Abstract: An electrical connector is provided that protects the electrical connector and associated components from harsh mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements. A jack is received by a jack housing, and a plug is received by a plug housing. The jack is adapted to receive the plug. A first seal member is positioned between the plug housing and the jack housing to form a seal therebetween when the jack and the plug are connected. A coupling member is attached to the plug housing and is adapted to receive the jack housing. A spring member is positioned between the coupling member and the plug housing to compress the first seal member between the jack housing and the plug housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector for telecommunications applications, including a circuit board and first and second electrical contacts, extending from the circuit board along first and second paths, respectively, the second path crossing the first path. A third electrical contact extends from the circuit board along a third path, and a fourth electrical contact extends from the circuit board along a fourth path, the fourth path crossing the third path. At least four electrical terminals extend from the circuit board and at least four electrically conductive traces on the circuit board electrically couple each of the first, second, third and fourth electrical contacts to a respective electrical terminal.

Abstract: A cutting edge surgical suture needle. The suture needle is an elongated member having a proximal suture mounting end and a distal piercing tip. The distal section of the needle has a cross-section having a top side with opposed edges. The cross-section also has opposed curved concave lateral sides having top edges and bottom edges. The top edges of the concave sides and the opposed sides of the top side are coextensive and form cutting edges. The bottom edges of the opposed concave sides are coextensive and form a bottom cutting edge.
