Publication number: 20180131139Abstract: A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end. An internal surface extends between the forward end and the rearward end defining a longitudinal opening and with a cable receiving area proximal the rearward end and a jacket stop proximal the forward end. A post is positioned in the body proximal the forward end and has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. An insulator is movably disposed in the bore of the post and has a through-passage, and a movement limiter. A gripping member is disposed within the longitudinal opening of the body proximal the rearward end and provides a gripping action as the gripping member axially moves toward the forward end of the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Michael Ole Matzen, Michael Meister, Thomas Dewey Miller, Jens Petersen

Publication number: 20180131143Abstract: A post-less, self-gripping coaxial cable connector for tool-less attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end and a longitudinal opening. A retainer positioned in the body has a forward section, a rearward section, and a bore. A ring is movably disposed in the retainer. A gripping member having at least one spring finger is friction fit to the body and is radially inwardly biased in a predisposed orientation. The ring has a pusher feature configured to axially move the ring upon force being applied to the pusher feature by a coaxial cable received by the body causing the gripping member to engage the jacket of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable is installed in the coaxial cable connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Anders Balcer, Michael Ole Matzen, Michael Meister, Thomas Dewey Miller, Jens Petersen, Nikolaj Slobodziuk

Patent number: 8986044Abstract: A coaxial cable connector comprising a coupler, a body, a shell, a ferrule, and a compression ring is disclosed. The ferrule is disposed adjacent to the body and has a plurality of fingers with inwardly directed barbs and a channel with a wall having an inwardly facing surface with inner projections. The compression ring is disposed within the shell and engages the rear end of the ferrule. Advancing the shell toward the coupler causes the compression ring to drive the rear portion of the ferrule inwardly. This causes the plurality of fingers to flex inwardly toward the coaxial cable forcing the barbs against the coaxial cable. This also causes the compression ring to provide a biasing force against the channel forcing the inner projections of the inwardly facing surface of the wall to bite into the coaxial cable.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Corning Gilbert Inc.Inventors: Michael Meister, Jens Petersen

Patent number: 7730700Abstract: The invention is a combination of a short ground sensor arm mounted close to the cutter bar and a longer rod mounted towards the rear of the header. The short front sensor and long rear sensor are connected by a linkage which translates motions from either sensor to the other sensor. A second linkage translates the motions of both sensors rearward to a protected area under the header which contains the potentiometer. This configuration transmits useful ground position signals to the header height controller in both low and high cutting heights. The invention advantageously reduces the likelihood of damage to the short front sensor when the machine is reversed since the longer rear sensor arm pulls the shorter forward sensor arm up by means of the linkage to a position where damage is unlikely.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Claas Selbstefahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Cristoph Nathan, Jens Petersen, Steve Tippery

Patent number: 7690945Abstract: A coaxial cable connector is provided for attachment to a corrugated coaxial cable. The coaxial cable connector includes a clamping member with at least two projections configured to engage the outer corrugated conductor where the corrugated conductor has a diameter that is the smallest. The coaxial cable connector also includes seals to protect the coaxial cable connector from the elements. An alternative embodiment includes a third projection to engage the outer corrugated conductor to provide support for the coaxial cable.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Corning Gilbert Inc.Inventor: Jens Petersen

Patent number: 7678146Abstract: A biocompatible hydrogel comprises a specified content of polyacrylamide and pyrogen-free water. Also disclosed is a method of making the hydrogel and an injectable or implantable endoprosthesis. The hydrogel may also be used to treat a cosmetic or functional defect. Hydrogels specified according to their polyacrylamide content may be used for medical indications, such as an implantable or injectable endoprostheses for mammoplastic reconstruction, implantable or injectable endoprostheses for treating (reflux) oesophagitis, and for body contouring of various body parts.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Contura A/SInventors: Jens Petersen, Richard Schmidt, Robert Lessèl, Jens-Erik Sørensen

Patent number: 7614206Abstract: A header for a combine or a harvester comprising a center portion of said header having a feeder house position disposed to direct cut crop from the center portion to a feeder house when the header is mounted on the feeder house. At least one lateral portion of the header is attached to the center portion by a frame hinge. A draper comprised of a frame and a belt disposed to rotate over the frame extends from the lateral portion to the center portion having a draper hinge. A cutter having a curving portion is disposed at a leading aspect of the header to cut crop. The frame hinge, draper hinge and curving portion along the same axis are parallel to a direction of travel of the combine or harvester. The lateral portion can raise and lower relative to the center portion by rotation around the axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Steve Tippery, Maurice Salz, Craig Kaster, Jens Petersen

Patent number: 7587885Abstract: A header for a combine or harvester has a frame with a longitudinal dimension transverse to a direction of travel of the combine or harvester. Two moving belts are disposed on the frame to receive cut crop from a cutter and to move the crop from outer portions of the header towards an inner portion of the header. Each of the belts has a leading edge oriented towards the direction of travel of the combine or harvester and a trailing edge oriented away from the direction of travel and each of the belts has an inner aspect disclosed in spaced relation to an inner aspect of the other of the belts such as to define a gap therebetween, the gap receiving cut crop being transported longitudinally and inwardly from the belts. An auger with a cylinder and two end cones around an axis is disposed to urge crop from the gap and from the inner aspect of the belts towards a feeder house position behind the gap. The axis of the auger is forward of the trailing edge of the belt.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Claas Selbstfahrende Emtemaschinen GmbHInventors: Steve Tippery, Craig Kaster, Adam Lee Haworth, Cristoph Nathan, Jens Petersen

Patent number: 7448491Abstract: A belt tensioning apparatus for a combine or harvester header has a frame with two spaced apart longitudinal support members and at least one transverse member attached to each of the longitudinal support members. An end roller support bracket has two bracket extensions extending longitudinally and disposed to slidingly engage with bracket extension receivers attached to the longitudinal support members. A push rod is longitudinally oriented and slidingly mounted on the transverse member intermediate to the longitudinal support members. The push rod is attached to the end roller support bracket and mounted to have a retracted position and an extended position. An actuator is attached to the longitudinal support members and exerts a substantially uniform force to the push rod along a range of travel of the push rod between the retracted position and the extended position. The actuator may be a scissors assembly or a hydraulic cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Steve Tippery, Christoph Nathan, Craig Kaster, Adam Lee Haworth, Jens Petersen
