Abstract: Apparatus and methods for displaying dynamic electronic data are provided for a computer-based display system. The apparatus includes a display, a frame within the display for displaying the data and a measure along a first frame axis for indicating a value of the displayed data. Entity display areas, each containing one entity defined by five data points, are displayed within the frame in non-overlapping, fixed positions along a second frame axis. The five data points include: a current data point, represented by a marker and indicting a current value of the entity in the display, first and second end data points of a first data range relating to the entity, represented by a first range marker, and first and second end data points of a second data range relating to the entity, represented by a second range marker. A label associated with the entities is also displayed in a fixed position with respect to the entity display areas.

Abstract: An insulation displacement contact (IDC) strain relief cap is employed to interconnect a wire with an electrical contact. The electrical contact has a bifurcated end to engage and retain a wire and may be engaged with the strain relief cap. The cap contains notches, some of which fit on retaining cams that are attached to the electrical contact while others serve as wire exit holes. The cap fastens onto the clip once the retaining cams engage the notches and once the wire is aligned with the appropriate exit hole.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for cutting circuit board panels utilizing an in-line cutting mechanism. As the panel is transported into the cutting mechanism, adjustable rails are moved into position to properly guide the panel into the cutting head. The actual cutting operation is performed by transporting the panel between an upper cutting disk blade and a lower cutting disk blade. The distance between these two blades is adjustable and permits precision cutting of the panel with minimal stress to the circuit board and its components.
