摘要:
A waveguide (12) having a core region (16) and a cladding region (20) is formed. A portion of the cladding region (20) forms a first surface (21) and portions of both the core region (16) and the cladding region (20) forms an end surface (15). An insulative flexible substrate (14) having an electrically conductive tracing (32) with a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the insulative flexible substrate (14) is mounted on the end surface of the waveguide (12).

An outgassing shield (40) for a lamp socket (22) comprises a cup-shaped unit that fits over the end of the socket that penetrates a lamp reflector (12), reducing the temperature upon the socket body and substantially eliminating outgassing. The elimination of the outgassing prevents deleterious buildup of outgassed materials on the reflector surface and the interior of the lens, thereby enhancing light output.

A surgical smoke evacuator includes a housing and means defining an air flow channel through the housing. At least one filter having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the air flow channel with portions of the housing defining an inlet for receiving the filter and a filter cavity for receiving the filter in the air flow channel. Tabs on the filter and associated guide slots on the housing, guide the filter along a circuitous path between the inlet and filter cavity during loading and unloading of the filter. This path includes axial portions which facilitate axial filter movement and angular portions which facilitate angular filter movement relative to the housing.

An improved semiconductor die for plastic encapsulated semiconductor devices which impedes the inherent delamination caused by the differing expansion coefficients of the semiconductor die and plastic encapsulation. Topological configurations are processed in the die corners of the semiconductor die which are void of circuitry. The topological configurations act as barriers and slow the delamination progression. This leaves the operational circuitry unaffected for an increased time thereby increasing device lifetime.

A lamp socket is provided that includes slidably engaging body and housing components. Resilient retention members are attached within the body component to grasp the base of a wedge base lamp to attach the lamp to the body component. Contacts extend into the body component to engage lead wires of the lamp. Such contacts extend out of the body component and through respective apertures in the housing component for electrical and mechanical attachment to a mating connector. The contacts are held in place relative to the body component by being inserted into body openings within the body component structured and arranged to hold the contacts in place.

050128487A lamp assembly is provided which includes a lamp, a lamp base attached to the lamp, and a lamp heater. One or more abutment regions of the lamp and the lamp base mate with one another to provide axial and rotational orientation of the lamp relative to the lamp base. The lamp heater conforms to the surface of the lamp and may be bonded thereto by an adhesive. The lamp heater may include a heater element and thermistor adjacent to a surface of the lamp. The lamp, lamp heater and thermistor are connected to a connector. A thermal breaker is connected to the heater. The thermal breaker provides a safety device to control maximum lamp temperature. The thermistor controls the operating temperature of the lamp. The lamp assembly may include a display device wherein the lamp is secured to the display device.

The present invention features an electrical and electronic connector module having six degrees of freedom. The connector module is particularly useful in advanced electrical and electronic wiring systems, such as multiplexed wiring systems, wherein many electrical functions or signals share common wire pathways. The connector module comprises a male header containing a plurality of male connector elements. A plurality of female connector elements disposed in a receptacle assembly is designed to align and mate with respective ones of the male connector elements disposed in the male header. The header and receptacle align by means of a pair of header shoulder bolts that seat within apertures disposed on distal ends of the receptacle. The mating of the male-female connectors is assured by reason that the receptacle is allowed to float within a housing, which forms part of the receptacle assembly.
摘要:
An electrical connector that comprises an electrically insulating housing having a front end and a back end displaced along a longitudinal axis. An electrical contact receiving aperture is formed in the housing and is arrayed parallel to the longitudinal axis. The back end of the connector housing further includes a contact receiving entrance that has a given cross-sectional, one-way footprint and has a given length “L” along the longitudinal axis. An electrical contact is positioned in the contact-receiving aperture, and has the same cross-sectional, one-way footprint as the entrance. At least a portion of the longitudinal length of the contact, designated “L1” is sufficient to retain engagement with the contact receiving entrance until the contact enters the electrical contact-receiving aperture in the insulating housing. The one-way footprint assures correct alignment of the contact with the housing aperture and allows for a much smaller contact with lesser spacing between contacts, thus allowing for a greater contact density and a miniaturization of the connector.

An angled lamp socket includes a body and a housing. The body contains therein opposing lamp retaining clips and a plurality of IDC contacts. The housing contains a plurality of holes to receive wire leads. The housing also contains a housing disc. The bottom portion of the IDC contacts are connected electrically to the wire leads and the top portion of the IDC contacts are connected to the lamp. When a lamp is inserted into the socket body, the horizontal axis of the lamp will extend at an angle in relation to the wire leads. In a preferred embodiment, such an angle is 90° thereby providing a right angle lamp socket.
