Abstract:
A universal DC power adaptor for a PRC-148 radio, a PRC-152 radio, a Handheld ISR Transceiver, and similar devices and a method of using the same, is disclosed. The universal DC power adaptor includes mounting and locking features that are common to both the PRC-148 radio and the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor further includes certain mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-148 radio and other mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor also provides an output voltage suitable for both the PRC-148 and PRC-152 radios. Such features also are compatible with the Handheld ISR Transceiver, making the universal DC power adaptor compatible with the ISR Transceiver as well. Additionally, the universal DC power adaptor includes programmable control electronics.
Abstract:
A cable strain relief apparatus for a cable attached to a connector includes at least one multi-section member. The member includes a first section configured to partially surround a portion of the connector and a second section aligned with the first section along a central longitudinal axis and configured to partially surround a portion of the cable. Where the apparatus includes two members, each member may include similar first and second sections, but one member may include a protrusion extending from an exposed face of a wall of the member's second section and the other member may include a protrusion receptacle integrated into an exposed face of a wall of such member's second section, wherein when the two members are joined together, the protrusion mates with the protrusion receptacle. A binder may be optionally included to secure the member to the cable or to retain the mated members together.
Abstract:
A computing device is disclosed herein. The computing device includes a connector port and a near field communication (NFC) transceiver/receiver to identify a connector approaching the connector port. The computing device also includes an indicator to indicate compatibility of the connector with the connector port.
Abstract:
A connector comprises a connector body (40), a connector upper housing (10), a locking component (20) and a connecting assembly (30) provided within the connector body (40). The locking component (20) includes a locking knob (23) and a locking bolt (21). Holes are provided on the middle of the connecting assembly (30) and the connector body (40) respectively to match with the locking bolt (21). The diameter of the locking knob (23) of the locking component (20) is larger than the width of the connector body (40). The connector upper housing (10) is fixed on the connector body (40) and restricts the locking knob (23) between the connector body (40) and the connector upper housing (10).
Abstract:
A wall plate assembly including a wall plate with an integrated USB module. The assembly includes a USB connector and printed circuit board formed together on the wall plate as an integral whole. By placing USB extender circuitry directly on the printed circuit board, rather than in a separate housing, the present assembly can maintain its bus-powered attributes without the bulk of a separate extender housing. A quick-connect coupling enables fast electrical connection and disconnection with a complementary quick-connect coupling on a USB wire.
Abstract:
Power supply equipment includes circuitry for converting an input voltage to first and second DC voltages provided at respective power ports. One of the ports is connected to a cable having a connector or connector adapter which has a shape and pin out compatible for detachably mating with a first electronic device. A second port is connected to a connector for receiving a cable for coupling to a second electronic device. The power supply powers the first electronic device at the first DC voltage and the second electronic device at the second DC voltage.
Abstract:
A programmable power supply for providing a regulated DC output power is disclosed. The power supply provides the output power to any one of a plurality of electronic devices adapted for receiving the output power at an operational voltage or an operational current. The power supply receives a programming signal to maintain the output power at the operational voltage or operational current associated with a particular selected electronic device. Accordingly, by varying the programming signal, the power supply can be programmed to provide output power to any one of several electronic devices having differing input power requirements.
Abstract:
A coaxial connection assembly including a coaxial jack. The jack is positioned within a longitudinal opening of a housing. The first end of the jack extends through a first end of the housing and the second end of the jack extends through a second end of the housing. The jack may only be inserted within and removed from the housing through the first end and may be held within the opening by a catch. Rotation of the jack within the opening is prevented. The housing includes a mounting flange extending away from the longitudinal opening. The flange may be adjacent the first end of the housing, and may include an opening for receiving a fastener. Sidewalls may extend from the flange toward the second end.
Abstract:
A spring-loaded device is installed into a node housing at a predetermined location. The predetermined location is selected to correspond to another predetermined location into which a stinger may be installed. These predetermined locations on the node housing are selected to further correspond to a predetermined internal location of an RF interface connector. A conducting pin of the RF interface extends through a dielectric between a nail head shaped end, which provides electrical connection with the stinger projection, and an end soldered to a PCB of the amplifier. The amplifier may be installed and the node housing closed before the stinger and spring-loaded device are installed into the housing. This facilitates installation of the stinger into the housing without having to open the housing and remove the amplifier. External threads on the spring-loaded device facilitate installation thereof, but a unique torque is not required therefor.
