  • Patent number: 12272896
    Abstract: An example connector assembly includes a guide shielding cage with a cage body and an upper heat sink bracket. The cage body includes upper window. A lower wall of the upper heat sink bracket is formed with a window corresponding to the upper window. The connector assembly also includes an upper heat sink module including a heat dissipating member. The heat dissipating member is capable of moving between a releasing position which is higher and an acting position which is lower relative to the upper insertion space. The cage body further includes fixing pieces positioned at two sides of the top wall and extend upwardly. The lower wall of the upper heat sink bracket engages with the fixing pieces of the cage body, and the upper heat sink bracket further comprises a latching piece which extends from the lower wall and latches into the top wall of the cage body.

  • Patent number: 12260060
    Abstract: A smart digital computer platform is disclosed that collects, analyzes, and/or renders appropriate information about fugitive emissions identified by a sensor network-based emissions monitoring system in a facility. More specifically to the methods used by the smart digital computer platform to analyze, filter, and transform the collected monitoring data into a visual output that is capable of being rendered on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a screen display with, in some embodiments, a restricted form factor. For example, smart analytics may be used to cull, filter, and transform the data displayed in a pop-up dialog box on a GUI. In another example, the transformed data may be translated into a visual, graphical element that conveys an abundance of appropriate, tailored information to a particular type of user viewing the GUI.

  • Patent number: 12248190
    Abstract: A biased connector assembly is disclosed that includes a receptacle configured to mount to a substrate and form an electrical connection therewith, and a plug connector. The receptacle includes a cage that defines a port having a connector positioned therein. The connector may include a slot that is aligned with the port. The port includes one or more biasing members positioned therein. The plug connector includes a pluggable transceiver module to be inserted into the port and a card with at least one contact pad configured to engage with a terminal of the connector. The one or more biasing members may bias the plug module away from the connector such that a stub length of the contact pad is within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 12244101
    Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed to include a shielding cage and a receptacle connector. The shielding cage forms at least one insertion space and a front end port communicatively coupled to the insertion space, the insertion space is defined by a top wall, a bottom wall and two side walls which cooperate with each other. The receptacle connector is provided to a rear segment of the shielding cage and includes a receptacle housing. The shielding cage further includes at least one stopping piece and at least one support stopping block which extend into the insertion space, the support stopping block is interposed between the stopping piece and the receptacle housing and supports the stopping piece. In another manner, the shielding cage may include a withdrawing stop portion and a rear stopping piece, the withdrawing stop portion is used to limit the receptacle housing to displace rearwardly, the rear stopping piece is used to stop the receptacle housing from behind the receptacle housing.

  • Patent number: 12237604
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and a pair of contacts which are secured together by a clamp mounted within the housing. Each electrical contact includes a planar body, spring fingers extending from a first end of the body, and a coupling extending from the body to couple the electrical contacts to the housing. A first deflection zone between the clamp and first ends of the spring fingers allows the spring fingers to deflect in a lateral direction to receive the conductive component within the receiving space. A second deflection zone between the first ends of the spring fingers and the second ends of the bodies allow the bodies and spring fingers to deflect in the lateral direction when the conductive component is received within the receiving space, but the conductive component is not directly aligned with the receiving space.
