127 results about "Electrical termination" patented technology

In electronics, electrical termination is the practice of ending a transmission line with a device that matches the characteristic impedance of the line. This is intended to prevent signals from reflecting off the end of the transmission line. Reflections at the ends of unterminated transmission lines cause distortion which can produce ambiguous digital signal levels and mis-operation of digital systems. Reflections in analog signal systems cause such effects as video ghosting, or power loss in radio transmitter transmission lines.

Method of routing electrical current to bodily tissues via implanted passive conductors

The invention provides an implant, system and method for electrically stimulating a target tissue to either activate or block neural impulses. The implant provides a conductive pathway for a portion of electrical current flowing between surface electrodes positioned on the skin and transmits that current to the target tissue. The implant has a passive electrical conductor of sufficient length to extend from subcutaneous tissue located below a surface cathodic electrode to the target tissue. The conductor has a pick-up end which forms an electrical termination having a sufficient surface area to allow a sufficient portion of the electrical current to flow through the conductor, in preference to flowing through body tissue between the surface electrodes, such that the target tissue is stimulated to either activate or block neural impulses. The conductor also has a stimulating end which forms an electrical termination for delivering the current to the target body tissue.

Electrical terminal array with insulation displacement connectors and surge arrestors

The application describes an electrical terminal comprising a pair of longitudinally disposed contact members, each having a pair of insulation displacement connectors connectors, one at either end thereof, thereby to link two wire pairs, wherein. each contact member comprises a contact arm each extending in a defined direction, the contact arms leading to a pair of arrestor contacts spaced so as to accept a surge arrestor. The defined direction is preferably substantially transverse to the contact members. This enables the surge arrestor to be placed to one side of the electrical terminal, avoiding interference with ingoing and outgoing wires and avoiding inhibiting access to test points. The contact members are preferably parallel within the electrical terminal. The arrestor contacts are preferably spring contacts, thereby to enable replacement of the arrestor. The contact arms more preferably end at the spring contacts. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the contact arms are non-contiguous with the contact members but are joined thereto. This join can be by way of a lug extending from the edge of one of the two members and engaging within a slot of the other. This provides a particularly simple but effective electrical contact. The lug is preferably on the contact members, thereby placing the slot on the contact arms. This also avoids the need to bend a single-piece blank, thereby risking damage to or distribution of the IDC connector. The terminal will ideally be enclosed within a plastic housing, and this will preferably comprise a recess for receiving the surge arrestor, the arrestor contacts extending into the recess.
