Patents by Inventor Kenneth Koon Keung Lai

Kenneth Koon Keung Lai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7153163
    Abstract: A magnetically coupled RJ-45 modular jack assembly for Ethernet applications including a coil pack comprised of a plurality of magnetic circuits. Various numbers of the magnetic circuits may be coupled together in series by way of a variety of wires which may then be soldered directly to a printed circuit board. In order to increase the robustness of the magnetic circuit connection, each group of magnetic circuits coupled together in series, may be encapsulated in an encapsulation material. Additionally, during encapsulation, numerous of the groups of magnet circuits may be encapsulated allowing a plurality of magnetic series to be grouped together further increasing the robustness of the magnetic circuits. Encapsulated coil sets (196, 198) may be fitted together (FIG. 10) and located in notch (190) in the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6783398
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is shown which includes both full shielding and signal conditioning. The assembly includes a front housing portion in the form of a modular jack, and a rear housing portion which forms a recessed area or “well” for receiving the components for signal conditioning. The components are mounted on a printed circuit board, and placed in the recessed area. The housings are aligned and locked together.
