  • Patent number: 12294172
    Abstract: An electrical connection system includes a first electrical connector assembly and a second electrical connector assembly. The first electrical connector assembly includes a first housing and a first terminal assembly supported by the first housing. The second electrical connector assembly includes a second housing, a second terminal assembly supported by the second housing, at least a portion of the second terminal assembly being movable relative to the second housing between an extended position and a retracted position, and a biasing member that biases the second terminal assembly toward the extended position. The first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly contact each other to establish an electrical connection upon arranging the first electrical connector assembly and the second electrical connector assembly near one another.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060250215
    Abstract: A home or building security system that enables a user to activate and deactivate various items, such as the locking and unlocking of a door utilizing a wireless transmitter. The key fob includes various buttons such that when depressed, signals are transmitted from the key fob. A receiver/controller is positioned in the home or building proximate the locking mechanism of a door, such that upon the reception of a signal from the wireless transmitter a predetermined function is carried out by the receiver/controller, such as the locking and unlocking of the door.

  • Patent number: 5748124
    Abstract: Mixed-signal tester architecture and methods are provided which minimize transfer of data, offer parallel data post-processing within the analog channels, and allow flexible synchronization. Multiple analog channels each have a source digital signal processor (DSP), a digital source sequencer, digital source instrumentation, analog source instrumentation, analog measure instrumentation, digital measure instrumentation, a digital pin multiplexer, a digital measure sequencer, DSP-addressable multi-bank capture memory, a capture digital signal processor, and an inter-DSP feedback path for communication between the source DSP and the capture DSP. Each analog channel can be arranged in a feedback loop through either its analog and/or digital instrumentation using the inter-DSP feedback path. DUT response is processed in the channel, the result is used to define parameters for a subsequent test cycle, and a signal corresponding to these parameters is generated and applied to the DUT.
