20100210131 | LATCHING CONNECTOR - A plug connector for use with electronic devices provides a latching member that engages a mating hole in a guide frame with a hook, and which can be easily delatched from the guide frame or opposing connector or housing. The hook locks the plug connector into engagement with the guide frame or housing, but is readily released by actuation of an actuator (e.g., a pulling member), which causes the latching member to translate in a vertical direction so that the hooks are lifted upward and disengaged from the guide frame or housing. | 08-19-2010 |
20120208391 | LOW PROFILE LATCHING CONNECTOR - A small, low-profile plug connector for use with electronic devices provides a latching member with a pair of hooks that engage mating holes in a guide frame, and which can be easily delatched from the guide frame or opposing connector or housing. The hooks lock the plug connector into engagement with the frame or housing, but are readily released by way of a simple ramp and lobe mechanism in the plug connector. The ramp and lobe mechanism converts horizontal movement of a pull tab-like actuator into vertical movement of a latching member such that the hooks are lifted upward and disengaged from the guide frame or housing. | 08-16-2012 |

20150211483 | Wind Turbine and Tower System - The disclosed wind turbine utilizes adjustable blades, forcing wind into channels away from the rotational axis. These channels direct wind to conversion surfaces a desirable distance from the rotational axis of the turbine, producing more torque. The channels feature independent exhaust points and intake points, minimizing vortices within the blades that can reduce torque. The blades of the disclosed turbine overlap, creating a larger constant percentage of air flow into the turbine channel. A modular tower for mounting a wind turbine is also disclosed. Finally, a wind directional amplifier for use with a wind turbine is disclosed. The wind directional amplifier directs the flow of wind to the optimum location for capture surfaces. When used with multiple wind turbines, the wind directional amplifier may be used to focus more or less air flow to one or more turbines, thereby selectively controlling the output of all the turbines collectively. | 07-30-2015 |
