Patent number: 10790615Abstract: A quick connect adapter is provided for locking together a pair of coupled or mated electronic cable connectors via axial movement of an outer sleeve of the quick connect adapter. The outer sleeve can comprise a plurality of protrusions formed inwardly about the outer sleeve. An inner sleeve can have a plurality of slots and a spring seat channel in open communication with the plurality of slots. A radial compression spring can be supported in the spring seat channel, and can be operable between an uncompressed state and a compressed state. Upon connecting a first cable connector body to a second cable connector body, and in response to axial movement of the outer sleeve in a direction towards the radial compression spring, the plurality of protrusions slide through the plurality of slots to engage and compress the radial compression spring, thus locking the connection of the first cable connector body to the second cable connector body.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Jonathan Vega, Alan K.

Patent number: 7841007Abstract: A unique combination of several functions achieves a system by which consumers can validate the actual security status of a website before they decide to trust it, and therefore transact with it. In one example implementation, a security system includes a scanning engine that periodically and thoroughly scans the network and connected components of an on-line service such as a website. The results are stored and perhaps reported back to the service via alerts and the like. The website includes a “bug” which visitors can click on. The visual appearance of the “bug” can be altered (e.g. made invisible) in accordance with a determined level of security for the website. By clicking on the “bug,” the visitors can also be displayed web pages showing the security status of the website. Based on their review of such web pages, visitors can then decide whether to trust the website for further transactions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2003Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: ScanAlertInventors: David Currie, Kenneth Leonard, Benjamin Tyler
