  • Patent number: 9928941
    Abstract: An electrical cable includes a first wire conductor separated from a second wire conductor and a compensation area proximate to, but separated from, an end portion of the cable and a method of manufacturing such an electrical cable. The first and second wire conductors are each connected to a contact element. The first and second wire conductors are separated by a first distance within the compensation area. The first and second wire conductors are separated by a second distance outside of the compensation area. The first distance is less than the second distance, thereby decreasing an impedance of the cable within the compensation area.

  • Patent number: 9762003
    Abstract: The invention relates to a network connector assembly for vehicles. The network communicates at data rates of 100 Mbit/s and/or 1 Gbit/s. The connector assembly includes a header having at least two pins forming a pin pair. The pins extend in a mating direction. The connector assembly also includes an electrically conductive shielding member shielding the pin pair on at least two sides. The shielding member has a front face that is oriented substantially normal to the mating direction. The connector assembly further includes a header shroud, wherein the header shroud is provided with a shielding cavity for receiving the shielding member. The front face of the shielding member is at least partly covered by the header shroud.

  • Publication number: 20160329126
    Abstract: A cable with matched impedance is described herein. The cable has at least two conductors which are separated from each other by insulation and are connectable to contact elements. The cable includes a compensation area within its end portion. The distance of the conductors from each other within the compensation area is smaller than outside the compensation area, thereby decreasing the impedance of the cable in the compensation area. The cable may include a clamping means that is configured to engage the cable in the compensation area and press it together such that the distance of the at least two conductors from each other is reduced. Alternatively or additionally, the cable may include a coating formed of electrically conductive material disposed within the compensation area. A method of manufacturing such a cable is also presented.

  • Publication number: 20070050897
    Abstract: A protective suit with a suit part with suit material (4) and provided with a foot part (2). The foot part is formed of an elastomer with ergonomic fit and is connected to the suit material (4) in one piece. The foot part (2) may be manufactured according to a dipping method. The foot part may be formed of a chemical-resistant fluoroelastomer such as Viton, Viton/butyl, chloroprene and butyl materials. The one-piece connection between the foot part (2) and the suit material (4) may be prepared by sewing, welding or by a clamped connection. A bonding agent may be provided for connecting the foot part (2) to the suit material (4).

  • Publication number: 20060286221
    Abstract: A treatment material containing carbon monoxide and a carrier liquid is applied to a meat product to produce a desired carbon monoxide content in the meat product. The concentration of carbon monoxide in the added liquid produces a desired carbon monoxide saturation level distributed substantially evenly in the treated area of the meat product. The treated area may be just at the surface of the meat product or throughout the volume of the meat product. Additional treatment liquids or fluids may be added to the meat product as a pre-treatment before application of the carbon monoxide bearing treatment material or as a post-treatment after the application of the carbon monoxide bearing treatment material.

  • Patent number: 6422762
    Abstract: An optical connection unit for the optically conducting connection of optical elements which conduct, receive or emit light is described. The optical connection unit comprises an optical transmission element which has at least one coupling surface for the optical coupling on at a coupling surface of one of the optical elements. Furthermore, the optical transmission element is designed as a spring element so that the coupling surface of the transmission element can be subjected to a bias force in the direction of the coupling surface of the optical element.
