Title: Electrical connector housing
Inventor: HARPER DONALD K JR
IPC: H01R12/51
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: A connector is provided for reducing the effects of differential coefficient of thermal expansion of the connector and the underlying circuit board. The connector exhibits high coplanarity along the mounting interface by providing an insulative connector housing in which stress buildup is avoided. The connector housing incorporates compliant sections corresponding to the areas where the greatest deformation in the substrate is expected. The housing has notches or slots at locations furthest from the neutral point (NP) of the connector (i.e., around the corners). By means of this arrangement, stress buildup is avoided, so as to minimize warping and twisting of the housing.

Patent CA-2334594-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOBBS THOMAS J
IPC: B05C5/02
Filed: 2001-02-06
Abstract: A valve for dispensing a viscous fluid, includes a valve body defining a fluid chamber and a stepped armature within the fluid chamber. The armature has a large diameter portion maintained spaced apart from an inner surface of the valve body, defining a first air gap therebetween, and a second, smaller diameter portion which engages an inner surface of the valve body, supporting the armature within the valve body and defining a second lower reluctance air gap. A solenoid coil energized by a peak and hold drive current produces an electromagnetic field for moving the armature relative to the magnetic pole piece and the valve body. The second portion of the armature becomes magnetically saturated during the peak portion of the drive current, causing magnetic flux to be diverted through the first portion of the armature.      The second portion of the armature comes out of saturation during the hold portion of the drive current, allowing a portion of the magnetic flux to be passed through the lower reluctance air gap.
