Patent number: 7875800Abstract: The present invention relates to cables made of twisted conductor pairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to twisted pair communication cables for high-speed data communications applications. A twisted pair including at least two conductors extends along a generally longitudinal axis, with an insulation surrounding each of the conductors. The conductors are twisted generally longitudinally along the axis. A cable includes at least two twisted pairs and a filler. At least two of the cables are positioned along generally parallel axes for at least a predefined distance. The cables are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, limiting at least a subset of the following: impedance deviations, signal attenuation, and alien crosstalk along the predefined distance.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Robert Kenny, Stuart Reeves, Keith Ford, John W. Grosh, Spring Stutzman, Roger Anderson, David Wiekhorst, Fred Johnston

Patent number: 7722390Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, the methods and systems relate to isolation and compensation techniques for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors for use with high-speed data cabling. A frame can be configured to receive a number of connectors. Shield structures may be positioned to isolate at least a subset of the connectors from one another. The connectors can be positioned to move at least a subset of the connectors away from alignment with a common plane. A signal compensator may be configured to adjust a data signal to compensate for alien crosstalk. The connectors are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, minimizing alien crosstalk.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Damon Debenedictis, Bernard Hammond, Jr., Robert Kenny, David Yanish

Publication number: 20100078193Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. The conductor (12) extends along a longitudinal axis and an insulation (14, 14<1>) surrounds the conductor (12). At least on channel (16, 16<1>) in the insulation (14, 14<1>) extends generally along the longitudinal axis to form an insulated conductor. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved insulated conductors are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: ADC IncorporationInventors: David Wiekhorst, Spring Stutzman, Jeff Stutzman, Scott Juengst, Fred Johnston, Jim L.

Publication number: 20100054634Abstract: A novel bag for holding, transporting, and pouring a bulk product is provided. The bag comprises two handles, with one handle being primarily configured for carrying (but also useful for pouring), and the other being primarily configured for pouring. The handles are positioned on adjacent sides of the bag, with the pouring handle being positioned near the bottom half of the bag to facilitate a controlled tilting of the bag. In one embodiment, the bag also includes a third handle on the same side of the bag as the pouring handle. The bag is typically formed of plastic, and can be used for salt, animal food, and other pourable products. The bag has a very high strength, with the second handle being particularly strong as a result of a longitudinal seam positioned adjacent that handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: Michael Ray Runyon, Gregory A. Crites, Robert Kenny, James A. McGillivary, Larry Bloom
