International Classification:

H01R 1200

US Classification:

4396991, 439746, 439680, 439947

Abstract:

A low profile connector assembly for use with first and second printed circuit boards comprising a male connector housing having a cavity communicating with an opening in a side. A plurality of male electrical contacts have respective blades are disposed completely within the cavity in longitudinally spaced-apart positions and accessible from the opening. A female connector housing is included in the connector assembly for at least partially seating within the cavity. A plurality of female electrical contacts are carried by the female housing and have respective socket portions for receiving the blades when the male and female housings are interconnected. The male and female electrical contacts serve to transmit power between the printed circuit boards. The connector assembly may include a split blade assembly having unitary bodies separated by an insulative spacer for transmitting power from distinct traces and may include cooperative ribs and grooves.

International Classification:

H01R 1200

US Classification:

439862, 439947

Abstract:

A socket assembly having first and second bodies of an electrically conductive material. Each of the bodies has a unitary construction and has a width and a central portion extending substantially in a plane. The central portion has a plurality of pin members extending in the plane in spaced-apart positions across the width from its second end and a plurality of thin contact members secured to its first end and spaced apart across the width. The thin contact members extend toward the second end and are bowed outwardly from the central portion, and are opposed to each other for sandwiching a connector blade therebetween. The pin members are adapted to engage an array of interconnect holes in a printed circuit board.

International Classification:

H01R 1200

US Classification:

4396991, 4399241

Abstract:

A male electrical contact assembly having first and second unitary bodies, each having a central portion and a blade member extending from the central portion. An insulating spacer is disposed between the bodies for insulating them from each other. Each of the bodies transmits a distinct power supply. In another embodiment, a male electrical contact comprising a conductive body having first and second blade members is provided. The blade members have first ends joined together to form a rounded end and second ends joined to respective spaced-apart, first and second central members. In a further embodiment, an electrical contact comprising a conductive body having a central portion is provided. A plurality of thin contact members are secured to a first end of the body and extend in a first direction to a fold and then in an opposite second direction towards the second end of the body to a common strip for engaging a contact blade.

International Classification:

H01R 1200

US Classification:

439 79

Abstract:

A connector for use with a printed circuit board having a plurality of traces extening to an array of interconnect holes. The connector includes a connector housing adapted for mounting to the printed circuit board in a position overlying the array of interconnect holes and at least one male connector means of an electrically conductive material carried by the male connector housing. The male connector means is formed from a unitary body having first and second blade members and first and second central members. Each of the first and second blade members extends in juxtaposition and has first and second ends. The first ends of the first and second blade members are joined together to form a forward end of the male connector means and the second ends of the first and second blade members are joined to respective first and second central members. The first and second central members are spaced apart and each has an end. The unitary body includes a plurality of pin members extending from the end of each of the first and second central members for engaging the array of interconnect holes in the circuit board.

Elcon Products International Company - Fremont CA

International Classification:

H01R 1122

US Classification:

339256R

Abstract:

An electrical contact device for use as part of an electrical contact unit. The device comprises a body having a central part and a pair of end parts, one of the end parts adapted to be coupled to a wire and the other end part defining an extension which is removably received within a second, tubular contact element forming another part of the electrical contact unit. A sleeve surrounds the extension and is spaced therefrom to present an annular space for receiving the tubular element. A male contact band surrounds and is coupled to the extension and a female contact band is carried within the sleeve. Both bands have electrically conductive, curved contact members which project into the annular space from opposite directions and contact the inner and outer surfaces, respectively, of the tubular element when the same is in the annular space between the extension and the sleeve. The bands provide for an increase in current-carrying capability for the unit, lower contact resistance and minimum temperature rise due to current flow through the bands. Several different ways of connecting a wire to the device are disclosed.

Abstract:

A method for providing medical diagnostics comprises providing access to one or more platforms capable of distributing one or more applications for implementing a method. The method comprises retrieving, with the aid of a processor, one or more images from an image database or an imaging device. The one or more images can define a set of images. Next, with the aid of a processor, whether each of the images is of medical interest to a reviewing physician is determined. One or more images can then be provided to a display and analysis system for review by a reviewing physician. The one or more images can be provided with an image that is representative of the set of images.
