  • Patent number: 9013365
    Abstract: Interconnect feed devices (10) are provided for electrically connecting first and second electrical components (17, 21). The interconnect feed devices (10) can include a dielectric shell (23) with an electrically-conductive coating (40), and leads (22) positioned within individual conduits (30) of the shell. Each lead (22) and its associated conduit (30) can act as a coaxial cable for transmitting radio frequency (RF) energy between the first and second electrical components (17, 21). The shell (23) can be manufactured using a process, such as stereolithography, that allows the shell to be formed with relatively complicated geometries, which in turn can facilitate relatively complicated cable routing.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040199682
    Abstract: Data exchange between input and output ports wherein an intermediate layer translates and processes the data between the ports. The intermediate layer maps the input data into a source context attribute form. This source context form is scanned for a pattern match corresponding to patterns of mappings from the source context form to the destination context form. On pattern matching occurring, the attributes of the source context form is mapped to a destination context form. The attributes of the destination context form are then transformed into a data stream for transmission.
