Abstract: An electronic multinational consolidation system and method of combining and translating financial data by automatically applying the correct exchange rate based on predetermined accounting rules to each required general ledger, providing mapping tools to assure consistency across various general ledgers and, hence, accurate financial reporting and allowing for historical corrections to be made and brought forward to the current financial period.

Abstract: A conductive component for carrying electrical signals constructed from a molded polymer substrate and a conductive coating adhered to the substrate, the coating defining a continuous electrical pathway between at least two terminals. Preferably, molded plastic such as liquid crystal polymer is formed to make circuits having conductive ink adhered thereto in order to provide inexpensive and versatile printed circuit boards for carrying electrical traces and other components and to provide printed formed contacts. The conductive solderable inks can be adhered to the substrate, for example, via screen printing, brush, spraying, dipping, masking, vacuum plating or vacuum deposition with subsequent oven drying, reflowing in a vapor phase, post curing or plating.

Abstract: An electrical connector for mounting on the edge of a printed circuit board, the connector having a plurality of terminals which engage against electrically conductive contact fingers formed on the printed circuit board adjacent the edge thereof, and the connector being designed to clamp over an edge portion of the circuit board so as to permit a high contact pressure between the connector terminals and the circuit board fingers without requiring a high insertion force to interconnect the connector with the circuit board.
