  • Patent number: 9413125
    Abstract: An assembly comprising a cable terminator comprising an elongate wire guide comprising a top end and four conductor pair receiving channels, and a securing cap configured for installation over the top end and comprising four pairs of piercing contacts exposed on an upper surface is disclosed. Each pair of the piercing contacts are interconnected with a respective conductor pair, and a coupler connector comprising a forward surface comprising an RJ-45 compatible socket, wherein tines are exposed within the socket and a rearward surface comprising a cable terminator receiving socket. Pairs of contacts are exposed on an end wall of the socket. Each of the tines is interconnected with a respective one of the contacts.

  • Publication number: 20160226193
    Abstract: An assembly for use in a system comprising a plurality of pairs of conductors, and a plug/receptacle for terminating the cable at a rear end thereof, a plurality of evenly spaced terminal contacts/tines respectively exposed along a front of the plug body/within the receptacle, arranged in parallel, and a printed circuit board assembly comprising a plurality of pairs of traces interconnecting each conductor of the pairs of conductors with respective ones of the terminal contacts/tines. A center pair of the conductors is attached to a first pair of the terminal contacts/tines and a second pair of conductors is attached to a second pair of the terminal contacts/tines. The center pair of terminal contacts/tines is positioned between the second pair of contacts/tines wherein in operation a current flow in the center pair of terminal contacts/tines is in a direction substantially away from the second pair of terminal contacts/tines.

  • Patent number: 9397455
    Abstract: An assembly comprising a cable terminator comprising a wire guide, a cube shaped securing cap comprising an open end for installation over the wire guide, and pairs of piercing contacts for piercing respective conductors of the cable. When assembled, an outer end of each of the piercing contacts is exposed on an outer surface of a respective securing cap sidewall. The assembly also comprises a coupler connector comprising one of a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) socket or a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) plug, a rearward surface comprising a cable terminator receiving socket, wherein pairs of contacts are exposed along at least one side wall of the socket, and further wherein each of a plurality of the tines in the modular socket or the terminal contacts of the plug is interconnected with a respective one of the contacts.

  • Patent number: 4686825
    Abstract: This invention relates to a system for supplying fuel to an aircraft engine, wherein an electronic computer subdivides the stroke of the throttle lever into a plurality of zones, in each of which the thrust of the engine varies between a maximum value and a minimum value. The computer ensures a modulation of the thrust about the value corresponding to that displayed by the position of said throttle lever. No mechanical link is provided between the lever and the fuel admission valve.
