Abstract: A reciprocating assembly includes a bore that contains hydraulic fluid. A piston is received within the bore and can move within the bore in a reciprocating motion between an extended position and a retracted position. Displacement of the piston within the bore causes displacement of hydraulic fluid when hydraulic fluid is in the bore. The piston includes an internal cavity extending at least partially along a length of the piston. The reciprocating assembly also includes a push pin that is received within the internal cavity. The bore, piston, and push pin are arranged so that movement of the push pin related to the bore causes translation of the piston within the bore to the extended position along a translation axis. The push pin can pivot during movement of the push pin between an in-line position and an angled position. The in-line position is substantially parallel to the translation axis.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to an annotation system having a remote processor, and a client processor in data communication with the remote processor. The client processor is adapted to send a first request for an electronic file to the remote processor, receive the electronic file from the remote processor, define at least one new annotation about the electronic file, and define at least one anchor associated with the at least one annotation. The at least one of the remote processor and the client processor is adapted to store the at least one anchor and the at least one annotation in an annotation file that is separate from the electronic file.

Abstract: An adapter has two conductors each with a U-shaped bend forming upper longer legs and lower shorter legs. The conductors face each other with the longer legs linearly aligned with each other and the shorter legs aligned with each other, thereby forming a first gap between the longer legs and a second gap between the shorter legs. The first gap is substantially smaller than the second gap, so that an electrical package can be placed across the first gap to contact the two upper longer legs, while the two shorter legs are spaced further apart to span a larger gap between conductors of a connector. Thus, the adapter enables the electrical package to be connected to conductors having a gap that is larger than the electrical package.
