  • Patent number: 7841865
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for establishing an electrical connection (for signal or current transfer) between two circuits or wiring assemblies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: Ivus Industries, LLC
    Inventors: Michael Maughan, Fred Jessup, Erik J. Cegnar, David G. Alexander
  • Patent number: 7766665
    Abstract: A system for directly connecting multiple printed circuit boards (PCB) circuits without the need for peripheral connectors. Multiple PCBs are electrically and mechanically interfaced with one or more plated holes or tabs on at least one first PCB and one or more plated tabs or holes on at least one second PCB. The plated tab(s)/hole(s) from said second PCB mate with the corresponding plated tab(s)/hole(s) from said first PCB to form a mechanical and electrical interconnect.

  • Publication number: 20100019829
    Abstract: A turn-on circuit that is used to provide power to a system or other circuit when activated. The circuit is activated through depression of a momentary button or other similar device. The circuit is deactivated by a separate digital signal from said system or said other circuit and when deactivated no longer provides power to the system.
