Abstract: An illustrated view of an exemplary clock directed at a political figure. The clock is useful for providing a current time. The clock is further useful for providing a listener with a recorded speech for the purpose of comedy. The clock is also useful for providing a figure, such as a current President, such as President Trump, for deriving a comedic effect.

Abstract: An oxygen separation system for an engine is disclosed. The oxygen separation system may include a cathode exposed to inlet air, an anode configured to direct a flow of substantially pure oxygen to a combustion chamber of the engine, and a thin film electrolyte located between the anode and the cathode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shielding cage extending along a longitudinal axis between a front side and a rear side and including a diecast metal section extending from said front side over a first length along said longitudinal axis. The shielding cage contains a sheet metal section extending from said rear side towards said front side over a second length along said longitudinal axis, said first length being substantially shorter than said second length. The shielding cage combines a considerable degree of freedom in shaping and robustness at the diecast front side with a substantial reduction of the temperature induced stresses as the length of the diecast section is substantially shorter than that of the second shield metal section of the cage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shielding cage determined by a plurality of walls and including one or more mounting tails for mounting the shielding cage to a circuit board. The shielding cage is a die-cast shielding cage and the mounting tails are integrated mounting tails of the die-cast shielding cage. Preferably the mounting tails are flexible mounting tails to provide relief for temperature induced forces.

Abstract: A contact includes a body having a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension defining a first channel being configured to receive a conductor extending along the longitudinal direction, and a second channel configured to receive a conductor extending along the transverse dimension. At least one of a lance and a tooth extend from each of the first and second channels to secure the respective conductors thereto.

Abstract: Determinism is maintained in a synchronous first system although the first system receives behaviorchanging signals from a second system running asynchronously relative to the first system. The second system refrains from sending behavior-changing signals to the first system until the first system stops its clock at a prespecified clock cycle and signals the second system of the event. The second system then downloads the behavior-changing signals into the first system and restarts the first system clock. The first system awakens to discover that the behavior-changing signals have been received during the prespecified clock cycle. This is repeated over multiple runs, and in each run the same behavior-changing signals are transferred at the same prespecified clock cycles of the first system. Deterministic behavior is thereby maintained in the first system.

Abstract: In a computer system that has one or more primary processing units processing user tasks and at least one auxiliary processing unit servicing the primary processing units, feature control is performed by storing a authorization code in the auxiliary processing unit. When an operation to change the feature of the computer system is initiated, a signal, including a key code, is sent to the auxiliary processing unit. The auxiliary processing unit checks the key code against the authorization code, and enables the operation if the check is successful.

Abstract: For the indirect laying or aiming of a weapon at a target, which weapon is arranged upon a vehicle, there are performed with the aid of an electronic computer predetermined steps which enable the weapon to be layed rapidly, simply and in a fail-safe manner. The weapon is initially oriented with respect to the north direction. The target azimuth is stored in the computer. The computer shows the momentary direction deviation and the weapon is pivoted for such length of time until the display shows "O".
