Publication number: 20170207568Abstract: A connector assembly includes an electrical contact subassembly and an outer housing. The contact subassembly is terminated to an electrical cable. The outer housing defines a cavity and holds the contact subassembly in the cavity. A mating segment of the outer housing defines a socket of the cavity that is configured to receive a plug end of a mating connector assembly. The outer housing further includes an interface seal within the cavity. The interface seal is configured to engage the plug end of the mating connector assembly during a mating operation to seal an interface between the connector assembly and the mating connector assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: David James Lane, Galen M.

Patent number: 9680256Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and a connector position assurance (CPA) element. The CPA element includes a beam that is deflected from a blocked position to a clearance position by a mating connector that is loaded into a cavity of the housing. When the beam is in the blocked position, movement of the CPA element from an extended position to an inserted position is mechanically blocked by a protrusion of the housing that abuts the beam. The beam of the CPA element, when moved to the clearance position, clears the protrusion to allow the CPA element to move from the extended position to the inserted position. The housing may include a pair of such deflectable beams, each with a slot having an opening at its distal end. The opening of one of the beams aligns with the protrusion when the beam is deflected to its clearance position.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventors: David James Lane, James Michael Raudenbush, Douglas John Hardy

Patent number: 9673578Abstract: An electrical connector includes an outer contact extending along a longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end. The outer contact has a terminating segment that extends to the rear end and is configured to engage and be surrounded by a conductive layer of a cable to electrically connect the outer contact to the cable. The terminating segment is cylindrical and defines a chamber therethrough that is configured to receive one or more wires of the cable therein. The terminating segment has a crosshatch pattern along an outer surface thereof. The crosshatch pattern includes multiple grooves extending parallel to one another and multiple cross-grooves extending parallel to one another. The cross-grooves intersect the grooves to define multiple raised panels along the outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventor: David James Lane

Publication number: 20160328765Abstract: A comparison between items for sale in a marketplace and items for sale at an external retailer is used to generate one or more recommended actions for the marketplace. For example, if the marketplace has a comparable quantity of available items in a product cluster with better prices, a recommendation to promote the items based on price may be generated As another example, if the marketplace has a better variety of items available in the product cluster, a recommendation to promote the items that are unavailable at the external retailer may be generated. As a third example, if the marketplace has fewer items available in the product cluster, a recommendation to procure additional inventory may be generated. As yet another example, if the marketplace has items available in the product cluster at a higher price than the external retailer, a recommendation to reduce prices may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Wilson Pang, James Lane, Jaime Colmenares, Uwe F.

Publication number: 20080161836Abstract: Improvements to external stents to render incompetent venous valves competent are disclosed. The device is an inelastic bio-compatible cuff that encircles the venous valve cusps decreasing the internal diameter of the vein wall to allow apposition of the cusps and create competence. The improvements over previous designs include the addition of calibrated known diameters to create competence for different phenotypes. The different diameters are indicated by holes in the body. The buckle attachment allows the body of the device to become conical or inverted to become pyramidal as appropriate. The buckle is wider than prior art designs to allow the device to become elliptical at smaller diameters. The angle of the notches in the device are approximately 150 to allow better overriding at the sapheno-femoral junction which allowing for better competence of the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2007Publication date: July 3, 2008Inventor: Rodney James LANE

Patent number: 7335214Abstract: Improvements to external stents to render incompetent venous valves competent are disclosed. The device is an inelastic bio-compatible cuff (1) that encircles the venous valve cusps (15) decreasing the internal diameter of the vein wall (11) to allow apposition of the cusps (15) and create competence. The device may be calibrated to known diameters to create competence for different phenotypes. The different diameters are indicated by holes (2, 3, 4) in the body (1). The buckle attachment (6) allows the body of the device to become conical or inverted to become pyramidal as appropriate. The wide buckle (5) allows the device to become elliptical at smaller diameters. The angle of the notches (10) in the device is approximately 15°, which allows better overriding at the sapheno-femoral junction resulting in better competence of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Inventor: Rodney James Lane

Publication number: 20070052961Abstract: This disclosure describes a multiple channel dichroic color mixing system or gobo that is comprised of three standard filters, one each of cyan, magenta and yellow, in combination with a fourth “multiband” optical filter with a spectral design that has multiple pass and blocking regions such that, by a suitable sequential combination of filters, the resultant transmitted light can be made to have enhanced color and intensity in the blue, green, and red portions of the color spectrum, without sacrificing the colors produced by combinations of the CMY filters that are commonly known in the industry. The “multiband” filter provides an optical solution with a single additional filter that, prior to this disclosure would require the addition of multiple single band filters, thereby increasing the mechanical complexity and overall cost of the color mixing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: Ocean Optics, Inc.Inventors: James Lane, Philip Buchsbaum
