Abstract:
A mobile telephone charger includes a charger case housing a circuit board, and a plug to be combined with the charger case to use DC source in an automobile for charging. The circuit board has an input terminal for connecting with the plug and an output terminal for connecting with a mobile telephone. If AC source is to be used for charging, a plug from AC source can be directly connected with the input terminal of the charger case.
Abstract:
A new, small form factor power supply is disclosed that provides a regulated DC power supply in a package that radiates relatively little heat and that occupies 2.85.times.5.0.times.0.436 inches. The secondary coil of the transformer is positioned at the summing node of the flux of the primary coils and the phase of the drive signals provided to the secondary coils is regulated to control the current and voltage provided by the secondary circuit. Preferably, all circuit components are surface mount devices and the transformer cores are E block planar cores mounted on the printed circuit board.

Abstract:
A signal transmission line or an electrical connector includes an inner electrical conductor, an outer electrical conductor, a dielectric region between the inner electrical conductor and the outer electrical conductor, and an electrically thin resistive layer within the dielectric region and concentric with the inner electrical conductor and the outer electrical conductor. The electrically thin resistive layer is a resistive layer configured to be transparent to a substantially transverse-electromagnetic (TEM) mode of transmission, while absorbing higher order modes of transmission.

Abstract:
An electrical connector is provided for terminating an electrical cable having an insulated conductor surrounded by a ground shield. The electrical connector includes a housing, an electrical contact held by the housing, an inner ferrule configured to extend between the ground shield and the insulated conductor of the electrical cable, and an outer ferrule extending around the inner ferrule such that the ground shield of the electrical cable extends between the inner and outer ferrules when the electrical connector terminates the electrical cable. A rear cover is connected to the housing. The rear cover extends around and compresses the outer ferrule such that the ground shield of the electrical cable is captured between the inner and outer ferrules when the electrical connector terminates the electrical cable.
