Abstract: A shielded modular connector system includes a first portion having a first housing and a plurality of first contact modules, the first housing including a first interface surface and a first interface perimeter surrounding the first interface surface, a first plurality of bays to receive the plurality of first contact modules, and a grounding ring. The system further includes a second portion configured to mate with the first portion, and having a second housing and a plurality of second contact modules. The second housing includes a second interface surface and a second interface perimeter surrounding the second interface surface and designed to face the first interface surface, a second plurality of bays configured to receive the plurality of second contact modules, and a backshell located along at least a portion of the second interface perimeter and extending away from the second interface surface.

Abstract: A coupler for electrical connectors. The coupler includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The coupler further includes a first connection interface positioned at the first end of the body, the first connection interface having a first set of conductive rings. The coupler further includes a second connection interface positioned at the second end of the body, the second connection interface having a second set of conductive rings electrically connected to the first set of conductive rings.

Abstract: A rectangle finder tool automatically locates rectangles in an image that correspond to substantially rectangular devices in the image. The rectangle finder tool can be used to automatically locate rectangles in an image or to generate abstract rectangular models of devices in the image. The tool determines the properties of and locates the rectangular device by searching for pairs of lines in an image at a specified orientation.
