3 unusual facts about Oxenham Non-Connectors


Oxenham Non-Connectors

Of the six titles in this series, four are set largely in Scotland: Goblin Island is set on 'Loch Avie', a fictionalised Loch Lomond; Princess in Tatters is set on 'Loch Ruel', which may be Loch Fyne; A Holiday Queen is set at 'Morven' on what appears to be Loch Long; and Schoolgirls and Scouts is set at 'Glenleny', which also seems to be on Loch Long, but a bit further up the loch.

Rosaly's New School is set in Goathland, Yorkshire, and At School with the Roundheads set at 'Redburn', an amalgam of Saltburn and Redcar.

Twins of Castle Charming - perhaps Oxenham's rarest title - is set largely in Switzerland, whereas Finding Her Family has some early scenes set in Ealing and mainly takes place in Saltburn.

IECEE/CEE

Under the name of "CEE connectors" most medium industrial appliances use connectors according to the IEC 60309 standard.

Index-matching material

In fiber optics and telecommunications, an index-matching material may be used in conjunction with pairs of mated connectors or with mechanical splices to reduce signal reflected in the guided mode (known as return loss) (see: Optical fiber connector).

LEMO

The LEMO 00, a miniature push-pull 50Ω coaxial connector, is used as front panel connectors in the Nuclear Instrumentation Module (NIM) and Computer Automated Measurement and Control (CAMAC) modular electronics standards used in instrumentation for nuclear and particle physics, where it is used as a replacement for BNC connectors in high density designs (because the LEMO connector is much smaller in size than a BNC).

LEMO is both the name of an electronic and fibre optic connector manufacturer, based in Écublens, Switzerland, and the name commonly used to refer to push-pull connectors made by that company.

Lighting technician

These plug or tap into other modular units fed from bigger premade cables and splitters with the CAM-LOK” TM - Trade name which has become a generic vernacular; moulded water resistant SINGLE PIN connector,under the standard IP44 splash or waterproof connectors.

Mark Levinson No. 26

This unit utilizes Camac coaxial connectors (except for the XLR balanced ones), which were used in the medical industry as well, because they break hot before they break ground when you unplug them.

It was one of the first connectors capable of carrying microwave-frequency signals, and was invented in the 1940s by Paul Neill of Bell Labs, after whom the connector is named.

NeSSI

A Swagelok system which uses various lengths of tube connectors set in rigid channels; a CIRCORTech design which uses a single block with assorted flow-tubes; and a Parker Hannifin design which uses various blocks ported together with small connectors which also serve as flow paths.

Neutrik

Their product range includes XLR-type connectors, speakON connectors, powerCON connectors, patch bays, BNC connectors and special connectors for industrial applications.

Radiall

In 1984, arrived the long awaited first qualification by Boeing for connectors that comply to ARINC 600.

RS-422

Any complete cable assembly (i.e. with connectors) should be labeled with the specification that defined the signal function and mechanical layout of the connector, such as RS-449.

SPARCstation 10

There are also two Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN connectors; the system shipped with plastic blocking plugs inserted in these connectors.

Speakon connector

Speakon connectors are rated for 30 A RMS continuous current, higher than 1/4-inch TS phone connectors, two-pole twist lock, and XLR connectors for loudspeakers.

Thermalite

Thermalite safety fuses and connectors were manufactured in Quebec by ICA Canada Inc., however in November 1995 they ceased manufacturing of detonator cord.

Thermomass
