摘要： A connection switch jack has first and second sets of pins, and a set of spring contacts for connecting the first and second sets of pins when the spring contacts are in a normally closed position. The jack has a receptacle for receiving a plug having a plurality of plug contacts, wherein receipt of the plug connects corresponding plug contacts to selected pins of the first set of pins via the spring contacts and then moves the switch off of the normally closed position to break the contact between the first and second sets of pins.

摘要： A coaxial jack with an internal switch mechanism includes a cylindrical shell having an axial front opening, and an elongate center conductor supported coaxially inside the shell. A back end of an elongate resilient switch contact is fixed by a switch contact support at a back portion of the shell on one side of the shell axis. The switch contact extends inside the shell toward the front opening at a certain inclination and has a free end located on a side of the shell axis opposite the one side. The switch contact is configured and positioned to make an electrical connection with the center conductor in the absence of a mating plug. An elongate actuator is supported on the inner periphery of the shell and has an engaging part that protrudes into a defined plug travel path inside the shell. The engaging part is configured to cause the free end of the switch contact to deflect by an amount sufficient to break the electrical connection between the contact and the center conductor when a mating plug travels into the shell and displaces the engaging part of the actuator.

摘要： A coaxial jack with an internal switch mechanism and a shielded signal conductor includes a cylindrical shell having an axial opening, and an elongate signal conductor supported coaxially inside the shell, and surrounded by a shield that includes an access window positioned so that a portion of the signal conductor is accessible. A back end of an elongate resilient switch contact is fixed by a switch contact support at a back portion of the shell on one side of the shell axis. The switch contact extends inside the shell toward the front opening at a certain inclination and has a free end located on a side of the shell axis opposite the one side. The switch contact is configured and positioned to make an electrical connection with the signal conductor, via the access window in the shield, in the absence of a mating plug. An elongate actuator is supported on the inner periphery of the shell and has an engaging part that protrudes into a defined plug travel path inside the shell. The engaging part is configured to cause the free end of the switch contact to deflect by an amount sufficient to break the electrical connection between the contact and the center conductor when a mating plug travels into the shell and displaces the engaging part of the actuator.

摘要： An amplifier design for a capacitive load reduces power supply requirements by recovering, during the discharge of the capacitive load, a substantial amount of the stored energy without causing noise signals to be created. The recovered energy is stored in novel series-connected capacitors to be reused during the subsequent load charge cycle. The stack becomes an effective multiple power supply source. The capacitors are successively switched and thus sequentially harnessed to the load capacitor so that the voltage across the load capacitor is increased by selected step increments instead of by one large voltage jump which causes circuit noise. By using MOSFET devices for the switches, the voltage increase during charging and decrease during discharging is continuous, thus eliminating the step function which causes much of the deleterious noise. The amplifier is especially useful as a driver for an actuator in an active control system for quieting noise-causing vibrations in buildings and other structures, which can be a health hazard.

摘要： An infrared collector for use in communications systems. The infrared collector employs a concentrator which concentrates infrared radiation received from some directions more than others. The concentrator is made of a dielectric material which is substantially transparent to infrared radiation and has a shape which is convex above a base plane determined by the top surface of an infrared radiation detector and in which any ray which connects any part of the top surface of the detector to any part of the concentrator above the base plane intersects the surface of the concentrator at an angle less than the critical angle for the material from which concentrator is made. The amount of concentration from a given direction is controlled by the curvature of the collector. The less a portion of the surface is curved, the less infrared radiation normal to the less-curved portion is concentrated. The collector may be used in environments where there is a predominant direction from which infrared noise is received in the collector which is different from the direction from which infrared communications signals are received in the collector.

摘要： An infrared collector which employs a non-directive concentrator to concentrate the infrared radiation received in the collector on a detector. In a preferred embodiment, the concentrator is a plastic hemisphere which has an array of PIN diodes glued to its flat side. The hemisphere may have any radius which is greater than or equal to a value dN, where N is the index of refraction of the plastic making up the hemisphere is N and d is the distance from the center of the array of diodes to the most remote part of the infrared-sensitive material. The fact that the concentrator is non-directive obviates the need to aim receivers employing the concentrator at transmitters. The receivers and transmitters need only be in line of sight of each other. The concentrator may further be used generally to concentrate infrared and visible radiation.

摘要： A low-cost, low-power infrared digital communications system. The system overcomes the problem of infrared noise from interior lighting without using either a high-power infrared source or upmodulation of the source. The system includes an infrared collector which uses a non-directional concentrator to concentrate the infrared radiation and a circuit which detects the digital infrared signal in the noise by detecting the edges of the digital infrared signal. Devices in the system need not be aimed at each other, but need only be in line of sight of each other. The preferred embodiment employs the digital infrared signals to communicate between a set of digital devices and a breaker box connected to the telephone network.
