The present invention discloses an improvement in coaxial compression connectors used in, inter alia, CATV, satellite, and home theater electronics. The present connectors accept a large range of cable sizes, allow replacement of the holding or compression element to accommodate a range of sizes, and allow the connector to be re-uesable. The connector comprises an attachment nut operable for electrically connecting the coaxial cable to another device, a tubular shank attached to the connector nut operable for accepting the dielectric layer of the coaxial cable therewithin, a body portion connecting the nut and tubular shank, a compression ring and an outer shell. In a first embodiment, the compression ring is a relatively short tubular member removably housed within the outer shell. The compression ring has an annular compression groove on the outer circumference thereof which causes a mid-portion of the ring to deform inwardly in response to a longitudinal force applied to opposing ends of the compression ring to securely hold the cable within the connector and create a 360 degree moisture seal. In a second embodiment, the body portion deforms inwardly. In both embodiments, a shoulder within the shell abuts the trailing end of the compressive member and exerts a longitudinal compression force thereon that causes the compressive member to circumferentially buckle inwardly against the cable.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/797,322, filed May 2, 2006, and Ser. No. 60/842,994, filed Sep. 6, 2006.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a deformable compression ring for use in a coaxial cable connector.
2. Prior Art
The plethora of compression-type coaxial connectors in current use all have limitations with regard to accepting a restricted size range of cables and can only be used once. Some connectors have the ability to exchange parts to adjust for out-of-size cables. The present art designs are one-time use. Due to the expense of many gold plated and specialty connectors now used in home theater and wireless and industrial applications, re-useability is a desirable feature when an error is made during installation.
Burris, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,525,076, discloses a compression-type coaxial cable connector including an outer tubular member having an axial bore for receiving a coaxial cable, a free end, and an inner end. A coupling member is attached to the inner end of the outer tubular member for coupling the coaxial cable to a mating coaxial cable connector. A securement means is carried by the outer tubular member for providing mechanical, and sealing engagement with the coaxial cable in response to a longitudinal compressive force. The operability of the securement means relies upon the compression of the outer shell to deform a groove to protrude inwardly thus securing a coaxial cable between the inward protrusion and a center post. In operation, the connector disclosed in the '076 patent has problems.
The aforesaid '076 patent teaches the use of a groove in the outer shell that, when compressed longitudinally, results in an inward deformation of the groove forming a 360 degree reduced diameter seal over the coaxial cable jacket. U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,422 further enhances the method by using a unique groove design. Burris has the difficulty of manufacture in that the groove needs to be made to a high tolerance to insure uniform compression, and the entire body (which is made from metal) needs to be annealed to effect compression at the groove/weakened location. The compression element (i.e., the groove) needs to be machined into the thick metal comprising the body of the connector. Another limitation is that upon compression of the body, it must be compressed evenly or the connector will not close properly. The connector disclosed in the '076 patent has the problem of manufacturing precision grooves and consistent metal annealing to allow the longitudinally-moving shell to produce equal circumferenced inward protrusions. If the heat treating is not perfect, too much force will be required to compress the outer shell of the connector thus making it difficult to use. In addition, keeping the correct groove shape to have the protrusions move inwardly (versus collapse) is difficult. U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,422 acknowledges this problem and discloses a securement member that optimizes the metal shape of this groove.
The second problem with the compression-type connector disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,525,076 is that the compression tools used to compress the securement member do not apply longitudinal force equally over the 360 degrees of the rear compression shell. For example, the compression tool may only apply a compressive force on 270 degrees. In such an event, the securement member may not collapse equally, resulting in only partial radial inward deformation. This effect is dependent upon the compression tool used and the craft skills of the user. It would be desirable to provide an improved securement member that will provide uniform compression of a cable around the circumference thereof. Holland, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,008,263, teaches of an internal compression ring that is removable and replaceable to meet a new demand in the market. The limitation on the Holland design, where the ring is deformed in the rear only by a rear tapered shell ID, is that this bigger taper that is needed to compress the ring also restricts the maximum OD cable that may be used.
Montena teaches of an outer shell/fastener moving from an open/outer position to a closed one resulting in the sloping ID of the shell compressing the body radially inward at its rear. This has the limitations of having to also heat treat the entire body to effect a soft compression of the trailing edge. It is also being limited as a one-use, connector.
Sterling, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,848,939, uses a wedge plug that compresses the cable between the body and ferrule and is located remotely from under the body/
Burris, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,018,235, also begins with a compression ring remote from the body but differs from Sterling in that this ring's final position is over the center tube/ferrule rear end and exerts radial force for holding and sealing by forming an arc. This arc is formed by the longitudinal force and the chamfer on both the rear edge of the body and the front inside edge of the shell/fastener. The limitations of this design is that the force is very dependant upon the material of the ring being able to form an arc shape rather than assume the method of the Sterling. This material must be restricted in type.
Chee, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,817,897, uses an inner ring that is fixed and requires a series of shoulders that bend inward as a group to effect compression. This compression is effected by the rear taper of the fastener's inner surface as it moves laterally.
Most prior art connectors that employ removable compression rings require that at least a portion of the axial bore of the body portion or the shell (and/or the outer surface of the compression ring) be conically tapered to effect radial deformation of the compression ring during longitudinal compression of the connector. The present invention, by using a perpendicular edge (shoulder) on the ID of the axial bore of the shell to longitudinally compress the compression ring, enables a cable having a larger OD to be inserted into the axial bore of the compression ring. By moving the grooved compression ring to a position within the axial lumen of the outer shell, as in the present invention, the outer shell and the body acts as a guide to insure radially uniform inward deformation of the mid-portion of the ring and allows the use of different materials than the body or shell for making the rings. Rubber, plastic, or specially spiked surfaces can be used for such cables with hard jackets for burial or plenum cables adapted for use in potential fire areas.
The present invention is directed to an improved compression ring for use in a compression-type coaxial cable connector that substantially obviates one or more of the limitations of the related art. To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention includes a compression ring for insertion within the axial lumen of the outer shell of a compression-type coaxial cable connector, the general features and operation of the connector being well know in the art.
The present invention discloses an improvement in a coaxial cable connector comprising a connector nut, a tubular shank extending rearwardly from the connector nut, a tubular body portion concentrically overlying the tubular shank and a tubular outer shell having a central lumen slidingly attached to a trailing end of the body portion. The compression ring is removably disposed within the central lumen of the outer shell rearward of the trailing end of the body portion. The compression ring comprises a tubular member having a leading end, a trailing end and a circumferential annular groove on an outer surface thereof. The annular groove predisposes the midportion of the compression ring to deform radially inwardly when a longitudinal compressive force is applied to the compression ring. The annular groove is preferably disposed midway between the leading end and the trailing end of the compression ring.
More particularly, the compression ring of the present invention is a short tubular member having an axial lumen and an annular groove circumscribed around the outer surface thereof. The groove enables the radially inward deformation of the central portion of the axial lumen when a longitudinal compressive force is applied to the leading and trailing ends of the compression ring. The deformation of the ring over a cable forms a moisture-proof seal by the inward 360 degree ridge being formed by longitudinal force on the ring. The annular groove provides a pre-weakened portion to begin the deformation into a reduced ID circular ridge in the axial lumen. The material comprising the compression ring can be changed to support softer cables and harder ones. The ring closure method and seal differ from former ones by center-ring groove being forced to collapse into a seal by longitudinal force. Accordingly, it is unnecessary to include slots in the deformable compression ring to facilitate deformation. Such slots enable deformation of the compression member in response to a longitudinal force, but they do not provide a leakproof moisture seal. The present compression ring provides an annular mointure seal between the connector and the cable.
A second embodiment of the present invention is directed to an improved securement member wherein the body portion of the connector comprises a tubular plastic sleeve having an axial bore adapted to snugly accommodate a coaxial cable therewithin. The sleeve has a leading (forward) end that abuts the connector nut, a trailing (rearward) end and an elastically deformable body portion therebetween. The sleeve (i.e., body portion) has a plurality of annular grooves on an outer surface thereof. A rigid tubular shell having a uniform cylindrical axial bore and a recurved trailing end overlies the trailing end of the sleeve. When a coaxial cable is inserted through the axial bore of the sleeve to project through the leading end of the sleeve and the cable/sleeve assembly inserted into the coaxial cable connector such that the (barbed) centerpost (shank) of the connector is disposed between the conductive braided shielding and the dielectric layer of the cable, and the rigid shell is advanced over the sleeve toward the leading end of the sleeve by means of a compression tool, the longitudinal compression of the sleeve causes the sleeve to buckle radially inwardly in the region underlying the annular grooves and press against the cable jacket at select points. The deformable plastic sleeve obviates one or more of the limitations of the related art.
The features of the invention believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. However the invention itself, both as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof may be best understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The second embodiment of a compression connector for a coaxial cable described discloses a connector comprising a plastic inner sleeve extending rearwardly from a connector nut, the sleeve having annular compression grooves, and a rigid, tubular outer shell slidably mounted over the sleeve. When the outer shell is compressed longitudinally, the deformable plastic sleeve also longitudinally compresses resulting in inwardly protruding radial bands which compress the coaxial cable between the radial bands and the center post. Using a plastic inner sleeve allows for consistent low force compression due to the presence of the rigid outer shell which constrains the deformation of the sleeve radially inwardly and provides support and protection for the cable and connector. The rigid outer shell acts as a guide during compression to insure the plastic inner body deforms inwardly in a uniform manner, even if the longitudinal force is slightly uneven. The present invention reduces manufacturing and installation difficulties and provides a lower cost product. In addition, both the first and second embodiments disclosed herein provide a moisture seal between the body portion (or sleeve) of the connector and the cable securely held therewithin.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, it is a principle feature of both embodiments of the present invention described hereinabove that tapering of the axial bore of the outer rigid shell and/or the body portion (or sleeve) is not required to provide inward deformation of the compressive member. Only a longitudinal force applied to the shell is required for radially sealing the cable within the connector. The absence of tapered axial bores and/or tapered outer surfaces in the shell, compression ring and body portions distinguishes the present connectors from prior art connectors. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.

The 2012 Western Athletic Conference baseball tournament gets underway today at Hohokam Park in Mesa, Ariz. The regular season saw a three-way tie for first place between New Mexico State, Sacramento State and Nevada at 11-7. The Aggies earned the top seed due to the league's tiebreaker rules (head-to-head record against the tied teams) while Sacramento State earned the number two seed by virtue of their head-to-head series victory over Nevada. This was important because the league awards first-round byes to the top two teams meaning Nevada, despite winning a share of the regular season title, was relegated to the three seed and must play on the tournament's opening day.
The four seed went to Hawai'i who finished the regular season at 10-8. Preseason favorite Fresno State struggled out of the gate starting conference play at 2-7 but rallied in the second half of the conference schedule to finish 9-9 and in fifth place. Rounding out the tournament field is Louisiana Tech who also struggled out of the gate starting 1-8 in league play but like their Bulldog brethren from California, posted a strong second half and finished 7-11.
The four lower seeds will play today with 4-seed Hawai'i facing 5-seed Fresno State at 3:00 p.m. (PDT) while 3-seed Nevada takes on 6-seed Louisiana Tech at 7:00 p.m. (PDT).

Weight and waistlines depend on weekday menu, not weekend splurges
ITHACA, N.Y. – Trying to lose weight? Eating well during the week might be more important than the occasional weekend splurge, says a new study.
Researchers examined how the seven-days-a-week human cycle impacts weight. They discovered almost everyone loses weight during the week and gains weight on weekends.
"There is a clear weekly rhythm to weight variation for most people," said Anna-Leena Orsama of VTT Technical Research Center, Finland. "On the weekends there is more variability and unpredictability in what we eat."
The study also showed preliminary evidence that those who show the largest decrease in weight between Sunday and Friday are more likely to either lose or maintain weight over time.
"Weight variations between weekdays and weekends should be considered normal instead of weight gain," said Cornell University behavioral economist Brian Wansink. "The big difference between those who gain weight over time and those who lose or maintain weight is directly related to the way they eat from Monday to Friday. Some indulging during weekends makes no harm but for successful weight loss it is important to notice these rhythms and take steps to reverse the upward trends after the weekend."
The study, "Weight Rhythms: Weight Increases during Weekends and Decreases during Weekdays," was a collaborative research effort between Cornell University, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Tampere University of Technology and was published this week in Obesity Facts.

Simon, Joe:Joe Simon (American, b. 1913): is one of the most important and successful comic book creators in comics history. After a short stint as an editor at Fox Publications in 1939, Simon moved over to Timely where he became the company's first editor. By this time he had partnered with Jack Kirby to form the legendary Simon & Kirby team, and the duo had a major hit in 1941 with Captain America. After a dispute with Timely over royalties and other promised compensation, Simon & Kirby moved from company to company, extending their legacy of groundbreaking creations. For Fawcett, they produced the first complete issue starring Captain Marvel, at DC, they produced the Boy Commandos, Newsboy Legion, Sandman, and Manhunter. They also pioneered new genres such as kid gang and romance. The Simon & Kirby partnership ended in 1955, with both men continuing their careers, occasionally teaming again for special projects. Simon continued his career working at Harvey and Sick magazine. In 1990 Simon wrote a colorful history of comics, The Comic Book Makers, and even at age 95, Simon continued to give interviews, write, draw, edit and publish, setting an unparalleled record for longevity in a field famous for its quick turnover..

1995 Buick Skylark Q&A
1995 Buick Skylark Question: Antifreeze
Can you use any kind of antifreeze in your vehicle? - Visitor
Answer 1
For a 1995 Buick I would recomend going to a parts store and purchase the standard "green "coolant. The rules have changed on anti freeze and there are some good alternatives but stay away from the long life stuff- I recomend changing it every 2 to 3 years-more than that and we see rust and corrosion start to build up. We do not recomend "dex cool". Good luck! Greg - Greg-Julia

700th anniversary of William Wallace's death
SNP MSP Christine Grahame has called on the UK Government to instruct the flying of the Saltire above Edinburgh Castle on Tuesday.
Edinburgh Castle is an official flag station for the British Army and the SNP said such a move would be the first time the Saltire has been flown from the highest point on the castle since the 1707 Act of Union.
Ms Grahame said: "The spark which William Wallace ignited led directly to the Wars of Independence and ultimately recognition of Scotland as a free nation.
"Had he not done so then Scotland would almost certainly have been annexed as part of a 'greater England'."
She said raising the Saltire would be a "fitting tribute" to Wallace's memory and the "inspiration it brought to the rest of the Scotland to resist oppression and injustice".

If you purchase items at a shop, or eat out, or even vote, or even go to see movies (whatever), paid survey institutions want your feedback. Its because of this that they pay people just for doing paid online surveys.
The businesses below are the ones we've found to be the most reliable and legitimate. They pay in a timely manner, give loads of online surveys, and offer a variety of payment forms and benefits (we really like the gift cards best). Puerto Rico is a crucial state with regard to paid online surveys, therefore there's a significant number of survey businesses you may signup with.
Get Paid for Surveys in Puerto Rico
Doing paid surveys online is simple. It might not pay much initially ($2 to $5 for every survey normally), nevertheless once you do good, you begin getting the higher rewarding internet surveys and also the even more profitable telephone surveys and focus groups. You are given rewards with your time in the shape of money and gift cards together with 100 percent free goodies by simply accomplishing surveys on a wide array of topics.

|Survey Company
|Customer Satisfaction
|Number of Surveys
The key to Ipsos I-Say is to fill out that first survey you're given right after registering. If you register for this one, make sure you're serious. Fill out your profile well, do that first survey quickly and they will reward you well with good surveys. Be sure to work hard on the first few so you prove yourself to them. Then you're "in."
IPSOS enters all new members instantly in a $5000 sweepstates just for joining. They have a great reputation for generous payouts. You've probably heard of them because they are the polling company you hear about in the news often. You don't get paid cash per survey, but you can win cash and earn points that you can exchange for cash. If you want your opinion heard, and want to earn points quick this is the one to join.
Points add up pretty fast and you can cash out quickly with Ipsos I-Say. They pay via check. Remember: do that first survey immediately.
Toluna Survey Panel is unique for several reasons. It's community based--so there are a lot of mini-polls, and what's really fun is you even get to do your own mini-polls! Also, you get points even if you don't qualify for a given survey! They have a monthly $4500 drawing for survey takers, and the more surveys you try, the more entries you get. Toluna is one that rewards you for diligence.
Points will then be converted into cash, PayPal or gift cards. They accept people from several international countries.
ClearVoice does something that no one else does--they even pay you for surveys you don't qualify for! If you get a survey request and find out that you don't qualify for it for one reason or another, they still pay you. It's not much, but none of the other survey companies do this!
The other thing I like is that they pay consistently for every single survey you take. You can get cash or you can get gift certificates at Amazon.com or one of my favorites: Dining Dough! It's a great way to multiply your rewards, and there's nothing like getting to go eat out at nice places just because you completed a few surveys!
One big plus for this one is that you may get invited to clinical studies. Those pay the most of all. Even more than focus groups.
The nice thing about MySurvey is that the more surveys I take, the more I get. And the payouts get higher and higher too. Impress them and they'll impress you. Absolutely one of my favorites. With My Survey, you earn points that you convert to cash. They also have great merchandise you can cash out for. They send a check. I have made hundreds with them to date. They pay within a couple of weeks!
Be sure to fill out your profile on their site and make sure you confirm your email in the welcome email they send you.
A very corporate and professional looking site by GfK (which means Growth from Knowledge), they are the same company that brought you Surveys.com, a legit and outstanding company. askGfK is a top-ten market research company, uniting some of the most renowned US and European research firms into a single global organization.
It might be a little tedious at first to sign up but when you register with your complete information there's a lot of surveys waiting for you there. You are rewarded points with every survey you finish and you can redeem right away once you hit $25. (For some market research companies you have to reach a bigger amount.) And if you remember how Surveys.com rewarded its panelist you can bet the farm that askGfK will definitely follow suit.
You are rewarded with points and prizes such as flat screen TV's, vacations, netbooks and even cash incentives when you finish a certain number of surveys.
So don't wait up, sign up HERE for free.
Global Test Market is hot after new survey takers right now and they are compensating well. They have the fastest and most efficient surveys in the online market. And they pay CASH for surveys taken!
You will frequently get surveys for points ranging from 5 to over 1,000. You cash out when you reach 1,000 points for $50 (and that's not bad at all). You can get a survey from them that pays out 2,000 points that would be enough for $100 cash. And you often get points, even if you don't qualify.
Memberships in Survey Spot are FREE right now! And they are GENEROUS! They have given out over $20 million dollars in cash and prizes so far. They also have a new Instant Win game that you qualify for every time you do a survey, even if it's just a $2.00 survey! They also give out $25,000 cash every three months to one lucky survey-taker.
As soon as you reach the claim threshold of 1000 points, you can request payment via PayPal. Payment will be added to the PayPal account you use for your SurveySpot correspondence.
Are you kidding? Make money sitting on your couch while watching TV? Believe it or not, it's actually true. Earning points with RewardTV is easy and fun. You play fun trivia games based on the TV shows you watch and you're rewarded by commercial sponsors such as BMW, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Toys R Us, Chevron, etc. among others. Earn 5000 points instantly as soon as you register here.
I like this one because of the $5 sign-up bonus. They give you 5 bucks just to sign up! Then the dollars just keep coming. I get good offers every single day from them. And then after I do the quick surveys, they send me my earnings! Just like their name says.
One of the most popular ways to make money with this program is to complete their daily $.50 survey. Sure it's not a lot of money but the survey will only take you a minute or so and if you do the math that equals out to about $30/hr. But the "secret" is that once you do the daily survey, that opens up other ways you can make money that only the daily surveys takers get. (hint hint)
Valued Opinions is great because in four quick surveys you can get $20 immediately! This is a high class service. You'll realize that when you see who their clients are. The great thing is that you can also win Marriott hotel stays, iTunes money, Macy's gift certificates and lot more nice rewards like that. And that's in addition to the cash you earn!
Here's one really unique thing they do: if you already have an account with one of their customers, like a cell phone company, or credit card company, etc., they post jobs for a certain payout (like $5 or so) and then you call customer service for that company. Then you fill out a quick survey reporting the results of the call! So you get PAID to tattle-tale on bad (or good) customer service. Nice deal huh!

Literary Hook: White crystal blanket gives way to green carpet of spring
By Christine Swanberg
Author and Poet
We've just passed that in-between season, not quite winter and not quite spring. The following poem by Cleo Johnson, a Rock River Times favorite poet, captures that season well.
As a member of the Wednesday writers' group, Johnson continues to work on improving her poems so they can give readers a positive feeling and some sort of identification with their own lives and observations.
She is fond of traveling, meeting new people and, in general, trying to add a little sunshine to brighten every day.
Crystal Blanket
Clouds bulging with water glide across the sky
And pass through freezing air
Aching to drop their heavy load
Where water turns to sparkling crystal flakes
As flakes drift in slow motion to the ground
They elegantly cover everything
Cars, buildings with large peaked roofs
Birdhouse roofs, yards, fields, lawns
Roads turn white like pearl silk ribbons
Disappearing in the distance
People, critters, abandoned nests in trees
Are gently covered, warmed and enclosed
In a pure pristine whiteness
a blanket appears to cover scars
And the evidence of people
To insulate plants and small animals
Under its shelter, warming them all
The white crystal blanket protects everything
Until the warm spring air comes again and
Changes it all to a soothing smooth carpet of green
Christine Swanberg is a local author and poet.
From the May 2-8, 2012, issue
