  • Publication number: 20160246164
    Abstract: An apparatus used to align a wireless phone camera with a magnification scope (for example a spotting scope, binocular, telescope, microscope, or similar optical devices) by attaching an alignment device to a wireless phone or matching phone case using a removable double sided adhesive strip, with the device sight hole aligned with the wireless phone camera. The eyepiece of the magnification scope is modified by placing circular elastic bands of approximately ¾ inch width, layered as necessary over the circumference of the magnification scope eyepiece such that the modified eyepiece diameter matches the slightly tapered interior diameter of the alignment device eyepiece receiving ring, such that the receiving ring can be pressed over the magnification scope eyepiece until it rests against the forward surface of the magnification scope eyepiece with a friction fit. The elastic bands are manufactured with a protruding flap or flaps, which facilitates band removal.

  • Patent number: 5664952
    Abstract: A multichannel transmission line connector assembly consists of a plug detachably connected to a receptacle. The plug has multiple sockets and the receptacle has multiple pins for electrical connection to associated sockets. The pin and socket coupling units are used to carry power, control, and data signals. The connector assembly also includes a conductive ground signal plate which is dedicated to carrying the ground signal. The plate extends along, and preferably encompasses, the pin and socket units. In this manner, the conductive ground signal plate serves a dual function of carrying the ground signal and operating as a protective sheath to prevent undesired signal interference. The connector assembly is well suited for transmission lines carrying high frequency signals.
