Abstract: A method for connecting low power radios into a self-assembling and self-healing network with multiple portals to higher speed networks such as, but not limited to, electrical or optical Ethernet is provided for monitoring transmission lines, for example, or other monitoring application. An arrangement of sensors is provided (e.g., sensors can be associated with clamps or positioned along infrastructure being monitored and without dependence on any clamps or other devices) that are designed to communicate and operate in an geographically distributed array to provide increased and autonomous monitoring of large utility, highway, communication and similar networks. A unique collection of sensors (e.g., an anemometer with no moving parts) provides comprehensive diagnostics for improved operation of large geographic scale utility, highway, communication and similar infrastructure.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a connector member; a housing having a general tube shape; wedges and an extension spring member. The housing includes a front end and a rear end. The front end of the housing is adapted to be fixedly connected with the connector member. The wedges are adapted to be located in the housing directly between the housing and a core member of a cable conductor. The connector member is adapted to push the wedges into the housing as the connector member and the housing are being connected with each other. The extension spring member surrounds the wedges to bias the wedges towards a center channel formed by the wedges.

Abstract: An electrical connector including a connector section and a connector performance indicating section. The connector section includes a first connection section adapted to connect to a first electrical conductor and a second connection section adapted to connect to a second electrical conductor. The connector section is adapted to electrical connect the first electrical conductor to the second electrical conductor. The connector performance indicating section is connected to a portion of the connector section. The connector performance indicating section includes a temperature sensitive indicator adapted to signal occurrence of a temperature of the portion of the connector section above a predetermined temperature. The temperature sensitive indicator comprises a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
