Abstract: Heavy equipment includes first and second hydraulic pumps, and first and second hydraulic actuators, where the first hydraulic actuator facilitates a first work function of the heavy equipment and the second hydraulic actuator facilitates a second work function of the heavy equipment. The heavy equipment further includes valving and a computerized controller. The valving is configured to allow the first hydraulic pump to be coupled to the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator, and to allow the second hydraulic pump to be coupled to the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator. The computerized controller is coupled to the valving, and has a logic module.

Abstract: A spring loaded electrical connector system includes a socket contact, at least one biasing element, and a pin contact. The socket contact extends along a first axis and has a base and a plurality of tines which extend out from the base and are arranged around the first axis to define a passage with an open end The biasing element biases at least one of the plurality of tines towards the first axis. The pin contact detachably engages in the passage with the at least one of the plurality of tines biased by the biasing element.

Abstract: A connector includes a non-conductive housing with a passage which extends through the housing, a biasing device secured in the passage in the housing, and a conductive contact positioned in the passage in the housing. The conductive contact includes a cantilever beam section, a non-linear locking section, and a tail section. The cantilever beam section is connected to the biasing device, the non-linear locking section is seated in the passage in the housing, and the tail section extends from the passage in the housing.

Abstract: An electrical socket contact with a plurality of tines for mating with a pin contact. At least one tine functions as an initial arc receiving tine while another tine functions as an axially extending pin contacting tine. The pin contacting tine has a shorter axial length than the arc receiving tine so that the arc receiving tine produces a make-first/break-last electrical contact.

Abstract: A low insertion force electrical socket contact has a plurality of inwardly extending projections that function as arc receiving elements upon the initial mating of the socket contact with a corresponding male pin contact. The spacing of the inwardly extending arc receiving elements is such that the maximum transverse distance therebetween across the socket contact bore is greater than the maximum transverse distance of the male pin contact. Further insertion mating of the male pin contact establishes electrical contact with a plurality of integrally formed spring contacts in the socket contact.

Abstract: A connector assembly (6) comprises, conductive signal contacts (9) and a ground bus (10), a separator (16) between first and second rows of the contacts (9), the contacts (9) and the ground bus (10) being supported against the separator (16), the separator (16) having fingers (19) between adjacent contacts (9) of each row, and the ground bus (10) and the contacts (9) being of greater height than the fingers (19) for ease in connection to wires (2, 5) of an electrical cable (1).

Abstract: A wire organizer (16) comprises, signal wire receiving passages (22), fingers (19) receiving electrical contacts (9) of an electrical connector assembly (6), and each of the passages (22) that receives a signal wire (2) superposes the signal wire (2) over one of the contacts (9) for joined connection of the signal wire (2) to the contact (9).
