  • Publication number: 20140073180
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant electrical system for communicating ‘caking between a power source and multiple electric devices on a truck box or trailer. A hard plastic junction block with a male connector for power input communicates internally with two or more female connectors for power output, allowing multiple electric motors or other devices to receive electricity from a single power cable. The assembly includes cables with female or male connectors at the ends, the connectors having corresponding projecting portions and passageways, and U-shaped flanges and spaces, that fit together. The space between the projecting portions and the passageways are sealed by a resilient gasket around the projecting portion, and the U-shaped flanges and projecting portions contain aligned apertures to receive a lock pin to secure the mated connectors together.

  • Patent number: 8075344
    Abstract: A patch panel system includes a patch panel frame having an opening formed therein for receiving a multi-port module. The opening is dimensioned to have a width of at least twice the width of the module. The module or patch panel frame includes at least one movable member, such as a resilient tab, which is used to removably attach the module within the opening in one of two orientations. In a first orientation, the ports of the module face a user, such that the ports can be easily populated. In a second orientation, the module is rotated one hundred eighty degrees about a vertical axis prior to being attached within the opening, such that the backs of the ports face the user to help facilitate population of connections to the backs of the ports.

  • Patent number: 6351037
    Abstract: A method for making interlevel contacts having low contact resistance (Rc) between patterned polycide layers is described. The method and resulting contact structure consists of depositing and conductively doping a first polysilicon layer having a first tungsten silicide (WSi2) layer. The first polysilicon/silicide (first polycide) layer is patterned to form the first polycide inter connecting conducting layer. An insulating layer is deposited over the patterned first polycide layer and contact openings are anisotropically plasma etched in the insulating layer to the underlying polycide layer. The etching is continued to remove completely the first silicide layer in the contact openings, and to etch into the first polysilicon-layer. After a brief hydrofluoric (HF) etch, a second doped polysilicon layer is deposited and patterned to form a second conducting interconnecting level over the contact openings.
