A connection system for electrically and mechanically connecting a DSX jack to a jack assembly, the system including a male connector with a plurality of elongated conductors electrically connected to the jack or the jack assembly, a dielectric shroud around the elongated conductors, the shroud having slits adjacent each of the elongated conductors, and a female connector with a female dielectric edge connector with an internal cavity with guides therein, a plurality of tuning fork contacts seated within the guides in the internal cavity and electrically connected to the other of the jack or the jack assembly, the tuning fork contacts including two prongs with a conductor aperture between the two prongs, the conductor aperture corresponding to the elongated conductors of the male connector, and the tuning fork contacts positioned to slidably mate with corresponding ones of the plurality of elongated conductors in the male connector. The male connector slides into the female connector and electrical contact is thereby made between the tuning fork contacts and the corresponding elongated conductors in the male connector.

Disclosed is a fiber optic connector tray system for improved fiber optic cable management, especially in situations requiring higher fiber optic cable and connector density. Embodiments of the invention include tray bodies which are mounted to a framework and pivot or rotate to provide access to fiber optic connectors. The pivot or rotation further provides a mechanism to take up additional slack resulting from the pivoting.

A printer is disclosed and which includes a frame; a movable lifting member borne by the frame; a rotatable pressure drum borne by the frame; a rotatable fusing drum borne by the lifting member; a rotatable image drum borne by the frame and positioned in contact with the fusing drum; an articulation assembly pivotally borne by the frame and movable along a course of travel, the lifting arm engaging the articulation assembly, and wherein movement of the articulation assembly imparts movement to the lifting arm, the lifting arm carrying the fusing drum along a course of travel into, and out of, contact with pressure drum; and an image forming assembly borne by the frame oriented adjacent to the image drum.

Printer

A printer output paper collector 70 is described for refolding and stacking fanfold paper 20 that is discharged from a continuous form printer 12. The collector 70 includes a base 72 with opposing end walls 74 and 76 having guiding surfaces for receiving the fold lines or ends of the sheets and guiding the sheets downward to progressively form the restack. The collector 70 has a resilient support assembly 82 that includes a central pedestal 84 extending above the base 72 for supporting the restack above the base 72. A resilient plastic sheet member 102 is mounted on the pedestal 84 with cantilevered wing sections 108 and 110 extending from the pedestal 84 outward toward the end walls 74, 76 to resiliently support the restack adjacent the fold lines. As the height and weight of the restack increases, the additional weight causes the wing sections 108, 110 to deflect downward to maintain the top layer 62 of the restack substantially flat to facilitate the refolding of the sheets 26.

Three adjacent disks carried by an 'S' cam shaft of a truck brake system sense motion of system components beyond predetermined limits to indicate need for adjustment and parts replacement and annunciate such information at a distance from the brake system. A first outer disk journaled on the 'S' cam shaft is interconnected to the slack adjuster arm to rotate responsive to motion of the slack adjuster arm. A second medial disk journaled on the 'S' cam shaft is supported by external structure to remain stationary relative to that shaft. A third outer disk is irrotatably carried by the 'S' cam shaft to rotate with it. The second medial disk carries two Hall effect switches to sense the rotary position of magnets carried in the first and third adjacent outer disks to determine motion of the slack adjuster arm and the 'S' cam shaft beyond predetermined limits to indicate need for brake adjustment and brake shoe replacement. Sensed data is transmitted to an annunciator at a distance from the braking system. Separate sensing and annunciating systems are provided for each braking system of a truck-tractor and associated trailers.
