Abstract: A miniaturized high-denisty coaxial interconnect system for use in termination of coaxial signal cables to electrical signal transmission systems is provided. The system contains one or more grouper modules having a staggered array of receptacle grooves in which the grouper modules are housed within a grouper frame. The system is easy to assemble and provide easy attachment and detachment from the transmission system. This invention also provides for an increased density of signal cables with improved spacing due to the unique design of component parts and their arrangement within the system.
Abstract: A connector module is provided which has a plurality of signal contacts and has a ground shield with spring finger ground contacts as an integral part of the shield. This module provides a high fidelity electrical path for electrical signals between flexible signal cable and a mating connector half utilizing a simple array of pins as the signal conducting means. A plurality of modules may be used in one assembly.

Abstract: An assembly for guiding cables or tubes between a stationary part and a part which follows the movements of a bidirectionally rotatable body is provided, wherein the cables or tubes are arranged in two oppositely turning loops on both sides of the axis of rotation of the body.
Abstract: A sealing tape for sealing the gaps between the edge of an opening in an aircraft fuselage and the lid closing said opening comprising a sealing tape that is a one-piece porous polymeric material having a relatively wide flat portion and a narrower enlarged bulb portion. In addition, the porous polymeric material may be filled or plated with metal powder or filings so that the one-piece sealing tape is rendered conductive.

Abstract: Connector housing with contact element chambers, accommodating contact elements one of which is connected to the signal conductor, the other one of which is connected to a shield branched from the signal conductor. A vertical wall of the connector housing adjacent to the contact element chamber of the contact element of the shield is provided with a flap which is connected with the remaining part of the vertical side wall by means of a film hinge. The flap is provided with a cover with recesses for guiding at least one coaxial cable out of the connector housing and with a stress relieving nose which exerts pressure on the branch of the shield when the flap is closed and relieves pressure in this way.

Abstract: This invention relates to connectors for a plurality of shielded cables with matching spacing configurations between signal conductors and connector sockets thus allowing easy termination of higher density cables for high speed electronic signals. Shielded ground conductors are attached to the housing shells of the connector.
Abstract: This invention relates to porous polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter PTFE) materials having the property of rapid recovery and a method for producing these materials. The microstructure of the porous PTFE material consists of nodes interconnected by fibrils, substantially all of the fibrils having a bent or wavy appearance. Articles made from these materials are particularly suitable for use in the medical field, but are also useful in other areas such as filtration and fabric applications.
Abstract: A multicomponent, waterproof, breathable wader comprising right and left panels, each panel having a shape of a legging with an upper and lower region, the upper regions of the right and left panel joined together at a seam running from front to back, means for supporting the seamed panels on a person, said means attached to the upper regions of each panel; the front and back regions of each panel joined to form pant legs, and socks attached to the lower region of each pant leg by a seam.The means for supporting the seamed panels on a person include belts or suspenders.
Abstract: A signal-carrying member responsive to the presence of a solvent and suitable for use in a security cable or a liquid leakage detector, comprises a conductive ink 20, consisting of a particulate conductive material and a non-conductive carrier medium, printed on to a non-conductive strip 17 and conductors 16 such that when the printed material is contacted by a solvent to which the carrier medium is sensitive, conductive material will be released from the printed material and can be used to vary a signal passed through the signal-carrying member.
Abstract: This invention relates to a coaxial cable connector assembly in which a coaxial transmission line terminator is attached to an armor sheath and bushing. This assembly provides for easy adjustment so that the length of the coaxial transmission line matches the length of the protective armor. The invention provides for a coaxial cable and terminator, the coaxial cable, a metallic braid, and a cable terminator having a void space capable of receiving an end of the coaxial cable and a jacket surrounding substantially all of the braid of the cable and abutting the cable terminator.
