  • Patent number: 10193335
    Abstract: A surge protector includes a housing defining a cavity and having an axis. The surge protector also includes first and second center conductors positioned within the cavity at the axial ends of the housing. The surge protector also includes an inner coupler positioned within the cavity, having a center portion, and being coupled to the first center conductor. The surge protector also includes an outer coupler positioned within the cavity, having an inner surface that defines a volume for receiving a portion of the center portion of the inner coupler, and coupled to the second center conductor. The surge protector also includes a first dielectric material positioned between the center portion and the inner surface. The surge protector also includes a first spiral inductor positioned within the cavity, having an outer curve and an inner curve, and being coupled to the first center conductor or the second center conductor.

  • Patent number: 9924609
    Abstract: An enclosure having a rear base defining a cavity for holding one or more electronic devices. The enclosure includes a front cover coupled to the rear base and movable between an open position and a closed position. The enclosure includes a chassis mounted within the cavity of the rear base and a drawer chest having a multiple drawers within the cavity of the rear base. The drawer chest is connected to the chassis, and the multiple drawers are configured to receive the one or more electronic devices. The enclosure includes one or more connectors that are exposed outward and provide a connection to a host electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8410383
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a switch assembly including a lens having a hollow interior, a display at least partially received within the hollow interior of the lens, an actuator moveably engageable by the lens, and an elastomeric switch activatable by the actuator in response to movement of the lens. The elastomeric switch may include a circuit assembly, a sealing switch layer disposed over the circuit assembly, and an elastomeric switch member formed within the sealing switch layer that is actuatable by the movement of the lens for engagement with the circuit assembly.
