US Patent:

8157586, Apr 17, 2012
Filed:

May 12, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/778582
Inventors:

Gregory Loyd Mullins - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:

Genesis Technology USA, Inc. - Norcross GA
International Classification:

H01R 13/73
US Classification:

439572, 43960728
Abstract:

Concepts and technologies described herein provide for securing a connector shell to a circuit board using a separate connector hat with elongated mounting posts. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, a connector hat includes a one-piece body with a top surface and a pair of mounting posts. The mounting posts extend downwards from opposing side edges of the top surface. The posts are of sufficient length to extend beyond a bottom surface of a connector shell to which the connector hat is configured to attach, and through a bottom surface of an associated circuit board. The two-piece connector assembly design utilizing the connector hat with mounting posts allows the mounting posts to be manufactured at any desirable length to facilitate installation of the connector assembly to a circuit board.

Filed:

Sep 28, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/247396
Inventors:

Gregory Loyd Mullins - Atlanta GA, US
Chi-Lun Lin - Taipei, TW
Zhuo Chen - Guang Dong, CN
Assignee:

Genesis Technology USA, Inc. - Norcross GA
International Classification:

H01R 13/00
US Classification:

235451, 235439, 235441, 439485, 439487, 361688, 361704, 361709, 361711
Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with a heat-dissipating card connector for use with a card reader connected to an electronic device. The connector has a body configured to receive a card that has circuitry, when the card is inserted into the card reader. The connector body includes a plurality of electronic contacts that engage the card circuitry and operationally link the card to the electronic device. The connector body includes at least one heat conductive spring that includes a card engaging portion. The card engaging portion contacts the card and directs heat from the card when the card is inserted in the card reader. A heat directing element, also part of the heat conductive spring, transfers heat from the card engaging portion to a heat-dissipating structure of the electronic device when the card is inserted in the card reader.

Filed:

Jun 6, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/154389
Inventors:

William E. Mantzel - Atlanta GA, US
Kenneth I. Greenebaum - San Carlos CA, US
Gregory Keith Mullins - Boulder Creek CA, US
International Classification:

H04N 5/228
US Classification:

3482082, 3482086, 348E05031
Abstract:

Several methods, devices and systems for correcting rolling shutter artifacts are described. In one embodiment, an image capturing system includes a rolling shutter image sensor that may cause a rolling shutter artifact (e.g., warping). The system includes a processing system that is configured to perform an automatic rolling shutter correction mechanism that utilizes calibration data based on a relationship between pixel locations in an image plane of the image sensor and their corresponding rays of light in a coordinate space. The rolling shutter mechanism determines pixel velocity components based on the calibration data and estimates for each image an aggregate pixel velocity based on an aggregation of the pixel velocity components.
