Abstract: An electromagnetic fuel pump, including a pump, an electronic control circuit board assembly (PCB) and electromagnetic coil operatively arranged to operate the pump, and, a housing arranged to house the pump and the PCB/coil assembly, the housing including an integral inlet port and outlet port.

Abstract: The present invention includes a heat sink assembly within a potted housing and a method for transferring heat within a potted housing. The heat sink assembly includes a bracket, a heat-containing element, and a self-tapping screw operatively arranged to engage the bracket and the heat-containing element. The screw presses the heat-containing element against the bracket. In some cases, the bracket is brass. In some cases, the housing is for a fuel pump and the heat-containing element includes a printed circuit board with an oscillating circuit and a heat sink.

Abstract: A right angle coaxial connector is comprised of a unitary body piece, a terminal, an insert, a post, a stem, a nut, a plurality of insulators and an o-ring. The connector is useful for providing interconnection of a coaxial cable to a port. The unitary body has an open first end with a first bore extending with in the first end. The second end of the body has a second bore which is generally perpendicular to, and intersects with the first bore. The post is disposed within the first bore as is a first insulator. First insulator supports a first end of the terminal. The terminal features a bend of approximately ninety degrees and has a second end adapted to receive a conductor therein, and a first end, perpendicular to the second end which extends outside the connector. A second insulator is provided at the bend of the terminal where the first bore meets the second bore and protects the terminal from being bent back and shorting against the body during installation of the connector.

Abstract: A power bypass connector comprises an entry body having a first end configured to mate with an amplifier. The connector also includes a female body having a first end configured to mate with a coaxial cable having a cooperating male connector. The second end of the female body is configured to mate with the second end of the entry body. A terminal is disposed within the female body and extends beyond the end of the male body. An insulator is disposed within the entry body to mechanically and electrically insulate the terminal from the entry body. A support is disposed within the connector, partially within the entry body and partially within the female body and includes a spring which biases the support and the terminal within the connector. The power bypass connector provides power and RF signal around a CATV amplifier to a cable, can conduct up to approximately 15 amperes, provides 75 ohms impedance, and provides RF performance up to approximately 860 MHz.

Abstract: A power connector for a Cable Television (CATV) housing accepts two conductors at a first end. A first conductor, typically a power conductor is secured to a pin terminal of the connector. A second conductor, typically a ground conductor, is secured to the body of the connector. The connector is useful for easily and conveniently providing power to a CATV housing.

Abstract: A low-cost snap together coaxial cable connector for indoor use. The connector includes a central post made of an electrically conductive material, with the remaining parts made from a low cost non-conductive material such as plastic. Since the conductor is intended for internal use only, there are no o-rings required. The connector meets or exceeds Society of Cable and Television Engineers (SCTE) standards. The connector can be assembled by a relatively unskilled worker and is compatible with existing assembly tools.

Abstract: A snap together cable connector for polyethylene jacketed cable, such as used in cable television systems in Europe, is comprised of a sleeve which snap fits into a first end of a collar. The collar further includes a post which is shorter in length than convention coaxial cable connectors, thus the European 8 mm cable and its associated stiff polyethylene jacket are more easily insertable. Also included as part of the collar is a back insulator for insulation of the coaxial connectors center conductor. The connector further includes a nut which fits over a second end of the collar. The nut includes a stem and an insulator. A terminal is fit within the insulator, the terminal making contact with the center conductor of the coaxial cable when the connector is assembled. O-rings are provided between the collar and sleeve connection, and between the collar and nut connection. The sleeve includes an internal annular ridge to aid in environmental sealing and to minimize RF signal loss.

Abstract: A self-terminating coaxial connector provides for automatic termination of a coaxial cable. The connector includes an internal termination resistor which is only connected in series between the central conductor of a first cable and a grounded body of the connector when a second cable is not installed on the end of the connector. When a second cable is installed on the connector, the terminator resistor is disconnected from the grounded body, thereby removing the termination from the central conductor of the first cable.

Abstract: A decorative cornice assembly to be mounted onto in-store product display fixtures, is disclosed. The various embodiments are modular, and readily can be assembled and installed in store environments. The assemblies support and display graphics displays, such as advertising and informational headpieces. The assemblies are designed to be used in association either with one sided or wall mounted display fixtures or with two sided fixtures. Decorative moldings can be incorporated to complete an attractive visual appearance to the cornice assembly.

Abstract: A valance assembly designed for attachment to existing, in-store display fixtures is disclosed. The valance assembly is completely assembled prior to in-store delivery, and requires only the unfolding of hinged mounting brackets for installation. The valance assembly is intended to carry graphics displays or headers such as advertisements or merchandise promotional information.
