A light fixture includes a fixture body, a support structure, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) a driver, a cover, and a connector. The fixture body includes a first raceway, a second raceway, and a channel. The second raceway is substantially parallel to the first raceway. The channel is coupled to the first raceway and the second raceway such that the channel is substantially orthogonal to the first raceway and the second raceway. The support structure is coupled to the first raceway and the second raceway. The plurality of LEDs is coupled to the support structure and spaced apart along a length of the support structure between the first raceway and the second raceway. The driver is positioned within the channel and electrically coupled to the plurality of LEDs. The cover is detachably coupled to the channel and extends from the first raceway to the second raceway.

Methods and systems for providing crosstalk compensation in a jack are disclosed. According to one method, the crosstalk compensation is adapted to compensate for undesired crosstalk generated at a capacitive coupling located at a plug inserted within the jack. The method includes positioning a first capacitive coupling a first time delay away from the capacitive coupling of the plug, the first capacitive coupling having a greater magnitude and an opposite polarity as compared to the capacitive coupling of the plug. The method also includes positioning a second capacitive coupling at a second time delay from the first capacitive coupling, the second time delay corresponding to an average time delay that optimizes near end crosstalk. The second capacitive coupling has generally the same overall magnitude but an opposite polarity as compared to the first capacitive coupling, and includes two capacitive elements spaced at different time delays from the first capacitive coupling.

A grounding member for maintaining a ground path in a cable connector includes, in one embodiment, an inner core configured to flex when a force is applied to the grounding member during operation of the connector. The grounding member further includes an outer conductive coating applied to the inner core. The outer conductive coating is configured to flex from a first state to a second state when a force is applied to the grounding member, so as to maintain a conductive path through the connector when the outer conductive coating flexes between the first and second states during operation of the connector.

An electromagnetic (EM) probe for monitoring one or more biological tissues. The EM probe comprises a cup shaped cavity having an opening and an interior volume, a circumferential flange formed substantially around the cup shaped cavity, in proximity to the opening, at least one layer of a material, for absorbing electromagnetic radiation, applied over at least one of a portion of the circumferential flange and a portion of the outer surface of the cup shaped cavity, and at least one EM radiation element which performs at least one of emitting and capturing EM radiation via the interior volume.

A method includes the steps: providing a pre-structure comprising a first pre-embedded member and a second pre-embedded member, wherein the first pre-embedded member has a first positioning segment, a connecting segment connected to the first positioning segment, a first piece, and a bridge; the second pre-embedded member has a second positioning segment, a hanging segment connected to the second positioning segment, and a second piece, wherein the bridge is connected to the connecting segment and the second piece; fixing the bridge onto the hanging segment; segmenting the connecting portion of the bridge and the connecting segment to form a first embedded member, which is defined by the first positioning segment, the connecting segment and the first piece, and a second embedded member, which is defined by the second positioning segment, the hanging segment, the second piece and the bridge; separating the second embedded member from the first embedded member.

A process of manufacturing an electrical wiring assembly includes the steps of cutting an elongate strip from a sheet of metal and cutting a mesial slit in an end of the uninsulated segment, thereby forming a pair of distal projections flanking the mesial slit. The mesial slit and the pair of distal projections form a forked split blade terminal.

The invention relates to a method for producing a socket contact consisting of a sleeve and a contact cage which are formed from a first and a second metal strip. In said method, at least one step for forming the sleeve and a step for forming the contact cage are carried out in a parallel shaping process.
