Title: Modular connectors with compensation structures
Inventor: REEDE IVAN
IPC: H01R13/719
Filed: 1999-12-02
Granted: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A high performance modular connector system includes a plug and a jack both arranged for high frequency data transmission. The plug is constructed for coupling in a mating arrangement with the jack both including a plurality of contacts arranged to provide conductive paths for carrying a high-frequency data signal. The connector system includes several counter-coupling or compensation structures, each having a specific function in cross-talk reduction. The compensation structures are designed to offset and thus electrically balance frequency-dependent capacitive and inductive coupling. One important type of the compensation structure is located near contact points forming the conductive paths between connector terminals of the jack and connector terminals of the plug. This compensation structure is conductively connected to at least some of the contacts and is located outside the conductive path carrying the high-frequency data signal. This compensation structure may be connected to contacts of the jack or contacts of the plug.

Patent CA-2316942-C (CA)
Inventor: BATES TERENCE
IPC: H05H9/04
Filed: 1999-02-05
Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: This device allows the variation of the coupling between two points in an RF  circuit in a very simple way whilst maintaining the RF phase relationship and varying the relative magnitude of the RF fields. The device is characterised by a simple mechanical control of coupling value, that has negligible effect on the phase shift across the device. This is achieved by the simple rotation of the polarisation of a TE111 mode inside a cylindrical cavity. Such a device does not contain resistive elements, and the sliding mechanical surfaces are free from high RF currents. This device finds an application in standing wave linear accelerators, where it is desirable to vary the relative RF field in one set of cavities with respect to another, in order that the accelerator can operate successfully over a wide range of energies.
Patent CA-2317234-C (CA)

Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: The invention provides improved razors, razor blades, and processes for producing razor blades or similar cutting tools with sharp and durable cutting edges. With this invention a hard carbon coating is applied to a blade having a cutting edge bounded by a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, with an included blade angle enclosed by the inclined surfaces. An arc discharge is applied to an evaporable carbon surface of a cathode to generate a plasma stream of vaporized carbon in a generally directional stream resolvable into a set of roughly parallel lines. The blade to be coated is oriented within the plasma stream so that an angle measured from a line bisecting the included blade angle and one of the set of roughly parallel lines is with the range of 20° to 90°, so as to exposes one of the inclined surfaces to the plasma stream at that angle. The blade is presented to the plasma stream so that deposition of vaporized carbon occurs on both inclined surfaces of the blade cutting edge. The deposition takes place at an approximately equal rate of deposition on the two inclined surfaces. The coated blade is stiff and rigid while maintaining a high aspect ratio.

Abstract: The present invention relates to both a textile article and a method of making the textile article. The textile article is a two-sided Jacquard woven textile with a graphic impression on at least one side thereof. In one embodiment, the front side of the textile has a dark color border and a light color area within said border. The light color area is the area receiving the graphic impression. It is sometimes advantageous to reverse the textile. Therefore, in another embodiment the front side has a light color border with a dark central area, and the dark central area will receive the graphic impression. The graphic impression may be applied by screen printing, image dyeing, digital imaging, or heat transfer (heat applied graphics). The method of making the article comprises the steps of providing a two-sided Jacquard woven textile and then transferring the impression onto the textile, preferably in the light color central area, but the reverse side of the textile could be employed and the impression could be on the dark central area. The textile may be a golf or sports towel, hand, bath, or wash towel, beach towel, baby bib, a bath or beach robe, a bath mat, an apron, hot-plate, mittens, and the like.
