  • Publication number: 20220238254
    Abstract: A shielded electrical ribbon cable includes adjacent first and second longitudinal conductor sets where each conductor set includes two or more insulated conductors. The first conductor set also includes a ground conductor that generally lies in the plane of the insulated conductors of the first conductor set. At least 90% of the periphery of each conductor set is encompassed by a shielding film. First and second non-conductive polymeric films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and form cover portions substantially surrounding each conductor set, and pinched portions on each side of each conductor set. When the cable is laid flat, the distance between the center of the ground conductor of the first conductor set and the center of the nearest insulated conductor of the second conductor set is ?1, the center-to-center spacing of the insulated conductors of the second conductor set is ?2, and ?1/?2 is greater than 0.7.

  • Patent number: 10657473
    Abstract: A role action framework allows for comprehensive control of various objects, data, and behaviors within a procurement and requisitioning application. This framework can be extended to be used by various transactions. A common and central mechanism that makes a supplier relationship management application highly configurable can be provided. This mechanism can allow organizations to customize the application in a manner that is most suitable for the different types of those organizations' users. For example, using this mechanism, users having defined roles within the organization can be limited to appropriate interactions with various facets of the application, such as objects, data, and behaviors. Using the mechanism, an organization can define customized roles, and for each role, the organization can define, for each facet of the application, interactions that users assigned to that role can have relative to that facet.

  • Patent number: 10658093
    Abstract: A cable includes one or more conductor sets, one or more dielectric unitary blocks or reservoirs, first and second conductive shielding films disposed on opposite first and second sides of the conductor sets and the dielectric blocks or reservoirs, and an adhesive layer. The shielding films include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in cross-section, the cover portions of the shielding films in combination substantially surround each conductor set and each unitary block or reservoir, and the pinched portions of the shielding films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of the conductor set and on at least one side of the unitary block or the reservoir. The adhesive layer bonds the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the pinched portions of the cable.
