20100027264 | CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY WITH LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT - A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board including an electrical conductor, and a light emitting element assembly. The light emitting element assembly includes a carrier mounted on the circuit board, a light emitting element mounted on the carrier, and an electrical contact held by the carrier in electrical connection with the light emitting element and the electrical conductor. | 02-04-2010 |
20100128447 | MEMORY MODULE HAVING VOLTAGE REGULATOR MODULE - A memory module includes a circuit board having socket mating contacts at a socket interface and VRM contacts at a VRM interface. Memory devices are coupled to the circuit board. The memory devices are electrically connected to corresponding socket mating contacts and the memory devices are electrically connected to corresponding VRM contacts. A voltage regulator module is coupled to the circuit board at the VRM interface. The voltage regulator module is electrically connected to the VRM contacts. | 05-27-2010 |
20100227482 | MECHANICALLY SUPPORTED CONTACT AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR UTILIZING THE SAME - An electrical contact includes a conductor extending along a length between a tail and a tip. The conductor has a front mating interface configured to be engaged by a mating component such that the conductor is deflected rearwardly by the mating component. A mechanical support beam is disposed along a rear of the conductor and is configured to provide mechanical support for the conductor to resist rearward deflection of the conductor. Electrical conductivity of the conductor is greater than electrical conductivity of the mechanical support beam. Mechanical strength of the mechanical support beam is greater than mechanical strength of the conductor. Optionally, a flexible substrate may be provided between the conductor and the mechanical support beam, where the conductor has a length that extends along at least a portion of the length of the conductor. The flexible substrate may have first and second sides with the first side being secured to the conductor and the second side being secured to the mechanical support beam. | 09-09-2010 |
20100304603 | POWER PLATE FOR A SOCKET CONNECTOR - A socket connector includes a housing having a mating interface configured to mate with an electronic component and a mounting interface configured to mount to a circuit board. Signal contacts are held by the housing and extend between the mating interface and the mounting interface. Power contacts are held by the housing and extend between the mating interface and the mounting interface. The power contacts are configured to transmit power from the circuit board to the electronic component. Each of the power contacts have at least one commoning element. A metallic power plate is coupled to the commoning elements of a plurality of the power contacts to electrically common the power contacts to one another. | 12-02-2010 |
20110281445 | SOCKET CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH COMPRESSIVE CONTACTS - A socket connector assembly includes a housing, signal terminals, and a power module subassembly. The housing is mounted to a circuit board and includes opposing walls having internal surfaces. The signal terminals are joined to the internal surfaces of the walls and engage conductive members disposed along side edges of an electronic package that is received into the housing between the walls. The power module subassembly is coupled to the circuit board between the walls of the housing. The power module subassembly includes a power contact configured to engage a current carrying conductor disposed on a surface of the electronic package that extends between the side edges of the electronic package. | 11-17-2011 |

20110015006 | Baseball bat - A novel baseball or softball bat is disclosed. The bat has a handle of a heavy, strong wood such as hickory, to resist breakage, and a barrel of a lighter wood such as sapele, to facilitate a controlled and comfortable swing. Methods for making the bat are also disclosed. It may be formed of a plurality of wedge-shaped pieces of wood, and the two species of wood may be joined by interleaving these wedges over part of the bat's length. | 01-20-2011 |
20110015007 | BASEBALL BAT - A novel baseball or softball bat is disclosed. The bat has a handle of a heavy, strong wood such as hickory, to resist breakage, and a barrel of a lighter wood such as sapele, to facilitate a controlled and comfortable swing. Methods for making the bat are also disclosed. It may be formed of a plurality of wedge-shaped pieces of wood, and the two species of wood may be joined by interleaving these wedges over part of the bat's length. The interleaving may optionally be designed such that some amount of hickory extends all the way to the barrel end of the bat. | 01-20-2011 |
20110015008 | BASEBALL BAT - A novel baseball or softball bat is disclosed. The bat has a handle of a heavy, strong wood such as hickory, to resist breakage, and a barrel of a lighter wood such as sapele, to facilitate a controlled and comfortable swing. Methods for making the bat are also disclosed. It may be formed of a plurality of wedge-shaped pieces of wood, and the two species of wood may be joined by interleaving these wedges over part of the bat's length. The interleaving may optionally include a tongue and groove joint or a lap joint for increased strength, and some battens may optionally extend the entire length of the bat. | 01-20-2011 |
