  • Publication number: 20240030659
    Abstract: A shielding spring contact for an electrical plug-in connector for an electrical plug-in connector system includes a sleeve-shaped main body having a cylindrical base portion, a conical shielding portion, and a plurality of passage openings by which the shielding spring contact is arranged on a cable of the electrical plug-in connector. The shielding spring contact is connectable to a braid of the cable via the cylindrical base portion by a crimp connection. The conical shielding portion has a plurality of apertures extending along a longitudinal direction of the shielding spring contact and is elastically deformable. The shielding spring contact is contactable with an assembly housing of a cable shield connection of the plug-in connector system via the conical shielding portion. A current of the braid can be diverted to the assembly housing via contact between the conical shielding portion and the assembly housing.

  • Publication number: 20220255267
    Abstract: A shielding spring contact includes a flat base portion having a top side and a cutout, and a shielding portion having a wall connected to the flat base portion and encircling the cutout. The wall has an outer side, an inner side, an upper side, and a lower side. The lower side of the wall is arranged on the top side of the flat base portion with the lower side of the wall laterally surrounding the cutout. The top side of the flat base portion bears against a bottom side of an assembly housing portion of a first plug-in connector and the shielding portion projects through a first passage opening in the assembly housing portion. The shielding portion projects through a second passage opening in a shielding housing wall and into a shielding housing of a second plug-in connector, bearing against the shielding housing wall.

  • Patent number: 7904345
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present inventions allow for providing website hosting overage protection. An exemplary method may comprise the steps of hosting a website on a first server, monitoring a website usage parameter, transferring the website to an overflow server when the website usage parameter exceeds a first predetermined value, and redirecting a plurality of traffic to the overflow server. The website transfer may be accomplished by generating a copy of the website and installing the copy on the overflow server. The website may be retained on the first server. When the website usage parameter falls below a second predetermined value, traffic may be redirected back to the first server.

  • Publication number: 20080243536
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present inventions allow for providing website hosting overage protection. In an exemplary method, a website's content may be stored on a data server communicatively coupled to a network. Traffic seeking the website may be directed to a first server having access to the website's content on the data server via the network. A website usage parameter may then be monitored. If the website usage parameter exceeds a first predetermined value, traffic to the website then may be redirected to the overflow server, which also may have access to the website's content on the data server via the network.
