20070026742 - Utp cable for transmitting high frequency signal: A UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable having an electromagnetic wave shielding function is configured to allow transmission of over 10 Gbps level without align cross talk with an adjacent cable when using 500 to 700 MHz band. This UTP cable includes at least one wire pair in which two insulation-coated... Agent: Jones Day

20070026743 - Electrical connector stress relief at substrate interface: An electrical connector includes a wafer having flexible members that allow the wafer to expand or contract in response to movement of solder pads on a PCB. As a PCB to which a connector is attached is heated during, for example, normal use, it may expand, which may result in... Agent: Woodcock Washburn, LLP

20070026744 - Insert-molded product: A ground wire connection nut (14A) and a cover-fixing nut (14B) are molded in a case (12) at positions shifted in an axial direction thereof. Caps (17) are mounted on each nut (14A, 14B). First and second receiving surfaces (33A, 33B) are formed on each cap (17) at positions shifted... Agent: Casella & Hespos

20070026745 - Easy off low voltage mounting: A connector is attachable to an extending transformer stud. The connector includes a single hole or bore within the body of a connector to accept threaded transformer studs of different thread sizes. The connector can accommodate different size studs while still providing a compact design. The connector provides increased physical... Agent: Hoffman & Baron, LLP

20070026746 - Assembly for simultaneously testing multiple electronic components: An assembly for simultaneously electrically testing a plurality of electronic components. There is a test fixture, and a lead frame carrying a plurality of electronic components to be tested, each such electronic component having multiple electrical leads. A layer of Anisotropic Conductive Elastomer (ACE) is in contact with the test... Agent: Mirick, O'connell, Demallie & Lougee
