  • Patent number: 9385478
    Abstract: High speed connector inserts and cables having improved heat conduction, high strength, and may be manufactured in a reliable manner. One example may provide a connector insert having several paths by which heat may be removed from circuitry in the cable insert. In one example, heat may be removed from one or more circuits by forming a thermal path between a circuit and a shield of the connector insert. Another path may include one or more pads on a side of an integrated circuit board that are soldered directly to the shield. A braiding surrounding a cable may be soldered or otherwise thermally connected to the shield. Another example may provide a cable having a braiding that includes one or more types of fibers, such as aramid fibers. Another example may provide for increased manufacturability by using a wire comb and a solder bar.

  • Publication number: 20160190732
    Abstract: Power cables that include plug housings having an improved appearance as well as employ a halogen-free cable while providing adequate fire resistance. One example provides a power cable having cable plug with a substantially unitary body. Another example provides a power cable that is formed using halogen-free materials. To provide adequate fire protection, a strain relief formed using multiple materials is used.

  • Patent number: 9357654
    Abstract: A cable assembly including a connector insert to fit in a connector receptacle in an electronic device, where a back surface of the connector insert is substantially flush with an outside of an enclosure for the electronic device. One example may provide a cable assembly that includes a connector insert formed by wrapping a flexible circuit board at least partially around a housing. The flexible circuit board may be routed against an underside of the electronic device such that it does not obstruct a user, consume space in a display area, or have an undesirable appearance.

  • Publication number: 20160146739
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogel bead for detecting hydrofluoric acid and a kit comprising the same, and more particularly, to a hydrogel bead capable of detecting hydrofluoric acid using an organometallic ligand compound that reversibly changes color depending on the concentration of hydrofluoric acid when coming into contact with hydrofluoric acid, and to a kit for detecting hydrofluoric acid comprising the same. In an embodiment, a method for preparing a hydrogel bead for detecting hydrofluoric acid comprises the steps of: mixing an organic compound, which contains an aromatic functional group having at least one hydroxyl group bonded thereto, with a solution of a metal-ligand compound that bonds with the organic compound, thereby preparing a mixed solution; dropping the mixed solution onto a gelling agent; and adding coagulating agent to the mixture resulting from the dropping step to form a porous bead.

  • Patent number: 9348708
    Abstract: A memory system comprises a nonvolatile memory comprising a memory block having multiple pages, and a controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory to store data in the memory block according to a command and logical address received from an external source. The controller is configured to determine whether the logical address is currently mapped to a bad page of the memory block by referring to a bad page map, and as a consequence of determining that the logical address corresponds to the bad page, remaps the logical address to a different page and stores dummy data in the bad page.

  • Patent number: 9349507
    Abstract: Cables capable of high-speed data transmission and having a low insertion loss. Examples may mitigate the effect of the suckout component of insertion loss by providing cables that eliminated, shift, or reduce the suckout. Examples may eliminate, or at least partially eliminate, the suckout component by providing a continuous return path. Others may shift the frequency of the suckout component to a high frequency where it no longer interferes or significantly attenuates signals being conveyed by the cable. Still others may reduce or control the magnitude of the suckout component.

  • Publication number: 20160132129
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a type error revising method. According to the present invention, a new and innovative error revising method is provided, which does not require inconvenient action of inputting deletion function key like backspace or moving a cursor by the mouse control or finger touch. The type error revising method of the present invention comprises steps of; a user inputs revision target word or character substring in the current cursor location; the user's revision intention is determined automatically or according to user's input of revision command; and one or more words or character substrings input before the revision target word or character substring are replaced by the revision target word or character substring. In the present invention, the replaced one or more words or character substrings are selected through a correlation calculation with the revision target word or character substring or substring thereof.

  • Publication number: 20160132471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for revising an error, wherein a user inputs a desired character string for revision so as to calculate a correlation between the desired character string for revision and previously inputted character strings, so that a character string with a high correlation is replaced with the desired character string for revision. A characteristic configuration of the present invention is in a step for deciding a correlation.
