Abstract: A cable clamping device is provided for use with an electrical connector for electrically terminating conductors of a multi-conductor cable. The cable includes a shielding foil running the length of the cable. The cable clamping device includes first and second clamp means hingedly attached and defining mating faces profiled to provide a cable passage therebetween. Complementary interengaging latch means are provided on the first and second clamp means to hold the clamp means together sandwiching the cable in the passage. A foil shield bus terminal is mounted on one of the first and second clamp means and includes puncture means for penetrating the shielding foil. The other first and second clamp mans bias the shielding foil into penetrating engagement with the puncture means. A conductive means couples the foil shield bus terminal to the ground conductor of the cable.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved fuse link assembly wherein a tensioned fusible element is secured at each end to a circuit conductor for connection to an external electrical circuit. The improvement includes an integral stamped crimp terminal which secures each end of the fusible element to a circuit conductor. The crimp member includes a serial succession of three discrete crimp portions, a first portion for receiving the fusible element, a second portion for receiving the circuit conductor, and a third portion for receiving a wire-like strain relief element disposed in parallel, cross the fusible element. The first crimp terminal (which receives the fusible element) is located between the second and third crimp portions. Each crimp portion has an internal diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the conductor received therein.

Abstract: An apparatus for connecting and disconnecting appliances to an electrical supply, responsive to door activated switch means. A transmitter responds to entrance into a room by causing a receiver to activate a connecting means supplying an appliance with electrical energy. Upon closure of the door, a deadbolt must be engaged within the room within a predetermined period to maintain the appliances in their energized states. Release of the deadbolt to exit from the room causes the transmitter to enter a delay sequence, thereby providing an occupant with sufficient time to exit prior to de-energizing the appliances. Subsequent thereto, a signal is transmitted to the receiver for shutdown of the appliances. An overriding thermostat is provided to control heating and cooling appliances responsive to the transmitter, the thermostat having a broader thermal zone of operation than a typical thermostat controlling the heating and cooling appliances in the presence of the room occupant.

Abstract: The invention relates to optical integrators and to methods of optically integrating electromagnetic radiation to produce electromagnetic radiation of uniform energy intensity distribution. The method of optically integrating electromagnetic radiation comprises the steps of dissecting electromagnetic radiation into a plurality of segments of electromagnetic radiation, reflecting the resulting segments of electromagnetic radiation resulting in reflected segments of electromagnetic radiation and directing the reflected segments of electromagnetic radiation so that a reflected segment of electromagnetic radiation intersects another reflected segment of electromagnetic radiation at a target.
