Additionally, each signal path through the mating interface portions of the connectors can be narrow and has a relatively uniform cross section to provide a uniform impedance. Additional size reduction may be achieved by mounting a ground contact on an exterior surface of a connector housing in alternating rows. Additionally, embodiments in which a wavy contact is used in a cantilevered configuration are also described. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20120039479 | METHOD TO SIMULATE VEHICLE HORN SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL - Methods and system for predicting sound pressure and/or sound pressure level caused by a vehicle horn are provided. An acoustic model of the horn is generated through the use of inverse numerical acoustics and boundary element methods. Additionally, an acoustic model of the vehicle is generated using boundary element methods. By combining these acoustic models and using the acoustic model of the horn as input into the acoustic model of the vehicle, sound pressure and/or sound pressure level at points within the acoustic domain encompassing the acoustic models can be predicted using boundary elements methods. | 02-16-2012 |
