Patent number: 11855380Abstract: A plug connector assembly comprises a plug connector having an elastic locking structure for locking to a socket connector. The elastic locking structure is movable between a locking position engaged with the socket connector, and an unlocking position separated from the socket connector. An adapter of the assembly includes a pressing structure and a pull stop structure. The plug connector is received within the adapter for mating with the socket connector slidably inserted into the adapter. When the plug connector is received within the adapter, the pressing structure presses and holds the elastic locking structure in the unlocking position, and the pull stop structure abuts the elastic locking structure for preventing the plug connector from being pulled out of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignees: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Sibas Electronics (Xiamen) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Liqiang (Gino) Yao, Yong (Chris) Wang, Renzhong (Andy) Lin, Qiang Yuan

Publication number: 20220399674Abstract: A sealing installation device for hermetically mounting a housing to a panel includes an elastic sealing washer and a connection member. The elastic sealing washer is disposed between a base of the housing and the panel and seals a mating interface between the base and the panel. The elastic sealing washer has a through slot into which a protrusion formed on a bottom surface of the base is inserted. A thickness of the elastic sealing washer is greater than a height of the protrusion. The connection member connects the base of the housing, the elastic sealing washer, and the panel together. A difference between the thickness of the elastic sealing washer and the height of the protrusion is a predetermined value equal to a compression amount of the elastic sealing washer after the housing is installed on the panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co.

Patent number: 10188330Abstract: A physiological monitoring system may receive a sensor signal from a physiological sensor. The system may determine a parameter based on the sensor signal, for example variability of a blood oxygen saturation value or the percent modulation of a light signal. The system may determine a light drive parameter limit based on one or more parameters. For example, the system may determine a light drive current limit. The frequency of changes in the limit may be regulated using a state machine and other techniques that include hysteresis. An extant light drive parameter may be updated or changed in accordance with the light drive parameter limit and a light drive signal may be generated based on the light drive parameter.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Ron Kadlec, John Mackinnon, Greg Lund, Andy Lin

Publication number: 20150095202Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for supplementing product records with product groups that are relevant to the product records. Queries form users may be analyzed to extract keywords. Search results for keywords are evaluated to determine category consistency among product records, including such values as entropy and taxonomy depth. Those keywords with search results having adequate category consistency are selected as product groups and the search results associated with the product groups. Product groups are associated with product records according to a random walk of a graph having as nodes products and product groups and links representing belonging of a product to a product group. Product groups may be selected based on a transition probability based on a random walk and a quality score based on usage of a product group page for the product group.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2013Publication date: April 2, 2015Applicant: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.Inventors: Shankara B.
