Patent number: 11567891Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a multi-rack rack controller for an automated infrastructure management (AIM) system comprising a plurality of independent patching equipment bus interfaces. Another embodiment is directed to a rack controller comprising at least one rack controller interface configured to connect the rack controller to another rack controller. Each rack controller interface comprises a respective termination circuit. The rack controller is configured to determine whether each rack controller interface is connected to another rack controller as a function of a respective sense signal developed by the termination circuit associated with said rack controller interface. Another embodiment is directed to a rack controller comprising a base unit having a locate button disposed on the front of the base unit. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Matthew R. Kiener, Ryan E. Enge, Patrick Fariello, Dallas Bartlett, Thomas Eastham, Lary Blake Van Scoy, Philip Smith

Patent number: 8686866Abstract: A communications patching system includes a patch panel having a plurality of connector ports on a side thereof, and a sensor module secured to the patch panel side. The sensor module includes a plurality of pairs of IR emitters and sensors, with each emitter/sensor pair located adjacent to a respective one of the connector ports. Each emitter/sensor pair is configured to detect insertion and removal of a patch cord connector from a respective connector port. The sensor module includes a housing and a printed circuit board (PCB) secured to the housing. The IR emitters and sensors are electrically connected to the PCB, and the PCB includes a processor and memory for controlling the IR emitters and sensors.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Patrick Fariello, Danny L.

Publication number: 20050186815Abstract: An electronic device enclosure grounding structure (200) that provides a low impedance path to ground for selected AC frequencies. A conductive portion of an electronic enclosure, such as a conductive back (108) of a cell phone (100) has a capacitive coupling to a second surface (206) that is conductively isolated from the enclosure. Second surface (206) is connected to a ground point (207) through a conductive arm (205) that has a predefined inductance. The resulting series capacitance-inductance circuit (300) allows a reactive connection between the enclosure (108) and ground (207) that has a settable resonant frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2004Publication date: August 25, 2005Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: Vijay Asrani, Paul Morningstar, Patrick Fariello
