The method includes the port controller attempting to detect an abnormal state in which a leakage current occurs in the USB receptacle using at least one pin of the USB receptacle; and when the abnormal state is detected, the port controller turning OFF a switch connected between a power pin of the USB receptacle and an internal circuit of the device, and determining to enter an unattached state of being separated from the counterpart device. | 2020-02-20 |
20200059048 | RECHARGEABLE USB ELECTRICAL OUTLET WITH INTEGRATED LIGHTING - An electrical outlet device and system for providing light and power during the night or during a power failure. The device and system includes rechargeable energy storage devices that can be utilized to provide power to the outlet(s) and the light sources. The device and system can have two sections, a main and a removable section both having their own energy storage devices and light sources. The light sources can be controlled by a control circuit that can utilize one or more switches or sensors to control the activation or deactivation of the light sources and also the transfer of energy from the energy storage devices to the light sources or outlets of the main section. The main section can also have USB and electrical outlets or plugs to allow the device and system to be plugged into an AC or DC power source, and can transfer that energy to the USB and electrical outlets or plugs. | 2020-02-20 |
20200059049 | Connection Interface For A Panel And Support Structure - A connection interface between a panel and a support structure. The panel includes one or more connectors. The support structure supports the panel and is configured to engage with the one or more connectors. The connection interface between the panel and the support structure provides a mechanical connection to secure the panel. The connection interface can also provide for electrical connections between the panel and the support structure and/or between the panel and one or more other panels or remote components. | 2020-02-20 |
20200059050 | QUICK CONNECT/DISCONNECT COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR - A quick connect and release mechanism is provided for a coaxial cable connector comprising a first connector body having an annular cavity accessible by a tubular opening. A conical retention ring is disposed in the annular cavity and engaging at least one radial step form along a rearwardly facing surface of the annular cavity and, furthermore, being configured to engage a retention surface of a second connector body upon insertion of a tubular sleeve thereof. Furthermore, a retention ring engager is disposed over a portion of the first connector body and has a sleeve portion extending into the tubular opening to urge the retention ring from engagement with the at least one radial step while also disengaging the retention surface of the second connector. As a consequence, the second connector is released from the first connector. | 2020-02-20 |
20200059051 | COMPACT HIGH SPEED CONNECTOR - A connector system includes a plug assembly that has a front connector mounted to a circuit board. The connecter has two wafers that each support a row of terminals and uses shims and pegs to precisely control the spatial relationship of the two wafers to the circuit board. The wafers need not be directly contacting the circuit board and the terminals can have tails that can be positioned slightly above the circuit board and connector to pads on the circuit board via solder connections. The connector system is optimized so as to enable support of 25 Gbps data rates. | 2020-02-20 |
