Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an adjustable arm rest attachment mechanism that includes an outer bearing non-rotatably fixed to a seat and defining a first guide groove. An inner bearing is non-rotatably fixed to an arm rest, and defines a second guide groove. The inner bearing is rotatable relative to the outer bearing, and is disposed over the outer bearing. A pin extends through the second guide groove and into the first guide groove. The pin and the first and second guide grooves are configured such that, if the arm rest is rotated downward within an adjustment zone, then wall surfaces of the first guide groove selectively engage and disengage the pin, and simultaneously, wall surfaces of the second guide groove selectively engage and disengage the pin, thereby creating a varying frictional force capable of impeding further rotation of the arm rest.

Abstract: A magnetically coupled RJ-45 modular jack assembly for Ethernet applications including a coil pack comprised of a plurality of magnetic circuits. Various numbers of the magnetic circuits may be coupled together in series by way of a variety of wires which may then be soldered directly to a printed circuit board. In order to increase the robustness of the magnetic circuit connection, each group of magnetic circuits coupled together in series, may be encapsulated in an encapsulation material. Additionally, during encapsulation, numerous of the groups of magnet circuits may be encapsulated allowing a plurality of magnetic series to be grouped together further increasing the robustness of the magnetic circuits. Encapsulated coil sets (196, 198) may be fitted together (FIG. 10) and located in notch (190) in the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is shown which includes both full shielding and signal conditioning. The assembly includes a front housing portion in the form of a modular jack, and a rear housing portion which forms a recessed area or “well” for receiving the components for signal conditioning. The components are mounted on a printed circuit board, and placed in the recessed area. The housings are aligned and locked together.
