Patent number: 10205268Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a shielded wire cable having an inner core, an inner insulator surrounding the inner core, a cable shield surrounding the inner insulator, and an outer insulator surrounding the cable shield, a terminal attached to the inner core, a terminal shield surrounding the terminal, and a cable seal formed of an electrically conductive resilient material, wherein a first portion of the cable seal is in compressive contact with portions of the cable shield and the terminal shield, thereby providing an electrically conductive path between the cable shield and the terminal shield. The electrical connector assembly further includes a housing in which the terminal is disposed. A second portion of the cable seal is in compressive contact with a portion of the outer insulator and an inner wall of the housing, thereby inhibiting intrusion of contaminants into the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: APTIV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Michael L. Mellott, Glenn E. Robison, Mark A. Scheel

Publication number: 20180032970Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of filling out one or more forms by a mobile device. The mobile device detects signals from a beacon and determines proximity to the beacon. The mobile device then receives the forms from a remote server when the mobile device determines it is within a certain distance from the beacon. The mobile device then populates information in the forms and sends the forms to the remote server.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Applicant: Aetna Inc.Inventors: Mark SCHEEL, Matthew HARRIS, John RUNDLE, Tim MORGAN

Publication number: 20130313753Abstract: A method for sealing a terminal to a hole through a plastic body includes applying a microencapsulated polymer to a portion of the terminal that is to be sealed to the hole, the microencapsulated polymer including a plurality of microcapsules where each microcapsule includes a capsule wall with reactants within the capsule wall. The method also includes surrounding the portion of the terminal with the hole after applying the microencapsulated polymer. The capsule walls are ruptured to release the reactants and seal the terminal to the hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2012Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 7954235Abstract: A method of forming a seal about an electrically conductive core of a cable having an insulative outer cover and a terminal includes the steps of providing a lead of the core extending beyond an axial edge of the insulative outer cover; applying a conformal coating onto the lead; crimping the terminal onto the cable while the conformal coating is still wet to displace the conformal coating from between the lead and the abutting contact surfaces of the terminal and to cover and seal remaining portions of the lead not in direct contact with the terminal with the conformal coating and curing the conformal coating over the remaining portions of the lead.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2009Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Francis D. Martauz, Mark A. Scheel
