Abstract: An adjustable terminal is disclosed having a plurality of electrical contacts electrically coupled between a corresponding number of pair-wise electrically-coupled input terminals and output terminals. A plurality of mechanically coupled jumpers are operable to pair-wise jump the electrical contacts to reconfigure the adjustable terminal variously for bi-amplifier output, parallel output, and series output at said output terminals. A housing is disclosed having support for the electrical contacts and for the jumpers, as well as labels for inputs, outputs, and current configuration. The jumpers may be mounted to a slider card that is movable between three positions to provide terminal reconfiguration.

Abstract: A novel shallow speaker has a novel spidercone coaxial with and optionally having a radially inner spidercone flange suspended in a circumferential adhesive well affixed to the former. An inner rearward flange of the flat annular diaphragm is suspended in the circumferential adhesive well and the well is filled with epoxy. The spidercone has a frustroconical portion having a minimum radius smaller than the maximum magnet assembly radius and a maximum radius greater than the maximum magnet assembly radius. The spidercone has a spider portion integral with the larger end of the frustroconical portion and attachable to the basket by a tangential flange. The tinsel is interwoven with the spidercone in a way that reduces the risk of breaking and shorting. The diaphragm is substantially flat and coplanar with the top edge of the narrow surround when at rest.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention an object oriented wizard creation mechanism provides an environment and set of facilities for creating and modifying wizards. The preferred embodiment wizard creation mechanism provides a WizardWizard mechanism for creating the skeleton of new wizard, a WizardDesigner mechanism for specializing and WizardMetaDataManager mechanism for persisting and retrieving created wizards. The WizardWizard guides the developer through a predetermined series of steps that are required to define a the basic components of a new wizard. The WizardDesigner takes these basic components and guides the developer through a specialization process that further customizes and defines the new wizard. In the preferred embodiment, the WizardWizard and the WizardDesigner create and specialize the target wizard from a component based Wizard framework.
