Abstract: Communications jacks include at least first through third jackwire contacts and a flexible substrate that has a first finger and a second finger. The first jackwire contact and the third jackwire contact are each mounted on the first finger and the second jackwire contact is mounted on the second finger.

Abstract: Communications jacks include a housing having a plug aperture that is configured to receive a mating RJ-45 plug along a longitudinal axis and eight jackwire contacts that are arranged as four differential pairs of jackwire contacts, each of the jackwire contacts including a plug contact region that extends into the plug aperture. A first of the jackwire contacts is configured to engage a longitudinally extending surface of a first blade of a mating RJ-45 plug when the mating RJ-45 plug is fully received within the plug aperture.

Abstract: Patch cords are provided that include a communications cable that has at least first through fourth conductors and a plug that is attached to the cable. The plug includes a housing that receives the cable, a printed circuit board, first through fourth plug contacts, and first through fourth conductive paths that connect the first through fourth conductors to the respective first through fourth plug contacts. The first and second conductors, conductive paths, and plug contacts form a first differential transmission line, and the third and fourth conductors, conductive paths, and plug contacts form a second differential transmission line. Each of the first through fourth plug contacts has a first segment that extends longitudinally along a first surface of the printed circuit board, and the signal current injection point into the first segment of at least some of the first through fourth plug contacts is into middle portions of their respective first segments.

Abstract: Communications jacks include a plurality of contacts that are configured to move between a resting position and a deflected position and at least one biasing member that is separate from the plurality of contacts that biases at least a first of the plurality of contacts towards its resting position. The jacks further include a printed circuit board that includes a first contact structure that is configured to electrically connect to the first of the plurality of contacts when the first of the plurality of contacts is in its deflected position.

Abstract: Communications jacks include a housing having a plug aperture. A plurality of spring members extend into the plug aperture, and a plurality of plug contacts are mounted on respective ones of the spring members. The communications jack further includes a plurality of fixed contacts. Each fixed contact is configured to be in electrical contact with a respective one of the plug contacts when a plug is received within the plug aperture.

Abstract: A communications jack includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, first and second opposed side surfaces, and a plug aperture configured to receive a mating plug at a front of the housing. At least one of the first side surface, the second side surface, the top surface, and the bottom surface of the housing includes a first feature configured to engage a first mounting structure associated with a first mounting opening to mount the jack in the first mounting opening. One of the top and bottom surfaces of the housing includes a second feature configured to engage an adapter to mount the jack in a second mounting opening that is different than the first mounting opening.

Abstract: A material for use in a laser heterostructure which is lattice matched material to ZnSe and has a high band gap. The material is Mg.sub.y Zn.sub.1-y S.sub.x Se.sub.1-x with the ratio of sulphur to magnesium of 0.28/0.19. Lasing devices constructed from layers of this material and ZnSe can be either electron beam pumped or electrically driven.

Abstract: A monolithic solid scintillation body with a monocrystalline or polycrystalline morphology having generally constant luminescence from about 25.degree. C. to at least about 200.degree. C. and average crystal domain grain diameters of at least about 5 millimeters and being composed of zinc sulfide doped with copper and a method of measuring radiation using the scintillation body and an apparatus for measuring radiation are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring radiation are disclosed in which a scintillation body intercepts incident radiation to cause the body to emit a population of scintillation photons, the population of scintillation photons is spectrally decomposed into at least a first subpopulation of photons and a second subpopulation of photons (the first subpopulation originating from faster time decay processes than the second subpopulation) and at least one of the subpopulations is detected.
