Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing and including a grounding contact and a first pair of differential signal contacts. The first pair of differential signal contacts have a first signal contact and a second signal contact closing to the grounding contact. Each contact has a contacting portion, a soldering portion, a position portion and a connecting portion. A first distance is defined between a center line of the grounding contact and an inner side edge of the connecting portion of the second signal contact, a second distance is defined between the center line and an inner side edge of the soldering portion, and a third distance is defined between the center line and the position portion, the second distance and the third distance are both smaller than the first distance.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base seat, a plurality of contacts fixed in the base seat, and a shielding shell surrounding the base seat. The shielding shell defines a body portion retained in the base seat, a rear wall attached a rear face of the base seat and a plurality of soldering portions extending outside of the body portion. The electrical connector defines a mounting surface, a lower edge of the rear wall is higher than the mounting surface and defines at least one board-lock portion to improve the resonant frequency.

Abstract: A decoding method for biphase-encoded data is provided. The decoding method includes detecting falling-edge transitions in the biphase-encoded data to decode according to a time difference (?t) between each two adjacent falling-edge transitions and the logic value of previous bit. When ?t is 1 bit period and previous bit is logic 1, it's determined that present bit is logic 1. When ?t is 1 bit period and previous bit is logic 0, it's determined that present bit is logic 0. When ?t is 1.5 bit periods and previous bit is logic 1, it's determined that present and next bits are both logic 0. When ?t is 1.5 bit periods and previous bit is logic 0, it's determined that present bit is logic 1. When ?t is 2 bit periods and previous bit is logic 1, it's determined that present and next bits are logic 0 and 1 respectively.

Abstract: An electro-magnetic interference device attached to a surface of an object by soldering is disclosed. The device comprises a base comprising a surface defining at least one recessed portion. The at least one recessed portion comprises a side wall. An angle between the side wall and the surface of the base is equal to or greater than 90 degrees.

Abstract: A method for producing activated substantially monodisperse, phosphorescent oxide particles with rare earth element dopants uniformly dispersed therein by mixing a rare earth element dopant precursor powder with an oxide-forming host metal powder to form a solid-phase precursor composition; vaporizing the solid-phase precursor composition; combining the vaporized precursor with an inert carrier gas; contacting the inert carrier gas and the vaporized precursor with a flame fueled by a reactive gas; and uniformly heating the vaporized precursor in the flame to a reaction temperature sufficient to form activated phosphorescent oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract: A multi-layered connector is disclosed. The multi-layered connector includes a first sub-connector and a second sub-connector. The first sub-connector includes a first elongated body. The second sub-connector includes a second elongated body, and two side arms elongated upwardly from opposite ends of the second elongated body. The side arms define slide grooves faced to each other for receiving the first sub-connector. The multi-layered connector further includes glue points that connect the first elongated body and the second elongated body. The multi-layered connector avoids solder bridges and solder cracks.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing substantially monodisperse phosphorescent oxide nanoparticles with rare earth element dopants uniformly dispersed therein, in-which a soluble salt of one or more oxide-forming host metals and a soluble salt of one or more rare earth elements are dissolved in a polar solvent in which the rare earth element salts are soluble to form a precursor solution; droplets of the solution having a particle size less than about 20 microns are suspended in an inert carrier gas; the carrier gas with droplets suspended therein is contacted with a flame fueled by a reactive gas; and the suspended droplets are uniformly heated in the flame to a reaction temperature sufficient to form active radicals that accelerate the formation of activated phosphorescent oxide nanoparticles with uniform rare earth ion distribution. Rare earth doped monodisperse activated cubic phase phosphorescent oxide nano-particles are also disclosed.

Abstract: A communication device with a short message filter mechanism. The communication device comprises an incoming phone number filter module for acquiring the number of digits in an incoming phone number accompanying a short message received by the communication device and, if the number of digits in the incoming phone number is less than a preset value, deleting the short message, and a keyword filter module for determining whether the short message contains a specific keyword and, if so, deleting the short message.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the creation of macroscopic materials and objects comprising aligned nanotube segments. The invention entails aligning single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) segments that are suspended in a fluid medium and then removing the aligned segments from suspension in a way that macroscopic, ordered assemblies of SWNT are formed. The invention is further directed to controlling the natural proclivity of nanotube segments to self assemble into ordered structures by modifying the environment of the nanotubes and the history of that environment prior to and during the process. The materials and objects are “macroscopic” in that they are large enough to be seen without the aid of a microscope or of the dimensions of such objects.

Abstract: This invention discloses a method of transmitting data through Local Area Network by abandoning the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to eliminate the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and avoid unnecessary delay and communication flow. The present invention also abandons the concept of TCP/IP address, so that it is not necessary to maintain the huge TCP/IP address database in wireless LAN in order to implement the gapless roaming and reduce packet conflict during the transmission process by defining a smaller capacity for the data packet head in the high-speed wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11 protocol.

Abstract: A method for producing paper suitable for rotogravure printing by using a metered size press process to apply a coating formulation to a paper and then calendering the coated paper. In one aspect, the coating formulation comprises a pigment mixture containing engineered delaminated kaolin clay, and a latex binder. In another aspect, the pigment mixture comprises delaminated kaolin clay, engineered delaminated kaolin clay and calcined clay. Alternatively, talc is used in place of the calcined clay. In a further aspect, the pigment mixture comprises delaminated kaolin clay, platey kaolin clay, coarse kaolin clay and calcined clay.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a high bulk, low weight paper product produced by using a high level of groundwood containing sheet, blade coating with specifically formulated coatings then passing the paper web between two extended-nip calenders, one calender for each side of paper. As a result, densification of the resulting coated paper product is reduced, while maintaining stiffness and opacity comparable to heavier weight sheets.
