  • Patent number: 7473137
    Abstract: An electrical connector and connection system are disclosed having an array of conductive coaxial pairs. Each pair consists of a cylindrical electrical conductor surrounded by a tubular electrically conductive shield with a dielectric insulator disposed there-between. A rigid connector housing contains the coaxial pairs in a fixed spaced parallel relationship. The housing has first and second interfaces relatively disposed at a right angle, and the conductors and shields each have connector pins extending from said interfaces for connection to a printed circuit board or a connector base. The coaxial pairs follow parallel curvilinear paths between the interfaces having two consecutive bends of forty-five angular degrees.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060129255
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a first audio stream associated with a first image stream and a second audio stream associated with a second image are determined. The first and second audio streams may each have, for example, at least two channels. The first and second audio streams may then be provided to an audio device as a single input stream, the audio device being adapted to receive a single audio input stream having at least four channels.

  • Patent number: 7044925
    Abstract: A hinge system for a knee brace features a flexion-extension regulating device which is adapted to engage an end portion of the knee brace's upper strut. An elongated main slot is formed through the regulating device to provide a fixed boundary for limiting range of motion. A motion limiting member is connected to the regulating device and is further adapted for connection to an end portion of the knee brace's lower strut. The motion limiting member includes a motion limiter that is disposed within the main slot. The motion limiter is caused to move therealong when the upper and lower struts pivot about a user's knee joint. By confining the motion limiter within the fixed boundary formed by the main slot, the hinge system ensures that the user's knee joint flexes and extends within the prescribed range of motion.
