Publication number: 20130344746Abstract: A system and method for connecting a number of network devices together in a daisy chain configuration is disclosed. A connector device comprising a number of cable interfaces for a cable is used to allow a number of network devices connected to a network to be connected in a free-form manner, yet still maintain a daisy chain configuration. A cable comprising at least two conductors, wherein the conductors are preferably a twisted pair of copper wire, is used to connect the network devices, so that each network device only has a single cable connected to it. Additional network devices can be added to the network by simply connecting the additional network device into the existing network with the use of an additional cable and an additional connector device. Wherever the additional network device is added to the existing network, the network will be maintained in a daisy chain configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: Uponor Innovations ABInventors: Jan Olof Andersson, Kenneth John Lockhart, Trevor Lewis Rossner, Jeffrey Paul Wiedemann, Logan Brent Grauer, Chris Edwin Kasian, William Andrew Perrin, Robert Christopher Kwong, Glenn William Nichols, Jason John Lemon

Patent number: 8588222Abstract: A network device configured to allow the connection of the network device to a network in a daisy chain configuration using a single cable. The network device is connected to a cable with two conductors by a socket that is adapted to receive a plug connected to the end of the cable. When the plug on the end of a cable is inserted into the socket, a first conductor in the cable is connected to an input port of a network component and a second conductor of the cable is connected to an output port of a network component. A signal from the network is transmitted down a first conductor in a cable to a network device and the signal is then transmitted back from the network device down a second conductor in the same cable.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Uponor Innovation ABInventors: Jan Olof Andersson, Kenneth John Lockhart, Trevor Lewis Rossner, Jeffery Paul Wiedemann, Logan Brent Grauer, Chris Edwin Kasian, William Andrew Perrin, Robert Christopher Kwong, Glenn William Nichols, Jason John Lemon

Publication number: 20110134792Abstract: A connector hub comprising a number of cable interfaces is used to allow a number of network devices connected to a network to be connected in a free-form manner, yet still maintain a daisy chain configuration. A cable comprising at least two conductors, wherein the conductors are preferably a twisted pair of copper wire, is used to connect each of the network devices to a cable interface on the connector hub, so that each network device only has a single cable connected to it. The connector hub connects a master or primary network device to the network devices connected by a cable to the cable interfaces of the connector in a daisy chain configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventors: Jan Olof Andersson, Kenneth John Lockhart, Trevor Lewis Rossner, Jeffrey Paul Wiedemann, Logan Brent Grauer, Chris Edwin Kasian, William Andrew Perrin, Robert Christopher Kwong, Glenn William Nichols, Jason John Lemon

Patent number: 4862508Abstract: An improved method for transmitting sound at high power levels over a wide angle zone of dispersion without distortion, comprising the step of emitting sound waves from a plurality of individual sources, each characterized by a relatively narrow, wedge-shaped envelope of sound projection, such that adjacent edges of respective sound projection envelopes are in substantial alignment and do not overlap, whereby the absence of interference between sounds emitted from different sources precludes sound distortion and enables uniform sound dispersion and high sound quality throughout the zone. The sound waves are preferably emitted from electroacoustical loudspeakers having loudspeaker enclosures shaped to conform to the edges of their respective sound envelopes.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1987Date of Patent: August 29, 1989Assignee: U.S. Sound, Inc.Inventor: John Lemon

Patent number: 4811403Abstract: A loudspeaker and enclosure assembly, comprising: a load bearing member exhibiting good thermal conductivity; at least one loudspeaker mounted on the load bearing member and in thermal engagement therewith; and, an enclosure having walls formed of rigid light-weight material mounted on the load bearing member to enclose the at least one loudspeaker, whereby the assembly is easily moved and mounted and thermal energy generated by operation of the loudspeaker is effectively dissipated through the load bearing member. The enclosure may be a rigid foam-filled member defining a generally funnel-shaped bore therein to form a horn for the loudspeaker, whereby a modular construction of interchangeable integrally formed enclosures and horns can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1987Date of Patent: March 7, 1989Assignee: U.S. Sound, Inc.Inventors: Clifford Henricksen, John Lemon

Patent number: 4752967Abstract: A system for compensating for varying attenuation of an uplink signal from a local node to a satellite. The system monitors two beacon signals and the local downlink signal to determine fade. An error signal, indicating the uplink fade, is generated and utilized to adjust the gain of the uplink transmitter to compensate for the fade.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1985Date of Patent: June 21, 1988Assignees: Tandem Computers Incorporated, Harris CorporationInventors: Herman A. Bustamante, John A. Lemon, Harry J. Stapor
