| 20100151707 | Electrical connector with separate contact mounting and compensation boards - An electrical connector includes a housing having a plug receiving cavity with an open end for receiving a plug and with an inner end spaced from the open end, and having a forward chamber outside of the cavity and adjacent the open end. A mounting circuit board is in the housing adjacent the inner end. A plurality of pairs of electrical jack contacts have mounting ends engaging the mounting circuit board, plug contacting portions extending through the cavity from the mounting end toward the open end, and free ends extending from the contacting portion into the forward chamber. A compensation circuit board is mounted in the forward chamber of the housing outside of the plug receiving cavity, and has a compensation circuit with conductive pads. The free ends of the jack contacts engage the conductive pads. A spring in the forward chamber biases the compensation circuit board towards the free ends of the jack contacts. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100151710 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONNECTOR PANEL WITH INTERPORT CROSSTALK ISOLATION - A multi-port telecommunications connector panel has an electrically conductive housing that defines a plurality of ports, each with a plug receiving cavity aligned with a respective set of jack contacts. The housing surrounds the sets of jack contacts individually and collectively to separate and isolate adjacent ports. Electrically conductive isolation barriers, which are electrically connected to and may be integral with the housing, separate adjacent sets of insulation displacement contacts, which are arranged in an offset pattern. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110131805 | Electrical connector with low-stress, reduced-electrical-length contacts - An electrical connector adapted to receive a mating plug utilizes low-profile jack terminal contacts that can flex in their PCB-anchored base portions, which are substantially parallel to the PCB. Any bend in the distal connecting portion or in the intermediate transition portion of each terminal contact is gradual and forms an obtuse angle, thus minimizing stress concentrations. The contacts preferably are arranged in two oppositely facing and interdigitating rows of four contacts each. In one embodiment, the terminal contacts are anchored to the PCB by a contact cradle that constrains the base portion of each terminal contact at two spaced anchoring locations, allowing the base portion to flex therebetween. In another embodiment, the base portions of the terminal contacts are embedded in at least one elastomeric member, which is fitted to the PCB. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080260125 | System and method of providing caller identification information - Systems and methods for providing caller identification information are provided. A method of providing caller identification information may include receiving caller identification information associated with a first communication device at a video processing device via a wireless communication. The method may also include selecting a first display profile associated with the first communication device from a plurality of display profiles. The method may also include generating a display in accordance with the first display profile. The display may include data related to the caller identification information. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100114730 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PURCHASING ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS - Provided are methods, apparatus and systems for the sale of digital content over a network. The disclosure herein discusses the recording of a broadcast of a digital data stream by a broadcast receiving device. A listener may select a particular digital data stream to purchase by selecting a content identifier associated with the digital data stream of interest at the recording device. Upon obtaining the selection, a purchase request message is transmitted to an intermediary communication device. The purchase request message includes at least the content identifier. After the transaction is completed at a transaction server, a purchase confirmation message including at least a digital rights management key associated with the digital data stream is returned to and received by the broadcast receiving device. Upon receipt, of the digital rights management key, the recorded digital data stream is released for reproduction. | 05-06-2010 |
