Abstract: An interconnect for an installation environment adapted for housing at least one electrical component having a number of first connectors each having a first configuration, wherein the installation environment has pre-installed wiring having a number of second connectors each having a second configuration. The interconnect includes a backplane component including a number of third connectors adapted to connect with the number of first connectors, and a number of fourth connectors adapted to connect with the number of second connectors, wherein each of the number of fourth connectors is coupled to a respective one of the number of third connectors in a manner that maps the second configuration to the first configuration, and includes a mechanical bracket component adapted to allow for the installation of at least one electrical component such that the first connectors are connected to the third connectors.

Abstract: A vehicle floor mat includes a containment portion, a high border generally surrounding the containment portion along the top thereof, and a base rim generally surrounding the containment portion along the bottom thereof. At least one flexible peripheral portion adjoins the containment portion. The flexible peripheral portion may have a bottom surface that is offset from a lower surface of the base rim to define an offset dimension. The base rim may include an outer side wall that extends upwardly from the lower surface to the bottom surface of the flexible peripheral portion. The flexible peripheral portion may be arranged inclined upwardly at an acute angle relative to a plane defined by the lower surface of the base rim.

Abstract: A device 20 used to join two pipes 22,22? positioned end to end. The device comprises two parallel jaws 24,24? holding the pipes mounted in combination with means of rods 28 linking the two jaws. One jaw is fixed 24 while the other jaw is mobile 24?; at least one rod is provided with means of rack wherein means of pinions 34 are moved while pulling the mobile jaw 24? towards or away from the fixed jaw until the pipes are connected. Each jaw is provided with means of spacing 42 their claws for adjusting their opening with the section of the pipes. Those means of spacing claws comprise a transversal bar 44 mounted between the claws and adapted to move, transversally along longitudinal slots made in the claws, thus spacing or moving closer the claws and then determining a sufficient opening corresponding with the pipe section.

Abstract: A vehicle floor mat includes cutting grooves for severing and removing at least one section of a peripheral portion of the mat. The cutting grooves are arranged to define a plurality of distinct outer contours so that the vehicle floor mat is compatible with a plurality of different vehicle models. The vehicle floor mat can further include apertures arranged to receive the anchors of each of the different vehicle models. Each of the different vehicle models can be selected from different models of a particular vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle floor mat can be compatible with at least five different vehicle models.
