Floating connector alignment mechanism: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Particulate ingress causes electrical failure and signal degradation in mating components. These designs engineer physical barriers and interlocking geometries to maintain contact integrity in harsh environments.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Floating connector alignment mechanism?

Unintentional fastener decoupling

(5)evidences

Unintended detachment or shifting of head-mounted equipment during movement. Ensuring reliable retention prevents equipment loss and maintains consistent positioning for the user.

Component mating misalignment

(3)evidences

Accumulation of particulates within interface contact points causes electrical failure and physical obstruction. Preventing this degradation ensures consistent signal integrity and mechanical mating reliability.
