Publication number: 20240106153Abstract: A low-profile mezzanine connector. The connector is simple to manufacture and can be reliably formed even with a stack height of 4 mm or less yet has high signal integrity. The connector has a field of identically shaped contacts that are functionally differentiated through features of the housing, including lossy material in patches with narrower projections electrically coupled to contacts designated as ground contacts. The mating portions of the contacts are adjacent a wall of the housing, which is tapered to increase the effective dielectric constant in the vicinity of the signal contacts. Each contact may have a hole in it to engage an insertion tool to enable repeatable and stable insertion of the contacts into a housing. The footprint for mounting the connector to a PCB may include signal vias offset from the mounting pads for signal contacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Amphenol CorporationInventors: Mark R.

Publication number: 20190305692Abstract: This disclosure describes an innovative circuit that is an alternative to large, costly transformers used for the purpose of splitting an AC voltage into two equal, half amplitude waveforms. Typical utility serviced entities have a single phase that is split into two thus providing 240Vac and two branches of 120Vac that are out of phase relative to each other. DC to AC inverters that are required to provide the same type of service, use transformers at their output to split that output into the same levels. These transformers, in addition to cost and size, adversely affect the efficiency of the system. This invention replaces the transformer with a capacitor based solution that is less costly, very much smaller and has virtually no impact on system efficiency. In addition, this invention can tolerate 100% load imbalance between the split voltages, reducing the need for precise balancing of the loads at the electrical distribution panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2019Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventors: James Augustus Allen, JR., William Benjamin Reed, Eugene Francis Krzywinski

Patent number: 10405839Abstract: A minimally-invasive tissue retrieval device includes a flexible, liquid-impermeable bag with wires attached to the interior surface by an attachment mechanism that releases the wires when pulled. The wires extend into the bag from opposing sides of the bag opening, down to the bottom of the bag. Ends of the wires extend vertically upward out of the opening and are attachable to a wire retracting element rotatably attached to a housing, such that rotation of the retracting element relative to the housing winds the wires about the retracting element, pulling them away from the interior surface, and upward towards the opening. The bag is insertable into a surgical cavity, where a tissue sample is inserted into the bag. Rotatably-retracting the wires cuts through the tissue, which can then be removed in sections through the opening positioned outside the surgical cavity to prevent the spread of tissue fragments.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Altor Health LLCInventors: Andrew Thomas, Samuel Crandall Thomas, Benjamin Reed Fogg, Joseph Bradley Fogg

Patent number: 9946745Abstract: Described is a reliable and efficient design for a transactional status oracle (“ReTSO”), which supports large-scale storage systems. ReTSO uses a centralized scheme and implements snapshot isolation, a property that guarantees that read operations read a consistent snapshot of the data store. The centralized scheme of ReTSO enables a lock-free commit algorithm that prevents unreleased locks of a failed transaction from blocking other transactions. Each transaction submits the identifiers of modified rows to the ReTSO, the transaction is committed only if none of the modified rows is committed by a concurrent transaction, and a log of the committed transaction is cached. To recover from failures, before a client is notified of a change, the change cached is first persisted into a write-ahead log, such that the memory state can be fully reconstructed by reading from the write-ahead log. Furthermore, ReTSO implements a lazy, auto-garbage collector hash map that reduces the number of memory accesses per request.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Excalibur IP, LLCInventors: Flavio Junqueira, Benjamin Reed, Maysam Yabandeh
