Filed:

Mar 31, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/094161

Inventors:

Steven Feldman - New York NY, US
David P. Eckel - Eaton's Neck NY, US
Maxim Laurent - Brooklyn NY, US
Gaetano Bonasia - Bronx NY, US

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Little Neck NY

International Classification:

H01R 3/00

US Classification:

439488

Abstract:

Indicator means located in a plug or connector indicates when at least one phase of an AC multi-phase voltage is absent. The indicator means can be any one of a variety of light sources and/or an audible generator. The light source can be, for example, an LED, an illuminating ring visible from any angle around the body of the plug or connector, etc. An opaque barrier can be used to totally or partially block the light from the light source when light from the light indicator may be objectionable such as during a stage lighting application. The indicator means for detecting the absence of at least one phase can be on a printed circuit board connected to receive power from the conductors in the plug or connector.

Appl. No.:

11/134766

Inventors:

Steven Feldman - New York NY, US
Gaetano Bonasia - Bronx NY, US

International Classification:

H04M 11/00

US Classification:

379090010

Abstract:

A low cost communications device such as a modem reduces electrical interference or noise of signals received from a power line and transmitted to electrical devices. The modem forwards messages and commands between electrical devices and an external computer device. That is, the modem communicates over a power line without the use of a controller such as a microprocessor or microcomputer. The modem can reduce electrical interference of signals received from a power line through the use of an adjustable automatic gain (AGC) circuit.

Filed:

May 21, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/152020

Inventors:

Joseph E. Brandewie - Dunedin FL
Steven Feldman - Seminole FL
Mark F. Jackson - Harrisburg PA

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H01R 4300

US Classification:

29748

Abstract:

Block loader for inserting a plurality of terminated wire leads one at a time into a connector block by delivering wires laterally of their axes to a pair of feed wheels which engage the wire to drive it through a tunnel formed by the closure of a profiled lid against a platform and into a terminal receiving cavity in a connector block. Operations of lateral wire delivery, lid closure, and engagement of feed wheels to wire are effected by the linear motion of a single cam carriage in a single stroke without the use of switches or pneumatic actuators.

Filed:

Dec 4, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/937797

Inventors:

Frank P. Dola - Hudson FL
Steven Feldman - Seminole FL

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H01R 909

US Classification:

439 79

Abstract:

A connector formed of mating connector halves for interconnecting corresponding conductive traces of opposed printed circuit boards. Each connector half is formed of an insulative housing with electrical elements. The electrical elements include terminals of separable signal contacts arranged in rows and a central blade-like bus functioning as a reference ground plane or as a power member. When the connector halves are mechanically joined, they will electrically interconnect conductive traces of one printed circuit board with conductive traces of the other printed circuit board.

Appl. No.:

6/559129

Inventors:

Steven Feldman - Seminole FL
Richard J. Cihak - Largo FL

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H01R 909

US Classification:

339176M

Abstract:

Connector for right angle printed circuit board interface comprises two-piece dielectric housing with right angle contact elements therein each having a first arm and a second arm with respective first and second ends. First ends are pins fixed to a daughter card while second ends are compliant with surface contacts on a mother board. Compliance is provided by lateral flexure of first arms while the second arms move axially as second ends bear against surface contact. The second arms have bearing portions at an oblique angle to the board which are resiliently disposed against like angled surfaces in the housing so that second ends shift laterally during application to provide wiping. An aligning fixture on the mother board also serves as keying means.

Appl. No.:

6/197403

Inventors:

Steven Feldman - Seminole FL

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H01R 4304

US Classification:

295642

Abstract:

Apparatus comprises a plug holder having a passage therein profiled to axially receive a plug body with a metal sleeve preassembled thereto. Neck dies slideably mounted in the holder move radially inward to shear sleeve and crimp it into a circumferential recess in the plug body and a nose die slideably mounted in the holder moves axially inward to form the sleeve to a tapered leading end of the plug.

Appl. No.:

6/546792

Inventors:

Steven Feldman - Seminole FL
Marvin L. Yeager - Clearwater FL

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H05K 503

US Classification:

174 50

Abstract:

A watertight enclosure for use in an outdoor junction box for use in housing electrical connections such as solar panel installations includes a mating base and cover. The base is bounded by an upstanding peripheral wall having a channel profiled in the top. The mating cover has an outwardly facing channel formed by upper and lower peripheral parallel flanges. The lower flange on the cover fits into the channel in the box member and the upper flange overlaps the outer wall leaving a slight gap providing the only opening to the otherwise enclosed duct about the periphery of the assembly. Wires passing through bores in the upstanding wall are sealed by compressing elastomeric spheres which bore into conformity with the wires passing therethrough.
