Abstract

Disclosed is an integrated radio network that can host a plurality of network operators, each of which may be transmitting and receiving packetized signals over a fronthaul network. Each of the network operators may have one or more prioritized packet streams whereby a given network operator may have a plurality of prioritized packet streams having a different allocated priority, and the plurality of network operators may have a differentiated priority among each other. The integrated radio network has a switch/monitor that (1) identifies one or more network operators exceeding their respective allocations and mitigates the violation; and (2) identifies fronthaul network bottlenecks and takes action to mitigate the bottleneck by reducing or impeding low priority packet streams.

Abstract

This invention disclosure relates to a community access television (CATV) signal distribution system which improves signal isolation issues for systems which are distributing both CATV signals and in-home entertainment (IHE) signals. The signal distribution system includes a signal input port, a first multi-port signal splitter and a second multi-port signal splitter. The first multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a first diplexer, and the second multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a second diplexer. In some embodiments the first diplexer high-pass node and the second diplexer high-pass node are coupled together. In some embodiment the signal distribution system includes a signal output port coupled to the signal input port through a third diplexer. The high-pass node of the third diplexer is coupled to the high-pass node of the first diplexer.

Abstract

A method for preparing a terminal end of a cable to connect to a cable connector is provided. The method includes stripping a jacket, an insulating layer, and a corrugated outer conductor from a first section of a coaxial cable, stripping the jacket from a second section of the coaxial cable, and axially advancing a terminal end of the corrugated outer conductor beyond a terminal end of the insulating layer, resulting in an open section of the corrugated coaxial cable having an open space between the corrugated outer conductor and the inner conductor. A tool for accomplishing the foregoing is further provided, and includes first and second opposing jaws that engage the inner and outer conductors, respectively, such that operating the tool causes a terminal end of the outer conductor to axially advance toward the terminal end of the inner conductor.

Abstract

A port terminator includes an outer nut (201), which may be either electrically conductive or non - electrically conductive, and an electrically conductive ground insert. A portion of the ground insert captures a ground portion of a termination resistor (321), while a deformable portion (509) of the ground insert makes electrical contact with a connection end of an equipment port when the port terminator is screwed onto the equipment port. The deformable portion can take the form of a flexible brim or a plurality of petals. The petals preferably alternate between flat petals and biased petals. The ground insert permits the port terminator to make a uniform RF seal on an equipment port even with a range of tightening torques.

Abstract

A compression connector for smooth walled, corrugated, and spiral corrugated coaxial cable includes an insulator disposed within the body, wherein the insulator contains a central opening therein which is dimensioned smaller than a collet portion which seizes a center conductor of the coaxial cable. The connector also includes a clamp disposed inside the body as well as a compression sleeve assembly. An intermediate connector element includes a transitional surface which interacts with the clamp. When an axial force is applied to the compression sleeve, the clamp is forced by the transitional surface into the body, causing the clamp to squeeze onto an outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable. At approximately the same time, the collet portion is forced through the central opening of the insulator, causing the collet portion to squeeze onto the center conductor.

Abstract

A method for forming a conductive elastomer by applying or spray coating a conductive paste onto an elastomeric substrate using a reactive top coat to thin the conductive paste prior to spraying onto the substrate. The use of a reactive topcoat to thin the conductive paste avoids the need for hazardous volatile organic components as solvents to thin the conduct paste and improves the bonding of the conductive paste to the elastomeric substrate once the spray coating is cured.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cartridge lock registered jack and method of use thereof. The cartridge allows wires to be fed through and pulled tight around a retaining bar. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. Termination is made by moving the cartridge to a locked position, which then pushes the wires into the insulation displacement contacts that displace the wire insulation to make contact.

Abstract

An electrical cable connector comprising an electrically conductive central body, an outer sleeve rotatably coupled to the central body, and a tubular cam member disposed between the outer sleeve and the central body. When the outer sleeve is rotated around the central body from a first rotational position to a second rotational position, the tubular cam member is displaced from a first axial position to a second axial position, thereby causing a radial camming region in an axial through bore of the tubular cam member to displace fingers of the electrically conductive central body radially inwardly. In that manner, when the connector is plugged into a port or jack comprising a cylindrical body that is at least partially enclosed by the fingers of the central body of the connector, the fingers clamp onto the body of the port, thereby securing the connector to the port.

Abstract

A connector is provided with a seal integral with a seal base, and a coupling member supported on a connector body. The seal base can be separate from, integral with, or attached to the connector body. The seal extends from the seal base as a thin, elastically deformable ring around a circumference of the seal base, and presses against a surface of the coupling member to provide a seal between the connector body and coupling member.

Abstract

A fitting for securing a first fluid conduit to a second fluid conduit includes a coupling body and a die ring. The coupling body includes a first end and a second end defining an enclosed passage along a longitudinal axis therethrough. The first end of the coupling body includes a deformable compression sleeve having an outer diameter and an inner diameter defining a thickness. The die ring is disposed in surrounding relation to the compression sleeve, and includes an inner surface and engagement surface, wherein the engagement surface includes a diameter that is less than the outer diameter of the compression sleeve. When the first fluid conduit is inserted into the coupling body, the die ring engagement surface is adapted to compress the compression sleeve radially inward when the die ring is urged in an axial direction towards a second end of the coupling body. At least a portion of the compression sleeve flows between the inner surface of the die ring and an outer surface of the first fluid conduit. In one embodiment, the first fluid conduit is a hydraulic hose. In another embodiment, the first fluid conduit is cross-linked polyethylene tubing.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a condition responsive device for connection with a communication system. The device includes a receiver configured to receive a physical parameter status signal from a connector of the communication system, the physical parameter status signal containing data pertaining to a condition of the connector connection. The device further includes a processing circuit configured to analyze the data to determine whether a communications signal adjustment is appropriate, wherein the processing circuit is configured to initiate a communications signal adjustment in the communication system if the processing circuit determines that adjustment is appropriate, based on a predetermined set of parameters.
