You Spin Me Round
Here's a neat browser toy where you can play with gravitation interaction and make planetary orbits...or horribly destabilize them.
Space without the space
The solar system's solid surfaces stitched together. If you want some more detailed imagery, you can always browse around NASA's planetary photojournal archive.
Make your own solar system
The Kepler mission has changed the way we think about extrasolar planets and their abundance. It turns out that nature produces a bewildering variety of planetary systems, each in their own infinite majesty. But maybe, just maybe, you can do better? [more inside]
the time is venus square saturn
Van Cleef & Arpels, purveyors of super fine jewelry, have created the Midnight Planetarium, which holds part of the solar system on your wrist:
This new Poetic Complication timepiece provides a miniature representation of the movement of six planets around the sun and their position at any given time. Earth and Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are set in motion thanks to a self-winding mechanical movement of great complexity: equipped with an exclusive module developed in partnership with the Maison Christiaan van der Klaauw, it contains 396 separate parts. The movement of each planet is true to its genuine length of orbit: it will take Saturn over 29 years to make a complete circuit of the dial, while Jupiter will take almost 12 years, Mars 687 days, Earth 365 days, Venus 224 days and Mercury 88 days.[more inside]
Red Planet Blues
They get progressively less human the further they are from the Sun
"I've always loved space and the planets. I've seen a few 'human planets' sets done by other artists and most of them are pretty literal in the human department. I wanted to try making something more androgynous and godlike." [more inside]
Planet Rise
What would the night sky look like if the other planets were as close as the moon?
"We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands."
Kosmos allows you to explore a virtual, computer-generated 3-d universe from your browser. Background, screen shots and hardware requirements. (Requires WebGL and a little time to load on slower computers.) [more inside]
Upcoming Sky Show
Triple conjunction. The long-awaited sunset sky show of May 2013 is beginning. In only a few days, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury will form a tight triangle in the western sky, visible to the unaided eye around the world.
Exoplanet Hunter
"It was one of those things that was a gift to humanity... We're all going to lose for sure." Kepler's career is over, but not before answering one of mankind's most profound questions.
Mars Eats Probes
Rusty Fire Hydrant Planets
Venus to transit sun in June
There's a little black spot on the sun today.... Venus transits the sun in June - it's a once-in-a-lifetime event for most of us. (Bonus song lyric links here and youtube here)
A circus parade passing through a cemetery
Described as a circus parade passing through a cemetery, One Ring Zero is a musical group known for its use of unusual instruments, and musical collaborations with typically non-musical people and concepts. As Smart As We Are is an album of music by ORZ, with lyrics supplied by well-known fiction writers (tracklist after the fold). More recently, One Ring Zero teamed with 'celebrity' chefs for the Recipe Project (previously), setting their favorite recipes (word for word) to music. Planets, their newest album, is "an album of new compositions to capture the splendor and complexity of our celestial neighbors." [more inside]

OMG SPACE aims to illustrate the scale and the grandeur of our solar system, as well as illustrate through the use of infographics our work in the exploration of our solar system with various spacecraft. [more inside]
March Madness!
Take a tour of the solar system! Tonight, see the wonders of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn! There's only one catch: You'll need to actually step outside to do it. [more inside]
"A situation in many respects similar to ours"
For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was erroneously believed that there were canals on Mars.

The tiniest star system
Astronomers using data from NASA's Kepler mission have discovered the three smallest planets yet detected orbiting a star beyond our sun. The planets orbit a single star, called KOI-961, and are 0.78, 0.73 and 0.57 times the radius of Earth. The smallest is about the size of Mars.
Other earths, circling different suns
The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog is a database of the planets outside our solar system which are considered the most suitable for life according to certain steps and metrics. So far 16 have been identified as possible candidates. This Guardian article is a good introduction. You can also just dive into the catalogue, which ranks planets on two main scales, similarity to Earth and surface habitability (note that all images are computer renderings). The catalog is a project of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo (home to the world's largest radiotelescope).

Gordan Ugarković
Croatian software developer and amateur image processor Gordan Ugarković takes images from NASA's unmanned space probes released to the Planetary Data System, splices them together and tweaks the colors, sometimes combining higher resolution black and white images with color images, sometimes recreating what the object would look like in natural color (ie, in visible wavelengths, from images taken in multiple wavelengths), sometimes heightening the contrast to bring out detail.

Now, witness the power of this fully-armed and operational battle station
The discovery indicates there are many more free-floating Jupiter-mass planets that can't be seen. The team estimates there are about twice as many of them as stars. In addition, these worlds are thought to be at least as common as planets that orbit stars. This would add up to hundreds of billions of lone planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone.
Dude, where's my planet?
Where's Tyche, the 10th 9th planet? Getting the full story. John Matese and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette recently made the news when they announced the possible discovery of a gas giant planet they named Tyche in the Oort Cloud, at the extreme edge of the Solar System (previously). Now ars electronica breaks down the evidence behind the announcement, what can be done to confirm or disprove its existence & how long it could take.
with depravity / i break lots of gravity
Our solar system may have a ninth planet -- or a tenth, if you're a Pluto sentimentalist. Tyche, which astronomers suspect lurks in the Oort cloud, fifteen thousand times farther away from the sun than the Earth, is thought to be a gas giant four times the size of Jupiter. We may know for sure in April.
Make your own astronomical calendar
Several months ago, Bill Rankin of Radical Cartography (previously and previouslier) created an astronomical calendar of events for New Haven, Connecticut, where he lives, featuring all of the inexorable rhythms of the Solar System in one handy PNG file. Now you can create such a calendar for any location on the planet, with information as basic as the hours of daylight or as esoteric as the tilt of Saturn's rings, all lovingly rendered in soothing translucent pastels.

1000 worlds
NASAs Kepler mission has discovered over 1,100 extrasolar planet candidates. Including, "68 Earth-sized, 288 super-Earth-sized, 662 Neptune-sized, and 165 Jupiter-sized planets". 54 are found in their star's habitable zone, with five of those considered "near-Earth sized" [more inside]

"A novel metric of habitability"
Amid news of new extrasolar planet discoveries, including a system with a possible 7 planets, Greg Laughlin and Sam Arbesman have released a paper that will be published next month in the open-access journal PLoS One. "A Scientometric Prediction of the Discovery of the First Potentially Habitable Planet with a Mass Similar to Earth" (pdf of full paper) boldly predicts that: "the first potentially habitable planet will be discovered, in this case, as early as May 2011, and likely by the end of 2013." NASA's Kepler mission is set to release data on hundreds of candidate planets early next year. The mission has discovered 7 so far. (Pre-vio-usly)

That's Science!
People have been upset about Pluto's demotion for some time now. (While classical music fans have just had a love/hate relationship with this whole process.) But astronomical hate mail has never been as cute as the missives Neil deGrasse Tyson has received over the years from tots upset at poor Pluto's ouster.

Did that star just blink?
Tonight NASA is scheduled to launch the Kepler Mission (named after planetary legislator Johannes Kepler) with the goal of finding Earth size planets in orbit around stars in the Cygnus-Lyra region of the sky. Over the next 3 and a half years it will maintain a nearly unblinking gaze on the approximately 100 thousand stars in the region. NASA expects it to find about 50 Earth size planets, as well as hundreds that are larger. You can watch the launch live on NASA TV. [more inside]

Stars In Your Eyes
See Saturn this Saturday April 12 is the second annual International Sidewalk Astronomy Night, a worldwide event coordinated by the Sidewalk Astronomers. The group, founded in 1968 by John Dobson (subject of this documentary), is dedicated to a sort of guerrilla astronomy -- experienced stargeeks bringing their really good telescopes out to places where people are. So even on your way to the bars, the shows, and the honky-tonk you can see stuff like this and this - like these people did.
AKA The Creature, 1985
Titan find - The hydrocarbon lakes on Saturn's moon may contain hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all of Earths known oil and natural gas reserves.
Mission to Mercury
Mercury Messenger, a NASA probe, just performed a fly-by of Mercury at a height of 200 kilometers. It's the first spacecraft to visit Mercury since 1975.
Hot space bot uses stirling engine
NASA proposes using a Stirling cooler (essentially a Stirling engine in reverse) to keep a probe cool on the surface of Venus, which has had a tendency to melt or smash previous probes. The cooler would maintain a 25cm sphere within the probe at 200°C -- 100°C above the boiling point of water but sufficiently cool for a high-temperature microcontroller to operate. The waste heat radiators on the exterior of the sphere would reach the temperature of 500°C, 40°C above the the normal Venusian surface temperature.

Bearded Drag Queen Wins The Eurovision Song Contest
According to the Associated Press, Conchita Wurst, a bearded drag queen from Austria, won the 59th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Wurst made a James Bond inspired entrance and sang the power ballad Rise Like a Phoenix. Her performance caused protests because of the way she pushed the gender boundries; however, she still managed to win the competition with 290 points.
She stated, "This is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom."
Click here to read the full article.
Wurst is the alter-ego of Thomas Neuwirth, a 25 year old. Wurst helped Austira secure their second victory in the Eurovision Song Contest. Austria's first win was back in 1966.
When asked how she thinks Putin, who just introduced a law prohibiting gay propaganda in Russia, would respond to her win, she declared, "I don't know if he is watching this now, but if so, I'll say it: 'We're unstoppable.'"

Stretching is a key component to an effective workout. Muscles are prone to tightening—especially as we get older, and the proper warm-up can prevent this from happening. Stretching not only reduces muscle tension, it increases the range of movement in your joints and improves circulation to different parts of the body, ultimately giving you more energy for a better workout. Whether you are a runner or a swimmer (or maybe even both) stretching is a crucial part of your workout routine. Depending on the types of exercises you plan on doing, some stretches are better for your body than others. Visit WomansDay.com every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon to discover essential stretches based on the type of workout. This week we will focus on jogging and the important stretching techniques for the exercise. Today we are going to continue focusing on the calve muscles since they are the key muscles in jogging. Watch as expert Alice J. Monsaert shows us how to stretch out those muscles before you hit the trail.

Waiting For You--Ch. 1 Delena"Right here, below the ribcage, next to the spine; That's your way to a vampire's heart..." Damon's voice came to her ear in a low, sturdy purr with his hand pressing against the bare skin from the opening in her shirt. His hand stayed for only a moment, and she didn't have trouble admitting that she felt like she was being deprived of a wonderful thing. Before she had time to protest, his hand left her side, and his voice picked up again, closer, slower. "I'll do whatever it is you need me to do, Elena," his lips barely brushed past her ear and the back of her head, but she felt everything.
Elena's lips parted and a shaken sigh escaped her mouth as she turned to look at him. "No one's going to hurt you," he meant the words that were coming from his mouth. He would make sure that no one would ever bring harm to Elena. She just wished that she could say the things that have been on her mind for awhile now. Elena felt herself drawing nearer

Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. My friend basically created her own new dish and they were so kind to accomodate her tastes. We were very pleased! Prices are a little steep, but well worth it!

Best Italianby harbka on 09/07/2009
We stumbled upon this in the corner of The Strand @ Huebner and we are SO glad we did. The polenta with a lemon butter sauce and mushrooms was delicious. The outside patio with the fire is awesome on evenings when it does get a little cooler. The atmosphere, inside and out, is great. \r I was surprised to feel like I wasn't in a shopping center restaurant when I was outside. It's hidden and very nice.
Magnificent!by wannear on 07/08/2009
Romantic atmosphere, top-notch service, great drinks and amazing food. Five Star quality! You really wouldn't expect a restaurant of this caliber to be in the middle of a shopping center. Such an excellent find!

Comment: Public or Papal duty?
Post your comment

This is all Blair's work. Ruth is the 'fall gal' there to take the rap. Blair appointed Ruth intending this to happen and block equality for gays.
In the news is a case about a boy that was murdered on grounds of a sexual motive. I bet Ruth Kelly new this would happen today and is using it to discrimenate because an attack on her would be seen as very poor taste and would give the religious groups ammunition to attack the gay community.The phrase "A good day to bury bad news" comes to mind.The gay community needs to learn how politicians do this so that we can attack back!
Congratulations on an extremely perceptive article.This is what secular organisations – gay and straight like the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association and the National Secular Society – have been arguing for years, but unfortunately no one takes much heed of our warnings.George BroadheadGALHAwww.galha.org
What if Ruth Kelly did indeed plan that this day to be a good day to bury bad news, hoping that the case would be a long drawn out murder trial?I think Ruth Kelly sould be investergated by the Police on grounds of homophobia?The murder may not of happend if Roman Catholic schools were not so homophobic. The offender was homophobicly bullied!
When Kelly was appointed I thought "what the hell was Blair thinking?"…now I wonder if he knew what he was doing and he agrees with her!!
"she was absent from the third reading of the Adoption and Children Bill (Programme), to allow gay couples to adopt, as she was on further votes on the same subject on 16th May 2002, 20th May 200″On May 20th she was present to vote for an amendment that would have allowed heterosexual unmarried couple to adopt, but that would have excluded gay couples
Why are you persecuting her? She has a right to her religous beliefs. Freedom of conscience and dissent have not been outlawed in this country, either for house wife or Minister. As long as she is not breaking any law. No Minister can unilaterally block a law. Don't balme her for the delays. All views must be accomodated, and you cannot legislate on morals!
Wow. This is the most bigoted, biased, neurotic, ignorant article I've read on this issue. What a bunch of anti-Catholic claptrap.So long as you remain almost preternaturally ignorant of anything and everything to do with Catholic belief, praxis, polity and life, as well as rudimentary theological ethics, all your specious arguments {sic}against it is like so much straw. And your understanding of the 'separation' of church from political life– I mean, it's risible. Before you publish another word, for pete's sake, can someone get some education??
Ruth Kelly in charge of equality?a bit like putting a child sex attacker in charge of a creche,this 'thing,' has defended catholic abuse scandals and now moralises about equality issues… new labour…new monsters more like
Labour leadership contender John McDonnell criticized her on his blog too.
What do they teach them at Catholic schools for them to come away with attitudes like this?
Michael Cashman has changed his mind since this –
Dear Pink News I posted the link for the petition. Nice to see your the story.
Well,MsKelly has as bad a voting record on gay rights as our forthcomng Prime Minister Gordon Brown.I think her appointment may well have stemmed from Brown's attitudes as much as Blair's and forshadows what we can expect from Brown's Government.One can only hope that the EU will prevent the Catholic and Anglican lobby from beginning moves to repeal gay rights legislation.Anything is possible.As a practising Anglican I am appalled at Williams and Sentamu chiming in with O'Connor.After all 50 years ago who would have conceived of a black in York Minster.Personally I hope that the Catholics are put in their place:perhaps we can hope for separation of church and state such as they have in France – a Catholic country that would not tolerate the interference of prelates in this way for a moment.
Click here to see what Mr Phillips has said:
We know of a same-sex couple who have had a Civil Partnership together, have adopted and being Christian may be stopped from entering their church because of an exemption already made in the Sexual Orientation Regulations. We find that the religious homophobes have created a witchhunt of gay people with their continuing outbursts of bigotry whilst stating at the same time that 'they love us all'. 'Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward all Man' seems to have taken a back seat in their religious intolerance. We live in a Secular country and the Government should reinforce diversity and freedoms for all its peoples. We both believe that Ruth Kelly should resign.
Well good idea disriminate against GAYS , I will start to discriminate agains Religions . who needs religions of HATE
I am Glad that my Petition has caused such a positive response here. I never thought it would get 100 signatures, let alone the 5000 it currently has.Hopefully my Petition will be taken seriously and that Blair takes notice and sacks Kelly.

PIECE OF CAKE cause bishop is giving check if queen gives check
hmmm... too easy! but good one. :)
simplest K!!!!!
Pretty easy, but really nice pawn pin with White's bishop. Great!
Way too easy
I'm just a beginner and sometimes I need a lot of time to see real solution, but I hope that my skills will improve over time
Yes, shockingly obvious !
This is one from Tactics Trainer with a not very obvious first move ...
White to move & mate in 3
Neat puzzle,I tried checking with N first,try again,saced R only because you said it was a wierd first move,bingo,now you can check with N,and mate with B,black K only had 2 places to move with white R on b1.Thank's for bonus puzzle, I did not understand the other puzzle that started with no move's being made,do you realize how many move's there are from start that can be made,and it end's in the middle of the game,don't get it!!!
I don't know what was shocking about this one. I was expecting something dramatic like sparks flying out of my computer or a lightning strike as soon as I touched the Queen.
very very easy!
pinned pawn..mate in 2

What Is Dead Can Never DieAU zombie apocalypse fic with Victarion. I dreamed I was him in this so I had to write it.
No spoilers.
They came in waves and it seemed to Victarion they'd never run out. He clung to his shotgun and only stopped to reload sometimes. His companions did the same and none of them spoke. No one had enough breath to speak.
How many hours had it been since they stood here, leaning against a wall and shooting like a robot? Victarion had lost count.
And then they run out of ammunition.
He grabbed an axe and began to hack at the dead. He knew this was the end. They reached them now, and soon he had half a dozen bites. He knew he'd turn into one of them in a few hours, and he was never this tired before, but he kept fighting till the waves finally stopped for a while.
"Get in! Quickly!" Inside the house - an old abandoned hall - there were women and children, and a few exhausted warriors. How long would the doors keep them safe from the dead?
As he collapsed, too tired to stand, a doctor came t
Dreams of a King, Dreams of a KnightSTANNIS
His knight's very presence made him feel more calm and soothed his anger. Davos was not handsome or gallant, but he had always been simple, honest and respectful. And respect was something Stannis desired above all. He never got it from his brothers. Their lack of love had also made him suffer, although he kept saying to himself he didn't care, but it hurt even more how Robert liked to mock him and humiliate him for no reason. He had always been obedient as a younger brother ought to be, and although he didn't like Robert's lifestyle, he tried not to criticize him often - and not when others could hear it. When he was a boy, Robert had been his hero, much as he had been little Renly's hero, long after Stannis was old enough to see his flaws.
And he didn't like to think about Renly. No matter how many times he told himself he didn't kill him, he never dared to ask Melisandre just how she did it. He knew, deep down, that he had a part in it, however unwillingly, and he felt guilt

White House Allocates $146 Billion for R&D
President Obama has announced his Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Budget. The Budget details the President's spending plan for implementing the agenda he laid out in his State of the Union address to invest in America's future.
This plan involves robust investments in research and development (R&D) to drive science, technology, and innovation that will serve all Americans. Such investments help create jobs; improve human health; enhance access to clean energy, water, and food; address global climate change; manage competing demands on environmental resources; and ensure the security of the Nation. Federal government funding for R&D is essential to address pressing needs in these and other crucial areas.

Stagnant US Funding for Energy R&D "a Major Failure"
Energy technology innovation is critical for expanding U.S. economic growth, enhancing energy security, and protecting our environment. However, critical federal investments in energy innovation have remained unchanged since 2010, as detailed by the American Energy Innovation Council (AEIC) in its third report, Restoring American Energy Innovation Leadership: Report Card, Challenges, and Opportunities, released today. The report finds that Congress and the Administration have a mixed record on implementing AEIC recommendations to promote energy innovation and urges greater federal investments critical to achieving the country's economic, security, and environmental goals.

Thompson's "Social Enterprise Laboratory" in the Spotlight
Aris Institute member Dr Lindsay Thompson, a business ethicist, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University's Carey School of Business, and research associate of the ArMel Center for Technology and Public Policy, is the subject of a recent profile in Johns Hopkins Magazine, which features scholars doing leading-edge work in research or professional leadership.
The article takes special note of Dr Thompson's CityLab initiative, which partners students with economic and community development projects seeking to make neighborhoods and cities more livable and people-oriented. "It's really easy to come up with an idea," Dr Thompson says. "But how do you turn that idea into an investment-worthy deal?" CityLab strives to give business students firsthand experience in how that happens.

Bass guitarist with Booker T & the MGs, the band at the heart of the Stax soul sound...The soul music created at Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, was an indelible part of the soundtrack of the 1960s. The magisterial and hypnotic bass-guitar lines on hits by Booker T & the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes and many others were created by Donald "Duck" Dunn, who has died aged 70. Dunn died in his sleep at a hotel in Tokyo, where he was on tour with the MGs guitarist Steve Cropper. Dunn and Cropper also immortalised the Stax sound on screen, as members of the Blues Brothers band in the 1980 hit film starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/374,637, filed Feb. 25, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,761,594; which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/835,067, filed Apr. 13, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,533,616; which applications are herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to telecommunications connectors. More specifically the present invention relates to connectors mounted in jack modules or equipment panels.
Telecommunications equipment typically includes large numbers of cables connected to equipment panels or modules mounted in chassis systems. In order to make the most efficient use of available space, equipment panels have increasingly become more densely populated with connectors for securing cables thereto, and cable connector modules have become increasingly smaller to fit more connector locations within one chassis.
One factor which limits the density of connectors in telecommunication equipment is the outside dimension of mating connectors on the ends of the cables which must be connected to the connectors in equipment panels or modules. If the connectors in the panel or module are spaced too closely together, it becomes difficult to fit the mating connectors side-by-side over the panel connectors. To avoid this problem, prior systems have employed staggered connector panels or have designed two different connector modules with different arrangements of the connectors so that when the two different modules are placed next to each other in an alternating arrangement, a staggered pattern of connectors is achieved. This method, however, requires the manufacturer to make two different modules, and requires the user to purchase two different modules. There is a need for a simple, efficient means to densely populate connector panels or modules with connectors, yet still allow sufficient space for accessing the connector during cable installation and for receiving densely spaced mating connectors.
One aspect of the present invention relates to a connector assembly having a planar surface which defines a connector window lying in a first plane. The assembly includes a connector received in the connector window. The connector is slidable between first and second positions within the connector window parallel to the first plane.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a carriage which receives the connector. The carriage is slidable with the connector between first and second positions relative to the connector housing. The carriage may include means for retaining the carriage in a selected position. The means for retaining the carriage may include depressible tabs or other elements having edges to oppose the connector housing. The carriage may also include guiderails to be received in guide-slots of the connector housing to guide the carriage between first and second positions.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a carriage assembly including two opposed carriage members defining recesses. The carriage members include means for joining the carriage members in a mating arrangement, thereby trapping a plurality of connectors between the carriage members in the recesses. The connectors may include collars for preventing axial movement of the connectors relative to the carriage. The carriage may also include a depressible tab.
An additional aspect of the present invention relates to a connector assembly having first and second opposed panels. The first opposed panel includes a plurality of ports, and the second panel includes a plurality of slidable connectors which are electrically connected to the ports. The ports may include cross-connect ports, monitoring ports, and access ports. The circuit connecting the ports and the connectors may be a switching circuit.
A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method for arranging a plurality of connectors into a staggered arrangement including the steps of placing two connector housings having slidable connectors adjacent one another, and sliding one connector into a different position. The connector could be slid before the modules are placed adjacent each other.
The present invention relates to jack modules or other telecommunications equipment which include connectors which may be selectively positioned between at least first and second positions by sliding the connectors within a connector housing. Referring now to
Each module 100 includes a connector housing 105 having a rear surface 110. Module 100 includes two connectors 120 and 122. Connectors 120 and 122 are received in carriage 130. Connectors 120 and 122 along with carriage 130 slide within the connector housing 105 between first and second positions. Connectors 120 and 122 are shown in first positions. Connectors 120′ and 122′ are shown in second positions. By alternating the positions of adjacent connectors a staggered pattern can be achieved as shown in
Referring now to
Side surfaces 114 and 116 both define guide-slots 160 and 162. The guide-slots are characterized by a length which lies parallel to the direction the connectors 120 and 122 slide when transitioning between the first position and the second position.
Referring now to
As shown in
Carriage members 170 and 172 include posts 178 and eyes 179. Posts 178 have a ramped surface 180. Eyes 179 have a retaining edge 181. Posts 178 are received by eyes 179 so that the retaining edge 181 retains the carriage members 170 and 172 in a mating arrangement trapping the connectors 120 and 122 between them. Carriage 130 may be made of plastic. As can be seen in the
Alternatively, snaps, tabs, slots, inserts, tabs or other engaging edges could be used to secure carriage members 170 and 172 in a mating arrangement. Also, the carriage could be a single molded piece instead of two, for example the carriage could be injection molded around a connector. Carriage 130 in the figures receives two connectors 120 and 122, but alternative embodiments could include single connector carriages receiving only one connector which would allow each individual connector to be positioned independently of other connectors. The carriage 130 could be configured to receive more than two connectors. The connector housing could also be configured with a larger connector window or multiple connector windows to allow the carriage and connectors to be positioned in more than two positions. For example, a three-position system could include an intermediate position, an upper position, and a lower position.
Referring now to
Alternatively, the assembly may not include a means for retaining the carriage and connectors in the selected position. Instead, the present invention could be used during installation to slide the connectors from an initial position into a more accessible position in order to connect or disconnect a cable to or from the connector. Then the connector could be allowed to slide back down into its original position.
The carriage and connector housing could be configured with various opposing edges in order to retain the carriage and connectors in a selected position. These could include engaging tabs and slots, push-and-slide, or pull-and-slide mechanisms.
By using two connector housings that include slidable connectors according to the present invention, a staggered arrangement of connectors can be achieved. The method would include the step of sliding a slidable connector into a position on a first module and placing the first module adjacent a second module with a connector in a different position. Alternatively, the two modules could first be placed next to each other and then one sliding connector would be slid to a staggered position relative to the connector in the second module.
The present invention can be employed in various applications. The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiment disclosed herein. For example, the connector housing may be any panel having a flat surface in which connectors are disposed. Having described the present invention in its preferred embodiment, modifications and equivalents may occur to one skilled in the art. It is intended that such modifications and equivalents shall be included within the scope of the claims which are appended hereto.
