Publication number: 20180026400Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and contact assemblies. The housing includes shroud walls and a base having a front side and a rear side. The front side of the base and the shroud walls define a cavity configured to receive a mating connector. The base is electrically conductive and has chambers extending therethrough that are defined by chamber walls. The contact assemblies are received in the chambers. Each contact assembly has a signal pod surrounded on at least two sides by a ground shield. The signal pod includes a dielectric body holding a pair of signal contacts. The dielectric body engages interior sides of the ground shield to electrically insulate the signal contacts from the ground shield. Exterior sides of the ground shield engage the chamber walls of the base to electrically connect the ground shield to the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2016Publication date: January 25, 2018Inventors: Chad William Morgan, Timothy Robert Minnick, Arturo Pachon Munoz, David Wayne Helster, Brian Patrick Costello, Douglas Edward Lawrence

Patent number: 9805392Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detailed description of techniques used in methods, systems, and computer program products for simulating user web page visits to generate an advertising campaign target audience list. The claimed embodiments address the problem of efficiently and quickly processing voluminous amounts of user data to enable rapid initiation of an advertising campaign. More specifically, the claimed embodiments are directed to approaches for a receiving user web page visit records (e.g., user ID, URL, timestamp, etc.), preparing batches of the visit records, and iterating through the batches of visits to simulate a user's re-visit to the web page. The simulated user visits and associated user attributes (e.g., from on line and off line activities) can then be tested against advertising campaign specifications to generate a target audience list.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: John Patrick Connelly, Edward Lawrence Wallace, Mayank Dedhia

Patent number: 9748698Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, signal pods, and ground shields. The housing has a base that is electrically conductive. The base has chambers and ground slots extending therethrough. The chambers are defined by chamber walls that separate the chambers from the ground slots. The signal pods, which each include a dielectric body holding a pair of signal contacts, are received in the chambers. The dielectric body engages the chamber walls and electrically insulates the signal contacts from the base. The ground shields are received in the ground slots. Each ground shield surrounds an associated signal pod on at least two sides to provide electrical shielding for the signal contacts in the signal pod from other signal contacts.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventors: Chad William Morgan, Timothy Robert Minnick, Arturo Pachon Munoz, David Wayne Helster, Brian Patrick Costello, Douglas Edward Lawrence

Patent number: 9575453Abstract: A media path assembly in an imaging device includes a media guide positioned adjacent and transverse to a media path between a first and a second nip, and having a surface forming a bubble chamber across the media path. A bubble sensor and a narrow media sensor are positioned adjacent to the bubble chamber transverse to the media path and aligned with each other. The bubble sensor is operative to indicate formation in the bubble chamber of a bubble in a media sheet exiting the first nip. The narrow media sensor is operative to indicate media size of the media sheet and, when the media sheet is wide media, provide a balancing force to the media sheet relative to a force applied by the bubble sensor to the media sheet so that a leading edge of the media sheet substantially aligns with the second nip when entering the second nip.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Richard Gordon Boyatt, III, Jichang Cao, William Paul Cook, Edward Lawrence Kiely

Patent number: 9394929Abstract: In order to avoid cavitation in a boom cylinder head end at the beginning of a dig cycle, fluid from an alternate source is supplied to the head end before or in addition to fluid supplied by the main boom-up hydraulic circuit. In one embodiment, an electronic hydraulic valve, related sensors, and control system determines the beginning of a dig operation and uses fluid at an intermediate pressure to rapidly provide fluid to a boom head end cylinder to prevent voiding or cavitation before fluid under high pressure from the main pump can be brought to the cylinder. An on/off fluid switch is activated early in a dig operation to address low pressure at the boom cylinder head end and provide an alternate path for fluid into the cylinder in reaction to the boom being lifted by a motion of the stick and bucket in contact with the work surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Keith Edward Lawrence, John James Krone, Nick William Biggs, Karl Arthur Kirsch, Yuya Kanenawa, Tetsuya Yoshino, Magomed Gabibulayev
