  • Patent number: 6527599
    Abstract: A connector block for connecting a plurality of electrical connectors includes a molded housing having a face. A plurality of female connectors are integrally molded within the face of the housing, each female connector having a well molded into the face of the housing and a receptacle extending from a bottom of the well. A threaded cylindrical bushing is integrally formed within the well around each receptacle. At least one male connector is also integrally molded within the housing.

  • Patent number: 6137351
    Abstract: An interface circuit for interfacing a data bus with a current sinking sensor or a current sourcing sensor. An input terminal is connected between a cathode of a first diode and an anode of a second diode. The anode of the first diode is connected to a first input terminal of a comparator, such as a differential amplifier. The cathode of the second diode is connected to a second input of the comparator. Two pairs of in-series resistors are connected between a voltage supply. The anode of the first diode is connected between two resistors of the first pair of resistors. The cathode of the second diode is connected between two resistors of the other pair of resistors. An output of the comparator is connected to an output terminal. The interface circuit of this invention can be connected between an input circuit and an output circuit, to interface a sensor parameter and the corresponding input current or signal to the data bus and a corresponding output current or signal.
