The invention relates to a dynamic sealing element configured to establish a mobile and electrically conductive contact between a first member and a second member, at least one of which is mobile, a sealing system configured to transfer an electrical current, and a manufacturing method of the dynamic sealing element.

The dynamic sealing element (1) comprises: a sealing body (1a) comprising an electrically conductive polymer composite, at least on an outer surface thereof intended to face the at least one mobile member; an interlayer (3) comprising a first sublayer (31) of titanium and a second sublayer (32); and a coating layer (2) directly contacting the second sublayer (32), wherein the coating layer (2) is based on a titanium-doped diamond-like carbon having a fixed concentration of titanium atoms of between 5% and 50%, and wherein the second sublayer (32) is a gradient layer of titanium-doped diamond-like carbon having a varying concentration of titanium atoms decreasing across a thickness of the second sublayer (32).

An electrical connector includes a support bracket and a connection terminal. The connection terminal includes a terminal body mounted on the support bracket and in sliding electrical contact with a bus bar extending in a first plane, and a terminal connection portion protruding from a bottom of the terminal body in a first direction parallel to the first plane and electrically connected to a circuit board.

A device for connecting two conductive elements of a conductor rail is provided including a sliding contact surface, two connection tabs formed by one end of each of the two conductive elements, these connection tabs being arranged to be placed in respective parallel planes and offset with respect to the sliding contact surface of the rail, and a junction piece of the two connecting tabs having at least one contact surface placed level with the sliding contact surface of the conductors.

This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows. A smart window may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a window unit includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. A wire assembly may be attached to the edge of the insulated glass unit and may include wires in electrical communication with electrodes of the optically switchable pane. A floating connector may be attached to a distal end of the wire assembly. The floating connector may include a flange and a nose, with two holes in the flange for affixing the floating connector to a first frame. The nose may include a terminal face that present two exposed contacts of opposite polarity. Pre-wired spacers improve fabrication efficiency and seal integrity of insulated glass units. Electrical connection systems include those embedded in the secondary seal of the insulated glass unit.

Disclosed is a high-frequency-tuning sliding electrical contact. The contact includes a tuning ring which is composed of an inner elastic piece, an upper base, an outer elastic piece and a lower base. Pull rods are welded to an upper side face of the upper base, and upper ends of the pull rods are driven to move up and down by a motor, so that the tuning ring slides up and down between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve along the pull rods. The overall structure of the novel electrical contact is simple, compact and economical. The disclosure reduces joule heat produced by contact resistance and prevents contact surface fusion welding or conductive damage, and is especially suitable for tuning in a small gap range.

Disclosed is a linearly moveable sliding contact element having a transport device. Linearly moveable sliding contact elements of this type having a transport device are required to electrically contact conductor paths of circuit boards with one another, the circuit boards being oriented in parallel with one another and arranged above one another. In addition, the sliding contact element is arranged on a spindle of the transport device having an outer thread. Via a rotation of the transport device, the sliding contact element can be moved in a linear manner along the spindle by the outer thread. A first bearing and a second bearing are provided at the ends of the spindle. The bearings permit a mounting of the transport device between two circuit boards arranged in parallel with one another.

An electronics rack with integrated battery storage compartment for an uninterrupted power supply is disclosed. The battery storage compartment includes a compartment housing attached to the rack and a compartment drawer slidingly mounted within the compartment housing. The compartment drawer includes an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and one or more batteries for providing battery powered backup for electronics components mounted in the rack. The UPS includes one or more output power lines that connect to one or more outlets for supplying power to components mounted on the rack. The compartment drawer is mounted to the compartment housing through mating slide rails. The compartment drawer includes an access panel with a handle which permits a user to slide the compartment drawer out from the compartment housing.
