Publication number: 20250385455Abstract: Aspects of drop down contacts in connectors are described. An example connector includes a housing with a front port opening, a wafer assembly including terminal rows, a push bar, and a biasing component. The push bar is positioned in the housing and extends between the terminal rows. The biasing component pushes the push bar toward the front port opening of the housing and into contact with the rows of terminal conductors. The push bar maintains a minimal distance or clearance between opposing contact tips of the rows of terminal conductors even when no paddle card is inserted into the connector. When a paddle card is inserted into the front port opening, the paddle card pushes the push bar out of contact with the terminal conductors, so that the terminal conductors drop down upon contact surfaces of the paddle card.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Inventors: Eric Sanders, Lie Chen

Publication number: 20240283174Abstract: Various aspects of reworkable press-fit legs are described. In one example, a press-fit leg includes a flat beam extension region, a bent beam region, and a head region. Extending along a longitudinal axis of the leg, the bent beam region of the leg is positioned between the flat beam extension region and the head region of the leg. The bent beam region curves apart and away from the longitudinal axis of the leg, along a segment of a circle. The bent beam region and bent beams are compressible and can extend in length to some extent when inserted into mounting apertures. When removed from the mounting apertures, the bent beam regions also bend back to their original shapes, which facilitates rework of cages and other housings including the legs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Yu-Da Liu, Lie Chen

Publication number: 20240113473Abstract: Alignment structures are included in high-speed data cage assemblies to prevent damage to one or more electronic components connected within the cage assembly and prevent misalignment of connected components. The alignment structures extend inwardly into a port and prevent movement of a module beyond the intended position of the module in a port. This allows connection between the module and a connector and prevents misalignment of the module. Damage to either the module or the connector by misalignment or by over-insertion of the module is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Lie Chen, Matthew Wolfe, Scott Sommers

Patent number: 11802992Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of nowcasting early-warning technology, and discloses a thunderstorm gale early-warning method, system, equipment and terminal. The thunderstorm gale early-warning method comprises: preprocessing single radar data to identify potential thunderstorm gale areas; and in real-time service, calling the thunderstorm gale parameter model in the potential thunderstorm gale areas identified by single radar every time to perform extrapolation for 1 hour, thereby forming a thunderstorm gale early-warning product within the next hour. The thunderstorm gale early-warning method provided by the present invention makes full use of the identification technology of dual polarization radar to identify the potential of thunderstorm gale, acquires falling areas of potential thunderstorm gale within the next hour by the extrapolation technology, and has better advance and accuracy compared with the existing thunderstorm gale early-warning method.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Zhejiang Meteorological ObservatoryInventors: Ling Luo, Xuanxuan Huang, Wenjuan Li, Juan Huang, Xiaofen Lou, Lie Chen, Guiyang Su, Ran Luo, Zhicha Zhang, Lei Zhang
