  • Patent number: 11965804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and alerting to likely leaks in an electronic display assembly are provided. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a testing area, and a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to ambient air in an ambient environment and gas within the testing area. A controller determines one or more differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor, and generates and transmits an electronic notification where the differential pressure readings are below a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11921010
    Abstract: Electronic display assemblies providing enhanced leak detection, and systems and methods related to the same, are provided. A differential pressure sensor detects a differential pressure between an ambient environment and a testing area of the electronic display assembly. A controller determines differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor and selectively generates electronic notifications based on said differential pressure readings.

  • Patent number: 7153249
    Abstract: A weight training bench apparatus includes a support frame; an elongate bench platform mounted on the support frame at an angle to define a platform upper end and a platform lower end and having upper and lower platform segments extending between the platform upper end and the platform lower end, the upper platform segment being positioned at a first angle relative to a horizontal direction, and the lower platform segment having an upper first portion extending at a second angle relative to a horizontal direction which is smaller than the first angle to protrude forwardly from the upper platform segment, to follow the curvature of the user spine lumbar region, and has a lower second portion positioned at a third angle relative to a horizontal direction which is larger than the second angle, and a seat mounted to extend forwardly from the platform lower end.

  • Patent number: 7090349
    Abstract: Optical lens element with a prescription zone, suitable for use in wraparound or protective type eyewear. The element may also include a peripheral vision zone, with no prismatic jump between the zones. Design methods for the prescription zone include temporally rotating a prescription section about a vertical axis through the optical center thereof, and/or decentring the optical axis of said prescription section relative to the geometric axis thereof, and providing partial surface correction for astigmatic and/or mean power errors. For prescription powers in the range ?6.0 to +6.0 diopters with 0 to 3 cyl, the optical lens element may be designed such that its front surface can be mounted in a frame of constant curvature of at least 5.0 diopters, with its back surface providing good clearance from temples and eyelashes. Applications include ophthalmic sunglass lenses.

  • Publication number: 20060084312
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided that protects the electrical connector and associated components from harsh mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements. A jack is received by a jack housing, and a plug is received by a plug housing. The jack is adapted to receive the plug. A first seal member is positioned between the plug housing and the jack housing to form a seal therebetween when the jack and the plug are connected. A coupling member is attached to the plug housing and is adapted to receive the jack housing. A spring member is positioned between the coupling member and the plug housing to compress the first seal member between the jack housing and the plug housing.

  • Publication number: 20060035509
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a coupler housing and a coupler member secured to the coupler housing that receives a connector. The coupler housing has a first end and a second end. The coupler member is secured to the first end of the coupler housing. A cord connector is secured to the second end of the coupler housing. An electrical cord is electrically and mechanically coupled to the connector through the second end of the coupler housing. The electrical connector assembly provides a compact and portable electrical connector assembly that protects the housed connector from harsh conditions found in industrial and mechanical environments.

  • Publication number: 20050208816
    Abstract: A snagless telecommunications connector assembly is quickly and easily disengageable from a complementary mating connector assembly. A connector housing has front and rear ends, and an upper surface extending between the front and rear ends adjacent and above the upper surface. A latch beam extends rearwardly from the front end of the connector housing. The latch beam is deflectable to disengage the connector assembly from a complementary mating connector assembly. First and second ears extend outwardly from the upper surface of the connector housing. Each of the first and second ears has a portion tapering toward the rear end of the housing to prevent snagging the latch beam. A rib extends outwardly from the latch beam to further prevent snagging of the latch beam.
