Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method and system for providing sports betting information, in real time, utilizing a standard Internet connection on a computer to display the odds from a plurality of sports books. The system provides its users with a line seeker alert, a major line move alert, a bet tracker, and a fully customizable display. A method of gaining real time sports betting information without the use of a web browser, through the use of a separate program written in the C++ programming language is disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical contact is mounted in the insulated body portion and is locked therein between a pair of shoulders by a flexible tube. An electrical connector has an insulator body portion which can be extended through an opening of a housing and is then upset by ultrasonic welding to lock it to the enclosure. Electrical leads are inserted through the electrical contact and are connected to it by crimping and/or welding to provide an electrical connection.

Abstract: An EMI filter formed with a U-shaped ferrite core with parallel first and second legs and a center leg surrounded by a grounding and shorting strap and a capacitor connected between the grounding and shorting strap and a portion of a conductor which extends between the first and second legs. Two or more of the filters can be formed as a stacked array. The filter has a substantially improved frequency response over the prior art.

Abstract: An electrical jack which comprises a front housing, a back housing, and housing insert which are assembled together with electrical leads. A shield fits over the assembly so as to electrically shield it and to ground the unit to a suitable printed circuit board. Ferrite sleeves or a ferrite unit formed as a ferrite block are mounted in the back housing and the leads pass therethrough so as to remove undesired frequencies from the leads and a compact jack is formed.

Abstract: A power entry module of small size which can be mounted in a minimum size opening and which can also be provided with end or side extenders so that it can be mounted in larger openings. Alternately, a flange may be connected to the unit. A plug in filter unit and/or a plug in interconnection unit and/or a plug in surge suppressor unit can also be connected to the basic unit.

Abstract: An electrical contact plug which includes a ferrite through which an input or output cable passes and which utilizes a metal cover for holding the plug assembly together such that the metal housing also provides a grounding arrangement wherein the plug portion can be connected to ground through the cable shield of a shielded cable.

Abstract: A modular jack comprising an insulating body member wherein a plurality of electrical contacts engaged capacitors and which also may be provided with ferrite inductors to produce series inductance.

Abstract: A broadband RFI power line filter in which emission filters designed for the 10 KHz to 30 MHz range are combined with high frequency filter elements so as to produce a filter in the 10 KHz to 1000 MHz range. The filter is divided into sections which are constructed in separate electrically isolated compartments so as to increase the attenuation which can be obtained with filters which are not separated from each other and electrically shielded compartments and the level of attenuation which must be achieved from each compartment is reduced in the invention.

Abstract: A modular jack for telephones in which bypass capacitors have been connected to the leads so as to bypass noise and other high frequency signals. End mounted ceramic capacitors extend from the leads to a ground plane which is provided with flexible fingers and which is connected to a suitable ground so as to provide a grounding contact for the capacitors.

Abstract: A power line filter for removing interference is provided which is formed on a printed circuit board which has an extended grounding area and to which are mounted parallel capacitors, a pair of line inductors and a parallel resistor. Each of the inductors is formed as multi-section coils wound on plastic bobbins and which can be machine wound and the two wound inductors are then mounted on rectangular cores of U-U or U-I-shape to form the line inductors. At least two of the capacitors are rectangular shaped and are mounted on opposite ends of the line inductors and the assembled filter is placed into a case and encapsulated through openings formed in the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An A.C. power entry module for supplying A.C. power to equipment which provides A.C. fusing, power on-off switching, RFI filtering and selection of voltage. The module can be utilized for both U.S. and European style fusing and a number of different voltage options are available which can be selected by merely changing the position of a circuit board. The contacts for engaging the fuses are mounted such that an operator cannot come in contact with them and the European or U.S. fuses can be easily selected by inverting a fuse holder board.

Abstract: A capacitor arrangement comprising a pair of line to ground planar capacitors with electrical terminals on each side with a grounding tab connected to the electrical terminals on the first sides of the line to line capacitors, and with a pair of hair pin leads, respectively, connected to the terminals on the second sides of the line to ground capacitors. A modified form includes a line to line capacitor connected between the line to ground capacitors with very short leads so as to reduce the inductance.

Abstract: Apparatus for isolating common mode and differential mode radio frequency noise in electronic and digital equipment from each other and quantitatively determining or displaying each for conformity to standard and for correction. The apparatus is likewise capable of determining and displaying the total of the two modes of noise.

Abstract: A transient generator for testing the susceptibility of, particularly, digital equipment to noise and the efficacy of filter designs in removing it. The device is adapted for capacitative coupling to the equipment and employs digital circuitry for the control of the output transient.

Abstract: A two line power filter for digital equipment or the like comprising a pair of toroidal cores on both of which both wires are wound, on one in flux adding relationship and on the other in flux opposing or cancelling relationship in reference to the primary power supply, together with capacitive shunts between the wires and from the wires to ground to filter out both common mode and differential mode noise.
