Abstract: Coating compositions that include organic solvents and have a shear thinning rheological profile. At high shear rates the coating compositions have a viscosity low enough to flow through an opening in a high efficiency applicator and be applied to a surface. Under low or no shear, the coating compositions, when applied to a vertical surface, exhibits minimal or no sag.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a flexible linkage for a panel release mechanism is described. The example flexible linkage includes a body formed with a fold structure that unfolds from a first position to a second position under tension and becomes taut upon unfolding. The example flexible linkage also includes a first end of the body to couple to a handle of the panel release mechanism. The example flexible linkage also includes a second end of the body to couple to a latch mechanism.

Abstract: A cable connector with improved performance and ease of use. The connector has staggered ports to reduce crosstalk and to prevent incorrect insertion of a plug into a receptacle. The plug may be constructed with subassemblies, each of which has a lossy central portion. Conductive members embedded within an insulative housing of the subassemblies may be used to electrically connect ground conductors within the subassemblies. Further, the connector may have a quick connect locking screw that can be engaged by pressing on the screw, but requires rotation of the screw to remove. Additionally, a ferrule may be used in making a mechanical connection between a cable bundle and a plug and making an electrical connection between a braid of the cable bundle and a conductive shell of the plug. The ferrule may be in multiple pieces for easy attachment while precluding deformation of the cable, which disrupts electrical performance.

Abstract: A modular electrical connector with broad-side coupled signal conductors in a right angle intermediate portion. Broadside coupling provides balanced pairs for very high frequency operation. The connector may be assembled with multiple subassemblies, each of which may have multiple pairs of signal conductors. The subassemblies may be formed from an insulative portion having grooves in opposite sides into which the intermediate portions of signal conductors. Covers, holding the signal conductors in the grooves, may establish the position of the signal conductors relative to reference conductors at the exterior of subassembly, so as to provide a controlled impedance. Lossy material may be positioned between the pairs in a subassembly and/or may contact the reference conductors of the subassemblies, and the lossy material of the subassemblies may in turn be connected with a conductive structure.

Abstract: An electrical connector for high speed signals. The connector has multiple conductive elements that may serve as signal or ground conductors. A member formed with lossy material and conductive compliant members may be inserted in the connector. The conductive compliant members may be aligned with conductive elements of the connector configured as ground conductors. For a connector configured to carry differential signals, the ground conductors may separate pairs of signal conductors. The member may further include a conductive web, embedded within the lossy material, that interconnects the conductive compliant members. For a receptacle connector, the conductive elements may have mating contact portions aligned along opposing surfaces of a cavity. The conductive elements may have contact tails for attachment to a printed circuit board and intermediate portions connecting the mating contact portions and the contact tails. The conductive compliant members may press against the intermediate portions.

Abstract: A locking cargo restraint with multiple retracting cables is provided for securing cargo to a base, surface, or object. The locking cargo restraint is generally composed of a housing, retractable cables, and spools. The cables may be spooled within the housing to take up slack for storage of the device or to provide tension when cargo is being secured. The spools are spring biased to assist the user in pulling the cables into the housing. The cables are independently operable, allowing the operator to secure symmetrical or irregularly shaped objects. The locking cargo restraint also features a mode selection knob that can effectuate different modes of operation of the device such that the cables may be extended from the housing, retracted into the housing, or tightened about cargo. Further, the device includes a lock mechanism that, when engaged, limits the operation of the mode selection knob.

Abstract: A spring seal for a cage of a high speed I/O connector, such as those compliant with an OSFP standard. The spring seal suppresses resonances in the operating frequency range of the connector in a space between the cage and a transceiver inserted in a channel of the cage to mate with the I/O connector. The spring seal has multiple peaks, separated by valleys, with short conducting paths between the peaks and valleys. The spring seal may connect a conductive exterior of the transceiver to a wall of the cage, with the peaks contacting a conductive exterior of the transceiver and the valleys contacting walls of the cage. The spring seal may have a plurality of slits that reduce the spring force while providing conducting paths between peaks and valleys.
