摘要： A retention system is provided for an electrical connector mountable to a substrate such as a printed circuit board. A dielectric housing has electrical terminals mounted therein, and the housing is adapted for mounting on a surface of the circuit board with the terminals establishing electrical connection to appropriate circuits on the board. The housing includes at least one mounting portion projecting generally parallel to the board in proximity to the surface thereof. A generally U-shaped hold-down clip has a bight portion spanning proximal ends of a pair of leg portions. The leg portions are configured for depending generally along opposite sides of the mounting portion of the housing, with feet portions at distal ends of the leg portions for surface mounting to the surface of the printed circuit board. A complementary interengaging retaining system is provided between the bight portion of the hold-down clip and the mounting portion of the housing for retaining the clip thereon.

摘要： A shielded electrical connector is provided for interconnection to a multi-conductor cable. The connector includes an insulative housing having a front mating face and a rear conductor-receiving face. A conductive shell is disposed about at least a portion of the housing and has an aperture near the rear face of the housing. A pair of conductive shield halves enclose the rear conductor-receiving face of the housing and define a cavity extending rearward therefrom. The shield halves have hooks for engaging beneath portions of the shell proximate the aperture as the shield halves are rotated about the hooks to form the cavity. A fulcrum projection is operatively associated between the shield halves intermediate the front and rear ends thereof for pivoting the shield halves about the fulcrum projection as the shield halves are rotated about the hooks. Thus, the hooks are urged outwardly to positively engage the portions of the shell to assure an electrical connection between the shield halves and the shell.

摘要： Techniques for superimposing highlights and shadows onto a background in order to simulate a brush texture graphical style within a software application's component window. The techniques include decoding a user-selected base-color into its individual color components, performing a contrast operation on the individual color components to determine highlight and shadow colors, and superimposing the highlight and shadow colors onto the user selected background.

摘要： An enhancement to graphical user interface software adds training and customization features that allow users to select between levels of interface sophistication according to skill level. While pull-down menu functions and toolbar functions are commonly presented independently, the List-Bar interface control allows a user to present a menu and a toolbar together, including positional cues to further speed user familiarization with the toolbar's symbolic abstraction of menu terminology. A novice or occasional user can choose to use a menu alone, while an expert may prefer a toolbar alone. For a progressing user, having both modes displayed, active, and positioned in parallel can speed and reinforce learning. In addition to allowing direct arrow-key-class, mouse-class, and stylus-class pointing and selection tools, List-Bar interface control further directly supports touchscreen-controlled user interface, for which variable and generally more widely spaced selection element presentation on the display is accommodated.

摘要： An electrical connector assembly is provided for terminating a multi-conductor cable. The assembly includes a conductive guide member having a plurality of channels for positioning the conductors of the multi-conductor cable whereby the conductors can be trimmed along an edge of the guide member. A cover member is profiled for engagement with the conductor guide member, with a portion of the cover member covering exposed ends of the trimmed conductors. A base assembly mounts a plurality of terminals and is profiled for aligning the terminals for termination to respective conductors when the base assembly is assembled with the conductor guide member and cover member. The cover member is sandwiched between the conductive guide member and the base assembly and includes a plurality of apertures through which the terminals project for termination to the conductors. The connector includes a conductive backshell formed by a pair of backshell halves. The backshell halves provide strain relief for the cable, a clamping device for a drain wire from the cable and a ground connection for a shield of the base assembly. A mating connector is disclosed and includes a molded plastic housing and a metal shield for mating with the electrical connector assembly for the multi-conductor cable.

摘要： A differential pair connector includes a housing having receptacles for receiving differential pair conductors and electrically conductive shielding tabs extending away from the housing between the receptacles for reducing crosstalk between the differential pairs. The tabs insert into a mated connector when an interconnect is formed. By inserting into the second connector, the shield tabs extend a larger ground plane around each differential pair, thus significantly reducing crosstalk within the connector. The connector can be a high density GbX® style daughter card connector mated to a GbX® style backplane connector.

摘要： By combining the information acquired from a location system that is tracking equipment and/or personnel within a hospital environment, automatic assignment of the “re-located” patient monitoring equipment can be made in concert with a nurse call system. By utilizing time-based elimination criteria, monitoring equipment that is coupled to generic port can be automatically processed for port priorities, and equipment assignment changes. An event subscription manager with location bridges and nurse call bridges facilitate the automatic association of the patient monitoring equipment to the respective nurse call system and intended information therein. By use of the automatic association paradigms, manual alarm and assignment tasks can be minimized.

摘要： An apparatus and method for responding to an input signal by accessing a data source, retrieving relevant data and utilizing the data to construct and route an outgoing message. Using this apparatus and method, hospitals can provide efficient and personalized responses to patient requests, which can be initialized via a nurse call device. These efficient and personalized responses are accomplished by accessing a data source to obtain specific information about a patent, and then routing relevant portions of the information, via a text message, to those having privy to the information and responsible for caring for the patient.
