in testing, it is critical for the operator to ensure that the integrated circuit device leads are accurately lined up with the apertures in the socket to prevent bending or breaking of the metallic leads and the resultant malfunction of the device.
The edge connector integrated circuit devices were intended to alleviate the problems associated with socket mounting of integrated circuits; however, it is still necessary to ensure that each of the edge connectors is in conductive contact with the socket to obtain proper operation. Those skilled in the art have appreciated for some time that a great need exists for an improved integrated circuit mounting apparatus that permits simple mounting and reliable releasing of integrated circuit devices.
It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mounting apparatus.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mounting apparatus which permits an individual to rapidly insert and remove an integrated circuit device.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mounting apparatus which permits rapid insertion and removal of an integrated circuit device without damage to the device or the metallic leads associated with the device.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mounting apparatus which may be simply and inexpensively constructed.
The foregoing objects are achieved as is now described. The mounting apparatus includes a stage or platform which is utilized to support an integrated circuit and which is mechanically biased into an upper position. The stage can be urged into a lower position and temporarily restrained in that position. The mounting apparatus includes a plurality of conductive elements disposed adjacent to the stage which are utilized to conductively contact the leads of an integrated circuit while the stage is restrained in the lower position. Upon the completion of testing or utilization the stage may be restored to the upper position, automatically releasing the integrated circuit.

FIG. 5 is a partially schematic perspective view of a mounting pedestal utilized in a third embodiment of the novel apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a development of the cam surfaces circumferentially disposed within the mounting pedestal of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a partially schematic perspective view of an alternate mounting pedestal utilized in the third embodiment of the novel apparatus of the present invention; and
FIG. 8 is a development of the cam surfaces circumferentially disposed within the mounting pedestal of FIG. 7.
With reference now to FIG. 1, there is depicted a sectional side view of one embodiment of the novel integrated circuit mounting apparatus of the present invention. The mounting apparatus of FIG. 1 includes a movable stage or support platform 10 which is utilized to support an integrated circuit 12. Stage 10 is mechanically biased into the position depicted in FIG. 1 by means of spring 14, although those skilled in the art will appreciate that alternate methods of providing mechanical bias may be utilized.
Stage 10 is preferably mounted within a socket 30 formed by wall sections 16 and 18, and in a preferred embodiment of this invention, the socket is gnerally rectangular in shape and includes two additional wall sections joining wall sections 16 and 18, which are not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Wall sections 16 and 18 are flexibly mounted by means of springs 20 and 22 to base section 24.
Disposed within wall sections 16 and 18 are a plurality of conductive knife edge contacts 26 which each include a flexible neck 28 which permits contacts 26 to pivot as indicated in FIG. 1. In this manner, contacts 26 will pivot into wall sections 16 and 18 to permit integrated circuit 12 to enter socket 30, and will pivot out into socket 30 to conductively contact the leads of integrated circuit 12. Additionally, wall sections 16 and 18 each include an aperture 32 adapted to receive spherical members 34 in the manner depicted in FIG. 2. Spherical members 34 are biased into contact with wall sections 16 and 18 by means of spring 36.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the integrated circuit mounting apparatus of FIG. 1 is depicted in the lowered position. As can be seen, as integrated circuit 12 and stage 10 are urged downward, spherical members 34 will engage apertures 32 due to the bias provided by spring 36. As spherical members 34 engage apertures 32, stage 10 is restrained in the lowered position as depicted, enabling contacts 26 to conductively contact the leads of integrated circuit 12. A plurality of electrical conductors (not shown) may be simply connected to contacts 26 to permit integrated circuit 12 to be tested or operated. In order to quickly and easily release integrated circuit 12 from this embodiment of the present invention, wall sections 16 and 18 may be depressed against the bias of springs 20 and 22, causing apertures 32 to move downward below the lowest possible point attainable by spherical members 34. Spherical members 34 are then urged out of apparatus 32 and back into stage 10, against the bias of spring 36, allowing stage 10 to move upward under the bias of spring 14, releasing integrated circuit 12.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is depicted an exploded perspective view of a second embodiment of the novel integrated circuit mounting apparatus of the present invention. Where possible, reference numerals utilized in FIGS. 1 and 2 have been utilized in FIG. 3 for corresponding elements. As can be seen in FIG. 3, socket 30 is generally rectangular in form and is formed of four wall sections including wall sections 16 and 18. Contacts 26 are pivotally mounted as in FIGS. 1 and 2 and extend into socket 30 in order to contact the leads of integrated circuit 12. Stage 10 is mounted within socket 30 and biased toward the upward position by means of spring 14, as in the first embodiment of the present invention.
In this second embodiment of the present invention, cam slot 42 is disposed in at least one side of stage 10 and is utilized to engage pivot and baring pin 40 which is slidably mounted in slot 38 of wall section 44. The cooperative action of cam slot 42 and pivot and bearing pin 40 serve to restrain stage 10 in the lowered and raised positions in a manner which will best be understood upon reference to FIG. 4. As in previous embodiments of the present invention, stage 10, with integrated circuit 12 disposed thereon, when restrained in the lowered position will permit contacts 26 to conductively contact the leads of integrated circuit 12.
With reference now to FIG. 4, there is depicted an enlarged plan view of the operation of cam slot 42 of the apparatus of FIG. 3. Cam slot 42 comprises a depressed section of one side of stage 10 which may be formed during the manufacture of stage 10, by means of injection molding or any other known process for manufacturing such articles. Cam slot 42 engages pivot and bearing pin 40 and includes a first detent 48 and a second detent 50 which correspond to the lowered and raised positions of stage 10 respectively. Those skilled in the art, upon reference to the shape of cam slot 42 will appreciate that when stage 10 is urged downward, pivot and bearing pin 40 will be urged upward in cam slot 42 and will follow the periphery of cam slot 42 to secondary detent 52. In like manner, as stage 10 is released, the bias provided by spring 14 will urge stage 10 and cam slot 42 upward, causing pivot and bearing pin 40 to follow the path outlined in FIG. 4 and be urged toward detent 50. While pivot and bearing pin 40 is disposed in detent 50, stage 10 is disposed in its raised position, maintained in this position by the bias of spring 14.
The next cycle of pivot and bearing pin 40 and cam slot 42 occurs at the next downward urging of stage 10, causing pivot and bearing pin 40 to raise within cam slot 42, following the contours of cam slot 42 to secondary detent 54. Those skilled in the art will again appreciate that upon the release of stage 10, pivot and bearing pin 40 will return to detent 48, thus restraining stage 10 in the lowered position within socket 30. In this manner, it should be apparent that each successive downward urging of stage 10 will cause stage 10 to alternate between its raised and lowered position. This simple operation should greatly enhance the reliability and rapidity with which an operator can insert and remove an integrated circuit device.
With reference now to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, there are depicted two versions of a third embodiment of the present invention and development views of the cam surfaces disposed circumferentially within each version.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is depicted a mounting pedestal 56 which serves to mount stage 10 within a socket 30 (not shown) in this embodiment of the present invention. Mounting pedestal 56 includes a plurality of cam slots 58 and 60 circumferentially disposed along its inner surface. Cam slots 58 and cam slots 60 alternate around the circumference of mounting pedestal 56 and also alternate in comparative length, cam slots 58 being longer than cam slots 60. A rotatable cam element 62 is also disposed within mounting pedestal 56 and is biased upward by means of spring 14. Cam element 62 is also designed to engage alternate ones of the cam slots provided. In this manner, cam element 62 will engage either cam slots 58 or cam slots 60. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that upon engaging cam slots 58, cam element 62 will be urged upward by spring 14 to a raised position, and that while engaging cam slots 60, cam element 62 will be restrained in a lowered position against the bias of spring 14 by the dimensions of cam slots 60. Stage 10 (not shown) is coupled to cam actuator 64 which is designed to fit into mounting pedestal 56 and to engage the raised portions of cam element 62.
The operation of the apparatus of FIG. 5 can best be understood upon reference to the development view depicted in FIG. 6. As can be seen in FIG. 6, cam actuator 64 engages the uppermost portion of cam element 62, and cam element 62 is engaged in cam slots 60. A downward urging of stage 10, which is coupled to or formed by cam actuator 64, will cause cam element 62 to be urged downward. As cam actuator 64 reaches its lowermost position, adjoining the bottommost points 68 of cam slots 58 and 60, the bias provided by spring 14 will urge cam element 62 upward, rotating cam element 62 to the right, as depicted in FIG. 6. It should be apparent that as cam actuator 64 is released, cam element 62 will be urged upward into cam slots 58. Conversely, beginning with cam element 62 engaging cam slots 58, a downward urging of cam actuator 64 in combination with the bias of spring 14, will again urge cam element 62 to the right, permitting cam element 62 to engage cam slots 60 when cam actuator 64 is rleased. In this manner, as in the previous embodiment of the present invention, each downward urging of stage 10 and integrated circuit 12 will cause the integrated circuit mounting apparatus of the present invention to alternate between its raised and lowered position, thus permitting simple engagement and release of the integrated circuit device.
With reference now to FIGS. 7 and 8, an alternate mounting pedestal for this third embodiment of the present invention is depicted. As in FIG. 5, mounting pedestal 56 includes a plurality of cam slots 58 and 60 circumferentially disposed along its inner surface. Again, cam slots 58 and cam slots 60 alternate around the circumference of mounting pedestal 56 and also alternate in comparative length, cam slots 58 again being longer than cam slots 60. A rotatable cam element 62 is disposed within mounting pedestal 56 and in this embodiment of the present invention, is coupled to or formed on stage 10 (not shown). As in FIG. 5, cam element 62 is designed to engage alternate ones of the cam slots provided and is biased upward by the action of spring 14.
The operation of the apparatus of FIG. 7 can best be understood upon reference to the development view depicted in FIG. 8. As can be seen in FIG. 8, a downward urging of stage 10 (not shown) which is coupled to cam element 62, will cause cam element 62 to move downward engaging cam actuator 66. A continued downward urging of cam element 62 will urge cam element 62 to the left, as depicted in FIG. 8, in response to the downward urging and the mating surfaces of cam element 62 and fixed cam actuator 66. As stage 10 (not shown) is released, cam element 62 will respond to the urging of spring 14 and will be urged upward, engaging the bottommost surface of cam slots 58 and 60. The bottommost surfaces of cam slots 58 and 60 will serve to urge cam element 62 to the left, permitting cam element 62 to engage cam slots 58. Similarly, with cam element 62 engaging cam slots 58, a downward urging of stage 10 will cause cam element 62 to engage fixed cam actuator 66 and move to the left, thus permitting cam element 62 to engage cam slot 60 in response to the urging of spring 14 upon the release of stage 10. Again, those skilled in the art will appreciate that in this embodiment of the present invention, successive downward urgings of stage 10 will cause the stage to alternate between a raised and lowered position, thus permitting highly reliable engagement and release of an integrated circuit device.
