COMMUNICATION JACK HAVING A DIELECTRIC FILM BETWEEN PLUG INTERFACE CONTACTS
Embodiments of the present invention relate to designs for network jacks which can be used for cable connectivity. In an embodiment, the present invention is an RJ45 jack that utilizes a thin dielectric film between two layers of PICs that provide crosstalk compensation by way of their geometry.

Detecting and monitoring voltage for power quality or safety applications requires isolation between the primary voltage and the voltage detection circuitry. This isolation is required for two purposes: a) To protect the detection circuitry (powered by a source independent of the primary line voltage at less than 50V, and considered non-hazardous), and b) To prevent any possibility of the primary line voltage (typically greater than 50V) from reaching personnel. There are a variety of isolation methods that one can employ for this that include optical, thermal, magnetic field and electric field techniques. This record sketch describes these various techniques and also describes methods to validate the subsequent result generated from each isolation technique to ensure that the result and any subsequent indication is accurate.

A wire harness assembly system (50) is disclosed. The wire harness assembly system (50) includes a at least one grid tile (60) designed to receive repositionable accessories (110, 150; 110, 160) to route wires along the grid tile (60). The at least one grid tile (60) includes a plurality of keyed holes (70) extending from the top (62) of the grid tile, through the grid tile, to the bottom (64) of the grid tile. The at least one grid tile (60) also includes a locking surface on the bottom (64) of the grid tile. The locking surface complements the plurality of keyed holes (70) to receive the repositionable accessory (110, 150; 110, 160) and to maintain the repositionable accessory in a locked position.
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to the field of telecommunication, and more specifically to the connectivity components implemented therein. In an embodiment, the present invention is an RJ45-compatible network jack (34) which includes a front sled PCB assembly incorporating short PICs, a compensation printed circuit board, and a spring loaded movement designed to provide a portion of the total displacement necessary to accommodate plug travel of a mated plug (36). The PICs are capable of displacement which is designed to be adequate to provide reliable contact while mating with a plug.

The present invention is directed toward a terminal marker (240) used to identify a terminal block (220). The terminal marker (240) includes a front having a print surface, a back, sides, and flexible legs. The flexible legs can be positioned in a natural state for installation in the terminal block (220) or a compressed state for obtaining a marking from a printer. In the natural state, the flexible legs extend at an angle with respect to the print surface of the terminal marker (240). In the compressed state, the flexible legs extend outward beyond of the sides of the terminal marker (240).

A SYSTEM FOR THE VERIFICATION OF THE ABSENCE OF VOLTAGE
A system for the verification of the absence of voltage includes a first impedance, an amplitude limiter electrically connected to the first impedance, a second impedance electrically connected to the first impedance and the amplitude limiter, a varactor circuit electrically connected to the second impedance, an isolation capacitor electrically connected to the second impedance and varactor circuit, an envelope circuit with a voltage detection circuit connected to the isolation circuit via a buffer, and an RF oscillator. The amplitude limiter configured to limit the voltage applied to the varactor circuit. The RF oscillator configured to interact with the varactor circuit in order to create a modulated circuit for the buffer and envelope circuit. The envelope circuit is configured to demodulate the signal for the voltage detection circuit.
