  • Patent number: 6824412
    Abstract: A connector for twisted pair cables used to transmit high frequency data signals. The conductors of the twisted pair are connected to contact blades by an auto-latching mechanism adapted to ensure contact with the corresponding contact blades of a mating connector. Each contact blade has constant thickness but has an initial width in its rectilinear part and a narrower second width in the portion where contact is made with the corresponding portion of the contact blade of the other connector, such that the common mode impedance is the same in the rectilinear part and in the portion where the contact takes place.

  • Patent number: 6225031
    Abstract: Apertures in a circuit board or chip carrier are filled with a cured photosensitive dielectric material by substantially filling the apertures in the circuit board or chip carrier and applying a layer of a thickness to the circuit board or chip carrier with a positive photosensitive dielectric material, exposing the photosensitive dielectric material to actinic radiation in such a way as to leave material located in apertures unexposed to the radiation; baking the structure so as to harden the unexposed photosensitive dielectric material and developing the exposed dielectric material in order to remove it leaving behind cured photosensitive dielectric material in the apertures.

  • Patent number: 5875010
    Abstract: A display panel and method of making same in which the panel comprises a plurality of display devices mounted between light-transmitting plates. The structure includes clear and opaque bonding materials positioned to retain alignment and provide acceptable brightness, contrast, and resolution while holding the display devices in contact with the light-transmitting plates.
