  • Patent number: 7760086
    Abstract: A tamper respondent enclosure including (a) a circuit board; (b) an enclosure surrounding the circuit board; (c) a tamper respondent sensor having (i) a substrate with first and second sides; (ii) a first layer of conductive traces on the first side; (d) wherein the tamper respondent sensor is wrapped around the enclosure with at least one overlap region; and (e) wherein only at the at least one overlap region the tamper respondent sensor has a second layer of conductive traces on the second side. Preferably, the substrate is insulating and made of opaque PET, and the first layer is adjacent the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 5567179
    Abstract: An electrical connector system includes a housing, at least one electrical cable assembly, at least one retaining member and a resilient locking member. The housing has formed therethrough at least one retention window and at least one shaped aperture which is formed through a rear portion of the housing. The at least one retaining member is dimensioned to substantially mirror the dimension of the at least one shaped aperture. The at least one retaining member has an internal surface which defines a channel portion having a predetermined diametral dimension. The channel portion terminates to a slot. The at least one retaining member snap-fittingly engages an individual at least one electrical cable. The at least one electrical cable and the at least one retaining member are insertably received by an individual shaped aperture. A resilient locking member is made integral with each at least one retaining member.

    Inventor: John A. Voltz
  • Patent number: 5190472
    Abstract: A miniaturized high-denisty coaxial interconnect system for use in termination of coaxial signal cables to electrical signal transmission systems is provided. The system contains one or more grouper modules having a staggered array of receptacle grooves in which the grouper modules are housed within a grouper frame. The system is easy to assemble and provide easy attachment and detachment from the transmission system. This invention also provides for an increased density of signal cables with improved spacing due to the unique design of component parts and their arrangement within the system.
