Abstract: A system and method for constructing a resistance integrated coupler adapted to be coupled between a data bus and a terminal device. The system and method includes the steps of calculating a desired resistance of a set of data-bus windings, wherein the desired resistance is substantially (1.5×Zo), wherein Zo is a selected data bus cable nominal characteristic impedance; winding the set of data-bus windings to form a first part of the resistance integrated coupler using a specified amount of high resistance wire, the specified amount of high resistance wire having a total resistance substantially equal to the calculated desired resistance; and winding a set of terminal device windings to form a second part of the resistance integrated coupler. The resistance integrated coupler is constructed substantially in accordance with the guidelines of MIL-STD-1553B.

Abstract: A high performance soldering sleeve having improved heat transfer characteristics. The soldering sleeve has a continuous winding of solder coils positioned within a heat shrinkable tubular member. The solder coils, having a proper flux to solder ratio which increases performance of the soldering sleeve by generating a better solder flow. The solder coils also have better heat adsorption and heat transfer characteristics than prior art solid solder inserts. The solder coils further have the advantage of forming a plurality of lines which provide a fail safe configuration as a visual cue to indicate when a proper amount of heat has been applied to the soldering sleeve.

Abstract: An environmentally sealed splice kit for splicing together a shielded cable which is fully immersion protected and which is installed using only hand tool without using heat generating sources. The splice kit has a pair of crimp sleeves which are coupled to a separate wire braided end of the shielded cable. A jumper wire is coupled to each crimp sleeve for providing electrical continuity between each wire braided end of the shielded cable. A crimp ferrule is coupled to each wire braided end of the shielded cable for holding and connecting each crimp sleeve to each wire braided end of the shielded cable. Conductor splices are used for splicing together each center conductor of the shielded cable to be spliced together. A dielectric spacer is used for separating and providing an isolating medium between each center conductor to be spliced together and the jumper cable.
