Abstract: An implantable medical device has a therapy module configured to generate a composite pacing pulse including a series of at least two individual pulses. The therapy module is configured to generate the composite pacing pulse by generating a first pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a first portion of a plurality of capacitors to an output signal line and generate a second pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a second portion of the plurality of capacitors to the output signal line.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system in which saturated mercury adsorbent in a gas mercury removal unit is dehydrated in a LNG, LPG or cryogenic gas plant using a regeneration gas stream. Spent regeneration gas stream is then condensed and the water is removed therefrom to form a renewed regeneration gas stream in a closed loop. The regeneration gas stream is compressed and recycled to a location in the plant upstream of an acid gas removal unit or upstream of a regeneration gas dehydration unit such that the regeneration gas stream is not sent to a flare. A dehydration unit having a pair of dehydration vessels, arranged in parallel, alternating between absorption and regeneration modes, receives gas from the compressor. Conventional plants can be retrofitted to achieve improved process efficiencies, cost savings and environmental benefits.

Abstract: Water saturated molecular sieve in a gas dehydration unit is regenerated. A short loop is used in which regeneration gas is recycled to a heater upstream of a vessel in regeneration mode. The regeneration gas passes over the molecular sieve in the vessel to desorb water thereby regenerating the molecular sieve. The short loop also includes a condenser, a water separator and a compressor. The regeneration gas is not recycled to the AGRU at the front-end of the plant, thus the regeneration gas flow rate can be increased, as it is not limited by the front-end capacity of the plant. Moreover, the pressure of the system during regeneration can be reduced within the limits of system hydraulics. By using the short loop, the total time required for regeneration can also be reduced. The embodiments disclosed can de-bottleneck molecular sieve regeneration constraints in LNG, LPG or cryogenic gas plants.

Abstract: An electrical connector can includes a connector housing that includes a housing body and further includes at least one fulcrum supported by the housing body. The electrical connector further includes at least one electrical contact supported by the connector housing, the at least one electrical contact configured to mate with a complementary electrical contact of a complementary electrical connector. The electrical connector further includes a latch assembly. The latch assembly can include an actuator and a latch. The actuator can have an actuator portion, an attachment portion, and at least one arm that extends between the actuator portion and the attachment portion. The latch can have a latch body that defines an attachment portion that is configured to be attached to the attachment portion of the actuator, such that movement of the actuator in a predetermined direction causes the pivot member to ride along the fulcrum, thereby pivoting the latch from a latched position to an unlatched position.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant housing assembly may include an internal housing that is wrapped in a flex circuit. The flex circuit can cover an outside surface of the internal housing and can carry a conductive electrical trace. The electrical trace can define a continuous electrical path from a first contact pad to a second contact pad, such that piercing the an outer surface of the housing through to the inner surface of the housing interrupts the continuous electrical path.

Abstract: An electrical connector may retain a substrate in secure, mating engagement with the electrical connector. The electrical connector can include at least one attachment member that is configured to be received in an aperture that extends through the substrate.

Abstract: An electrical connector with a flexible printed circuit (FPC) received may carry electrical signals between the FPC and a substrate. Latching mechanisms may serve to position the cap on the body such that the positions facilitate the insertion and retention of the FPC in the cap for a good electrical connection. The FPC may be received loosely in the cap when the cap is in a first position on the body. When the cap is depressed into a second position, the FPC may be compressed between the cap and the body. Mating ends of the contacts may electrically connect to exposed conductive elements of the FPC. Mounting ends of the contacts in the contact housing may electrically connect to the conductive elements on a substrate. If the contacts are compression contacts, the terminals of the contacts may deflect or compress when a force is exerted upon them.

Abstract: An electrical connector receptacle housing is provided that includes protrusions in the housing's contact assembly receiving area. The location of each protrusion corresponds to a location of a well formed in a contact assembly between dual beams of ground contacts. When the contact block is received in the housing, each protrusion is received in a corresponding well. The protrusions may be sized to provide a snug fit as the contact block is received in the receptacle housing. The protrusions thus help minimize the movement of the contact block.
