  • Patent number: 9577377
    Abstract: A connector assembly for housing a coaxial connection and a terminal connection is provided. The connector assembly includes a male housing, a female housing and a lever configured to seat the male housing into the female housing at an angle. The male housing includes a first support configured to fixedly hold a first coaxial cable end. The female housing includes a second support configured to fixedly hold a second coaxial cable end. A shroud is disposed on a distal end of a second support. The inner surface of the shroud is configured to slidably engage an outer surface of the first support so as to guide the first coaxial cable end along an axis towards the second coaxial cable end, wherein the sliding engagement between the shroud and the first support overcome the angled approach as the male housing is seated into the female housing by actuation of the lever.

  • Patent number: 9531123
    Abstract: A connector housing having a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls and a bottom wall defining an inner space having a top opening is provided. The connector housing includes a first clip disposed on side wall and a second clip disposed on the other side wall, opposite the first clip. The first and second clips include elongated members each having respective first and second blade slots for engaging a stabilizer blade. The second clip includes a neck disposed on a distal end of the second elongated member. The neck defining a pair of shoulders. The second clip further includes a pass-through slot disposed between the neck and the top opening of the housing. The pass-through slot and the shoulders providing space for a tool to form engagement features on the first clip so as to reduce a number of tool dies needed to form the connector housing.

  • Publication number: 20060249012
    Abstract: A hierarchical composite armor is disclosed for protection against projectile impact comprising a plurality of platelets and a matrix substrate. The plurality of platelets are distributed in at least a first layer and in a second layer parallel to the first layer wherein the distribution of the platelets in the second layer is at least slightly offset from and overlaps the distribution of platelets in the first layer. The platelets are less thick than the overall thickness of the composite armor, and the platelets include a first material. The matrix substrate encapsulates the platelets, and the matrix substrate is different than the first material. The platelets and matrix substrate form an interactive network that dissipates a projectile's impact energy over an area much greater than the size of the projectile by synergistically transmitting the impact energy from platelets close to an impact location to platelets away from the impact location.

  • Patent number: 7030970
    Abstract: An optical apparatus for measuring the velocity of flowing biomaterials is disclosed, which has a coherent light source for projecting a light beam with low coherent length; a reference member having mirrors for periodically reflecting lights thereon; a photo detector for receiving photo signals; a splitter for splitting said light beam from said coherent light source into a reference beam and a detecting beam. The disclosed optical apparatus can save the time for complicate computation and the cost of software or hardware for measuring the flowing velocity of biomaterials, especially the flowing velocity of flowing bloods in vessels.

  • Publication number: 20030197618
    Abstract: A smoke collector case includes a hollow housing with a base and an upper cover. Pluralities of slots are mounted on the sidewall of the hollow housing. The hollow housing includes a plurality of first fins in an “I” manner that are spaced apart from one another and set approximately near to the sidewall of the hollow housing. The hollow housing further includes a plurality of second fins, which are shaped in a bar manner and disposed between every two first fins.

  • Patent number: 6207504
    Abstract: A method of fabricating flash erasable programmable read only memory. A substrate having an isolation structure is provided. A tunnel oxide layer and a floating gate layer are formed in sequence over substrate and are patterned. An ion implantation is performed and a first doped region is formed in the substrate. An oxidation step is performed to form a first oxide layer over the substrate. A nitride/oxide layer and a control gate layer are formed in sequence over the substrate. The control gate layer, the nitride/oxide layer, the first oxide layer, and the floating gate layer are patterned until the substrate is exposed. An ion implantation step is performed to form a common source region and a drain region in the substrate. Spacers are formed over the sidewalls of the control gate layer, the nitride/oxide layer, the first oxide layer, and the floating gate layer. A self-aligned silicide step is performed to form silicide layers over the control gate layer, the common source region, and the drain region.
