Patent number: 8053667Abstract: A housing of a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable transceiver module includes a metallic casing and a plurality of elastic grounding assemblies. The metallic casing has a lower casing, a plurality of partitions and an upper casing. The lower casing is connected to the upper casing. The partitions are provided between the lower casing and the upper casing at intervals, thereby separating the interior of the metallic casing into a plurality of accommodating spaces. The accommodating spaces each receives a connector of a transceiver module, thereby forming a plurality of ports. Thus, the connectors of the transceiver modules share the common housing, thereby reducing the occupied space on the circuit board and increasing the number of the transceiver modules arranged on the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Jess-Link Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chun-Hua Chen, Chun-Hsu Chen

Patent number: 8045337Abstract: A lock for a housing may have a protrusion, an opening, a receptacle, and a ramp. The protrusion is formed in a first side wall of a first member of the housing, and the opening is defined in the first side wall. The receptacle extends from a second side wall of a second member of the housing, and is in some ways complementary in shape and in dimensions to the protrusion. The ramp is formed in the second side wall. When the first member and the second member are assembled, the protrusion and the receptacle are mated to form a water-tight seal therebetween, while the ramp is received within the opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jesus R. Morales, Juan I. Banzo

Patent number: 8045336Abstract: A storage device backplane and an identification circuit for identifying using situations of the storage device backplane are provided. The storage device backplane possesses a first connection interface and a second connection interface, for being used as a first backplane supporting a motherboard, or a second backplane cascaded to the first backplane, or a first backplane supporting a daughterboard of the motherboard. The first and second backplanes possess the same storage device backplane structure. If the storage device backplane is used as the first backplane, a first connection interface of the first backplane is coupled to the motherboard or the daughterboard thereof; if the storage device backplane is used as the second backplane, a first connection interface of the second backplane is coupled to a second connection interface of the first backplane. The identification circuit identifies using situations of the storage device backplane and display corresponding correct indicator number.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Lan Huang, Shih-Hao Liu

Patent number: 8035989Abstract: In the invention, a finger board is bent like a “letter V”, and a thickness adjustment plate is provided between the finger boards of modules to be able to move, thereby being able to adjust the height of a finger. Such a configuration enables to increase the contact pressure of the finger by increasing the height of the finger when the finger is inserted, and when the finger is detached, reduce the contact pressure by reducing the height of the finger. This accordingly provides a shield chassis of suppressing any possible noise with no loss of insertability/removability.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2008Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Hara, Junichi Funatsu, Toshihiro Ishiki

Patent number: 8035991Abstract: Disclosed are an electromagnetic bandgap structure and a printed circuit board that can solve a mixed signal problem between an analog circuit and a digital circuit. The electromagnetic bandgap structure in which a first metal layer, a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and a second metal layer are stacked can include a first metal plate, formed between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer; a second metal plate, formed on a same planar surface as the first metal plate, accommodated into a hole which is formed in the first metal plate and electrically connected to the first metal plate through a metal line; and a via, connecting the second metal plate to any one of the first metal layer and the second metal layer. With the present invention, the electromagnetic bandgap structure can be not only miniaturized but also have a low bandgap frequency.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Han Kim, Jae-Joon Lee, Mi-Ja Han, Dae-Hyun Park

Patent number: 8035980Abstract: A circuit structure for modifying characteristic impedance by using different reference planes is provided. The structure comprises an analog signal line, a digital signal line, a corresponding reference plane for analog signals and a corresponding reference plane for digital signals. Wherein, the line width of the analog signal line is the same as that of the digital signal line. In addition, the distance between the analog signal line and the corresponding analog signal reference plane is longer than the distance between the digital signal line and the corresponding digital signal reference plane. Accordingly, the characteristic impedance mismatch during signal transmission can be solved and the quality of signal transmission can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Inventors: Yu-Chiang Cheng, Kuo-Ming Chuang
