  • Publication number: 20240339789
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly having a printed circuit board, signal wires, and an impedance mold. The signal wires transmit signals at a determined signal speed. The signal wires have ends which are connected to the printed circuit board. The impedance mold cooperates with the printed circuit and the signal wires. The impedance mold is formed from a tunable hot melt adhesive composition. A dielectric constant of the tunable hot melt adhesive composition is adjusted to be compatible with the desired signal performance characteristics of the signals transmitted over the signal wires to the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20240313476
    Abstract: An electrical connector with a housing having at least one slot for receiving an electrical wafer therein. Signal contacts are positioned on a first side of the at least one slot. The signal contact resilient contact arms exert a first normal force on the electrical wafer inserted in the at least one slot. At least one ground shield contact member is positioned on a second side of the at least one slot. The ground shield resilient contact arms exert a second normal force on the wafer inserted in the at least one slot. The second normal force exerted by the ground shield resilient contact arms is greater than the first normal force exerted by the signal contact resilient contact arms. The wafer is biased toward the signal contact resilient contact arms of the signal contacts regardless of a thickness of the wafer.

  • Publication number: 20240069514
    Abstract: A convenient, water-saving and labor-saving FROG irrigation controller and system are provided, which determine the appropriate water budget and schedule for the property's landscaping based on evapotranspiration data for the geographic area, any regulation data, and property-specific data, with consideration given to reduction in watering days, increase in soil watering depth, and day of year. Once set, the FROG controller provides incremental adjustments over the course of the year; the homeowner no longer needs to re-set the watering program seasonally to automatically comply with local mandated and voluntary watering restrictions. One aspect provides a web-based wizard that is used to determine a customized water budget/schedule which is input into the FROG controller. Another aspect provides an integration of a network of FROG controllers with a central command unit.
