Abstract: A stator winding machine has a turret plate mounted for rotation about a vertical axis with stator clamp mechanisms mounted at spaced locations around its periphery for clamping stators to the turret plate with the axes of the stators coplanar with the axis of reciprocation and oscillation of the winding shuttle used to wind coils on the stators. The turret plate is repeatedly indexed in one direction about its vertical center axis to repeatedly sequentially move each of the stator clamp mechanisms to a load/unload station, an optional idle station, a winding station, a coil lead terminating station, and then back to the load/unload station. Parts of the machine are quickly replaceable and other parts are programmably adjustable to accommodate different stator configurations. The programmably adjustable parts include a lead pull assembly having wire grippers mounted on carriages driven in respectively opposite directions along planes that a perpendicular to the axis of reciprocation and oscillation of the winding shuttle by a programmably controlled drive motor. Air actuators on carriage are used to pivot the wire grippers and to control the vertical spacing of the wire grippers.

Abstract: A system having a battery (30), a battery support unit (20), and an electronic device (80) provides for the exchange of information between the battery support unit and the electronic device via a mailbox (50) in memory (40) in the battery. When the battery is placed in the battery support unit, the battery support unit tests the battery for an error condition. If the battery support unit finds an error condition with the battery, it transmits error data (51) to a mailbox located in the battery's memory. When the battery is then removed from the battery support unit and placed in an electronic device, the electronic device can read the error data in the mailbox and take an appropriate action. For example, the electronic device reads the mailbox and find the error data placed there by the battery support unit. In response to finding this error data, the electronic device enables an indicator (62), such as an indicator that informs a user that maintenance needs to be performed on the battery. The user can continue using the battery, knowing that its operation is likely to be unreliable, or can remove it from the electronic device and insert it into the battery support unit for maintenance. When battery maintenance has been selected, the battery support unit reconditions the battery by performing a predetermined number of charge/discharge cycles, and also performs additional testing on the battery.

Abstract: A pre-connectorized loose tube cable protects the optical fibers as the fibers are being routed from the end of an outer sheath to the fiber distribution shelf. The pre-connectorized loose tube cable has a plurality of flexible tubes which are connected to a respective plurality of buffer tubes. The flexible tubes are securely attached to the ends of the buffer tubes and to the pre-connectorized loose tube cable by a capping epoxy and by heat shrinks. The flexible tube has a wall thickness which is greater than the minimum bend radius for the fibers. With such a wall thickness, the fibers are not bent past their minimum bend radius, and thus do not break, even if the flexible tube is bent up to an angle of one hundred eighty degrees.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include a housing, a contact, a secondary lock, a grommet, a backplate, a bolt, a contact removal tool, and a splash guard. The housing includes openings which receive the contacts. The grommets are positioned in cavities at the rear of the housing. The housing and backplate are designed so that the grommets are subjected to compressive forces in order to enhance the sealing characteristic of the grommets. As the contact is inserted, a locking tab engages an opening in the contact and prevents the contact from being removed from the housing. The secondary locks will increase the retention of the contact in the electrical connector. In addition, the secondary lock may include a feature which permits the partial insertion and retention of the secondary lock prior to insertion of the contact. The secondary lock also assures that the contacts have been properly inserted. The electrical connector may also include a splash guard which would assist in deflecting water from the rear of the electrical connector. The electrical connector may also include a removal tool which may be used to remove contacts from the electrical connector. The removal tool can be stored in the backplate or the housing.

Abstract: A telecommunications switching system (1) has a switch unit (2) having switches (9) controlled by local modules (10). These modules implement instructions which are either in-build or are received from remote modules (20) on machines (6, 7, 8) which communicate via a central router (3). This allows almost unlimited processing scalability and versatility. An application object base (21) has an object corresponding directly to a local module (10) or a subset thereof and a signal base (22) provides signal-level commands understood by the local module (10). A signal transfer function (23) on the remote machine (6), and a signal transfer function (11) on the switch unit (2) provide for direct transfer of signals in both directions. There is no need to modify the local modules (10) as the signal transfer function (11) is addressable as a local module and the remote aspect of the interaction is transparent to the local modules (10).
