  • Patent number: 11095083
    Abstract: A resetting tool comprising an elongate housing having first and second ends, and defining a longitudinal channel. The first end can comprise first opposing flex members that are compliant, and the longitudinal channel can comprise a tapered portion about the second end. A movable rod is slidable bi-directionally within the longitudinal channel, and has a first end portion operable to cause the first opposing flex members to transition from a retracted position to an extended position to reset a female electrical contact. The movable rod has a second end portion comprising second opposing flex members operable to slide through the tapered portion to cause the second opposing flex members to transition from an extended position to a retracted position to reset a male electrical contact. The resetting tool operates from a mating side of the respective connectors in support of the male and female electrical contacts.

  • Patent number: 10983190
    Abstract: A PNT sensor short-range relay communication system includes an electronic PNT sensor module configured to determine a first position of the PNT sensor module and to output a PNT signal indicating a second position of the PNT sensor module with respect to the first position. A mobile relay module is in signal communication with the PNT sensor module. The mobile relay module is configured to communicate the PNT signal to at least one terminal device located remotely from the PNT sensor module and the mobile relay module. In this manner, positional information can be determined without relying on a satellite navigation system.

  • Patent number: 10790615
    Abstract: A quick connect adapter is provided for locking together a pair of coupled or mated electronic cable connectors via axial movement of an outer sleeve of the quick connect adapter. The outer sleeve can comprise a plurality of protrusions formed inwardly about the outer sleeve. An inner sleeve can have a plurality of slots and a spring seat channel in open communication with the plurality of slots. A radial compression spring can be supported in the spring seat channel, and can be operable between an uncompressed state and a compressed state. Upon connecting a first cable connector body to a second cable connector body, and in response to axial movement of the outer sleeve in a direction towards the radial compression spring, the plurality of protrusions slide through the plurality of slots to engage and compress the radial compression spring, thus locking the connection of the first cable connector body to the second cable connector body.
