Abstract: A fuse positioning fixture includes a fuse positioning template and a fuse loading block. The fuse positioning template includes a number of fuse positioning openings. Each one of the fuse positioning openings extends through the fuse positioning template and corresponds with a fuse holder in a fuse relay center. The fuse positioning template includes solid portions adjacent each one of the fuse positioning openings which provide a fuse blocking portion. The fuse loading block includes a number of fuse loading openings and is configured to slidably engage with a top surface of the fuse positioning template such that in a first position of the fuse loading block fuses placed in the fuse loading openings are held in place by the fuse blocking portion. In a second position of the fuse loading block, the fuse loading openings align with the fuse positioning openings.

Abstract: An improved watersuit having a stabilization belt, elastic stretch sections and a wetsuit arm positioning system. The watersuit stabilization belt system comprises a watersuit and at least one adjustable belt attached to the watersuit, which provides an adjustable tightness around a user's mid-section. The improved watersuit also comprises an upper-body portion, a stretchable portion, and a lower-body portion, wherein the stretchable portion is more elastic than the upper and lower-body portions of the wetsuit. The improved watersuit further having a wetsuit arm positioning system, wherein the arm portions of the watersuit have extra buoyancy sections that wrap about the arm. These extra buoyancy sections are narrower around the front of the arms and wider around the back of the arms so as not to inhibit movement in the elbow region.

Abstract: Electronic device configuration management systems and methods are disclosed. Configuration information for configuring at least one component of an electronic device is stored in a memory. A determination is made as to whether further configuration information capable of configuring the at least one component is available at the electronic device. Based on the determination, one of the configuration information and the further configuration information is loaded to configure the at least one component. The determination may be made, for example, by accessing compatibility information which is associated with the configuration information. Data structures supporting configuration management functions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method of selecting a version of a program code from a series of program codes for a program element associated with a hardware element for a circuit board. The invention identifies a compatible program code for a particular hardware element and downloads the compatible program code. A record is associated with the hardware element to identify its compatible program codes. The program codes are stored in a bundle and are associated with a software code. A program loader, associated with each bundle, checks the compatibilities of the hardware element to both the software code and the selected program code. Another record stores compatibility information of the program codes with hardware element versions and is also associated with the bundle. Code downloads are made first to an inactive memory bank and after the codes are verified, the inactive memory bank is made active.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method of electronically tracking a history of engineering change orders (ECOs) associated with a manufactured device. The device has at least one electronic component thereon. The method comprises, generally, storing in an electronic storage device associated with the device, the history of ECOs and updating the history of ECOs when a new ECO is associated with the device to indicate whether the new ECO was implemented on the device. The system utilizes the method and has an electronic storage device associated with the device and a data element stored therein. The contents thereof indicate the history of ECOs for the device and allow modification thereto to indicate whether a new ECO was implemented thereon. An ECO history enables a determination to be made of compatibilities between hardware and software elements and between hardware and firmware elements.
