  • Magnetic clamp device
    Patent number: 6283766
    Abstract: A magnetic clamp device which allows the grounding of a conductive flange of test equipment to a metallic ground plane in a quick and efficient manner. The device includes a top plate and a spring-loaded bar secured to the top plate. The bar is straddled by a pair of magnet assemblies so that when the bar is placed over the conductive flange of the test equipment, the magnet assemblies straddle the flange and are magnetically secured to the ground plane, with the spring-loaded bar pressing the flange into conductive engagement with the ground plane.

  • Electromagnetic compliance and electrostatic discharge shield assembly for an optical fiber connector
    Patent number: 6241398
    Abstract: A conductive tubular member surrounding an optical fiber and its connector termination. When the fiber connector termination engages a complementary connector extending through an opening in a conductive faceplate of an electronics system, the tubular member engages the securement nut holding the connector to the faceplate to function as a waveguide which attenuates radiation leaking from non-conductive gaps in the faceplate and connector. In addition, the tubular member functions as a ground path for electrostatic discharges.
