Patent number: 11913463Abstract: A compressor for a heat transfer circuit includes a variable frequency drive (VFD), an electric motor that rotates a driveshaft, bearing(s) for supporting the driveshaft, a backup gas supply, and a power supply. During a utility power interruption, the backup gas supply operates utilizing DC electrical power generated by a back electromotive force of the electric motor. A method of operating an electric power supply system for a compressor includes operating in a utility power mode and operating in a backup power mode during a utility power interruption. In the utility power mode, AC electrical power is supplied from the VFD to the motor. In the backup power mode, DC electrical power generated in the VFD by a back electromotive force of the motor it used to operate a backup gas supply to supply compressed working fluid to gas bearing(s) of the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: TRANE INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Seth M. McGill, Charles J. Peterson, Robert S. Bakkestuen, Kevin P. Hughes

Patent number: 9532458Abstract: An electrical assembly configured to be fixed in a housing of an electrical connector includes an electrical package disposed on a substrate and electrically connected to the substrate. The electrical assembly also includes a conductor terminated to the substrate at a spaced apart location from the electrical package to provide at least one of power or control signals to the substrate. A terminating segment of the conductor is thermally coupled to the electrical package to receive heat generated at the electrical package and dissipate the heat through the conductor away from the electrical package.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Abraham L. Shocket, Lyle S. Bryan, John S. Cowan, Kevin J. Peterson

Patent number: 6872098Abstract: The invention discloses a modular jack assembly comprised of an outer housing and a plurality of modular jack subassemblies. The modular jack subassemblies are comprised of an elongate beam support having a plurality of modular jack contacts on both sides thereof. The contacts extend into printed circuit board contacts and extend to and beyond the side edges of the elongate beam platform, leaving the space above and below the printed circuit board contacts and the beam support free, to accommodate signal conditioning componentry. Two printed circuit board modules are mounted orthogonally to the side edges of the beam support and include signal conditioning components. The assemblies are insertable into the housing defining modular jacks in the outer housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Thomas Wojtacki, Kevin J. Peterson, Kurt T. Zarbock, Joseph E. Geniac, William J. Remaley, Michael G. Pacyga, Aurelio J. Gutierrez

Patent number: 6736673Abstract: A stacked jack modular jack assembly is comprised of a multi-port housing including a plurality of jack subassemblies. The jack subassemblies include upper and lower jack housings sandwiching therebetween, a cross-talk shield. The terminal subassembly is substantially Z-shaped, which allows for increased space therebelow for signal conditioning components. The terminal module also includes a center shield and a lower shield, and an outer shield, all of which are commoned together and grounded.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Randy G. Simmons, Victor E. Slack, Eric C. Laurer, Kevin J. Peterson

Patent number: 6655988Abstract: A stacked jack modular jack assembly is comprised of a multi-port housing. The housing includes LEDs for each port to monitor the condition of the signals. The upper port LEDs are mounted on LED modules, which are aligned with the housing. These modules also form the housing side walls for the receipt and alignment for jack subassemblies. The jack subassembly modules are pluggable into the multi-port housing to provide for the connector interface.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Randy G.

Patent number: 6582255Abstract: A plug and receptacle assembly comprises a plug connector and receptacle connector, for high-density interconnections of data cable. The plug connector is comprised of two hermaphroditic housings which both include two rows of electrical terminals. The contact portions of the terminals are disposed on opposite sides of a front cantilevered section, whereas wire connecting sections extend through the rear of the housings and are adapted to receive the wires in a soldering operation. The housings are positioned in a shielding shell when fully terminated to fully shield the connector assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Randy G Simmons, Kevin J Peterson

Patent number: 6582244Abstract: A plug and receptacle assembly comprises a plug connector and receptacle connector, for high-density interconnections of data cable. The two connectors are fully shielded and include a mating profile including a modified D-shaped configuration where one end of the shroud includes a concave radiused portion and two jackscrews or threaded inserts are located within the area formed by the concave radiused portion. In this manner, the entire width of the connector assembly is reduced for high-density interconnections.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Michael W Fogg, David M Wiebking, Randy G Simmons, Kurt T Zarbock, Kevin J Peterson
