Abstract:
Aspects of the invention are directed to an apparatus comprising a first arm and a second arm. The first arm defines a first proximal end region and a first distal end region. The first distal end region defines a first partial hollow cylinder with a first inner face and a first outer face. The second arm defines a second proximal end region and a second distal end region. The second proximal end region is fixated to the first proximal end region. The second distal end region defines a second partial hollow cylinder with a second inner face and a second outer face. Each of the first inner face, the first outer face, the second inner face, and the second outer face are at least partially coated in an abrasive material.
Abstract:
A method is provided for eliminating an electrical short circuit that can be caused by a filamentary tin crystal in an electronics assembly in particular of a motor vehicle. The method includes, but is not limited to providing the electronics assembly, that includes, but is not limited to electrical components with connectors and conductor paths for connecting the components. The components have configurable inputs and outputs. At least two of the inputs and outputs of the electrical components are configured so as to form an input connector and an output connector so that in the event of the electrical short circuit caused by the filamentary tin crystal, a short circuit current flows between the input connector and the output connector, which short circuit current is high enough to destroy the filamentary tin crystal.
Abstract:
A connector assembly adapted to be disposed in a casing of an electronic device is provided. The connector assembly includes a connector and a locking member. The locking member includes a supporting portion and a holding portion connected to the supporting portion. The connector is disposed on the supporting portion. The locking member is adapted to clamp at an end of a substrate disposed in the casing, and the supporting portion and the holding portion lean against an upper side and a lower side of the end of the substrate respectively. An electronic device including the connector assembly aforementioned is also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a test socket having a high-density conductive unit, and to a method for manufacturing same, whereby an elastic conductive sheet is arranged at a position corresponding to the terminal of the device, and includes a first conductive unit arranged in the thickness direction of an elastic material and an insulating support unit for supporting the first conductive unit. A support sheet is attached to the elastic conductive sheet and has through-holes corresponding to the terminal of the device. A second conductive unit is arranged in the through-holes of the support sheet in the thickness direction in an elastic material.
Abstract:
A connector includes, in one embodiment, a body assembly configured to be secured to a prepared end of a coaxial cable. The connector has a coupler assembly connected to the body assembly for connecting the body assembly to an interface port. The connector also has a flexible interlock to facilitate repeated assembly and disassembly of the connector.
Abstract:
A system for engaging fasteners includes a socket assembly and a fastener jig. The socket assembly having a socket body and a spring blade assembly, which includes a blade retaining ring and a plurality of resiliently deformable retaining blades that are movable with respect to a blade guide, between releasing and securing positions that selectively enclose and expose the socket body opening. The fastener jig includes a jig frame and at least one pair of opposing fastener jaws, which are movable between a releasing position and a securing position. The fastener jig may include a pair of opposing mounting jaws movable between a releasing position and a securing position. The socket assembly and fastener jig are configured to be operated at the distal ends of elongated tool arms, such as lineman hot-sticks.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for monitoring a brush holder assembly and/or detecting wear of a brush in a brush holder assembly are disclosed. One method includes sending data from a plurality of remote monitoring locations to a central control unit, where the data may be evaluated in order to monitor states of brushes at a plurality of remote electrical facilities. For example, multiple images of a marker tracking longitudinal movement of the brush may be acquired. A comparison of the images, for example, a comparative imaging technique, such as pixel-by-pixel comparison, may then be performed in order to evaluate a condition of the brush, such as the wear rate, wear state, or life expectancy of the brush.
Abstract:
A USB connector cleaner for cleaning conductive pins received in a recess of a USB connector is provided. The USB connector cleaner includes a base, a cleaning head, and a driving member. The cleaning head is configured for inserting into the recess to clean the conductive pins. The cleaning head includes a supporting member fixed on the base and a cleaning brush rotatably connected to the supporting member. The driving member is slidably connected to the base for driving the cleaning brush to cleaning the conductive pins.

Abstract:
An apparatus for cleaning male electrical pins comprises a base portion, a first cleaning extension, and a second cleaning extension. The first cleaning extension extends from the base portion and defines a first substantially half-cylindrical shell. Likewise, the second cleaning extension extends from the base portion in a direction substantially parallel to the first cleaning extension, and defines a second substantially half-cylindrical shell. The first cleaning extension and the second cleaning extension define a gap therebetween. In addition, each of the first and second substantially half-cylindrical shells comprises a respective knurled surface region facing the gap.
