Patent number: 11901671Abstract: A contact assembly for an electrical connector includes an array of contacts including signal contacts and ground contacts. The ground contacts are interspersed with the signal contacts to provide electrical shielding between corresponding signal contacts. Each signal contact includes a signal contact body having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge between the first and second sides, and a second edge between the first and second sides opposite the first edge. The signal contact body includes a signal mating end and a signal terminating end. Each signal contact includes a mating ball formed at the signal mating end of the signal contact body. The mating ball is generally spherical shaped. The mating ball and the signal contact body are a homogeneous structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS GmbHInventor: Michael Tryson

Patent number: 9405086Abstract: Organizer tray including a base wall and a receiving wall that is coupled to the base wall. The base and receiving walls extend parallel to each other along a lateral axis. The receiving wall extends away from the base wall along an elevation axis that is perpendicular to the lateral axis such that the base and receiving walls define a circuit channel. The receiving wall has a curved shape. The base and receiving walls are shaped to hold a flex circuit assembly within the circuit channel, in which the flex circuit assembly includes a fiber-routing substrate and corresponding segments of optical fibers that extend within the fiber-routing substrate. The base and receiving walls are configured to hold the fiber-routing substrate such that the fiber-routing substrate satisfies a bend radius of the optical fibers.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: David Donald Erdman, Shelly Ann Buchter, Michael Tryson

Patent number: 8421316Abstract: The invention provides a transducer for converting between mechanical and electrical energies. The transducer comprises an EAP laminate with a layer of an elastomer material arranged between two electrode layers, each electrode layer comprising a second layer of a plastically deformable material, e.g. metal or a thermoplastic material, and a third layer of an electrically conductive material. Due to the layer of plastically deformable material, the electrode layers can be shaped into various shapes which can provide anisotropic characteristics of the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Danfoss PolyPower A/SInventors: Michael Tryson, Mohamed Benslimane, Hans-Erik Kiil, Michael Allen Zumbrum
