Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board and an electrical connector having a connector housing holding contacts in a contact array. The connector housing has a mating end configured to be mated with a mating electrical connector in a mating direction. The electrical connector has cables terminated to the contacts and extending from a cable end. A connector mount is used to locate the electrical connector relative to the circuit board. A bracket is coupled to the mounting surface of the circuit board. A biasing member is coupled to the bracket and the mounting feature and is compressible along a compression axis parallel to the mating direction to allow the electrical connector to float in the mating direction relative to the circuit board.

Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes an electrical connector mounted to a circuit board having a connector housing holding contacts in a contact array. A connector mount having a bracket is coupled to the mounting surface of the circuit board proximate to the mating edge. The electrical connector is movably coupled to the connector mount to move relative to the circuit board during mating with the mating electrical connector. The connector mount has a biasing member compressible along a compression axis parallel to the mating direction to allow the electrical connector to float in the mating direction relative to the circuit board. The electrical connector is movably coupled to the connector mount in a confined envelope in at least one floating direction perpendicular to the mating direction.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes wafer assemblies coupled to a housing. Each wafer assembly includes a leadframe, a wafer body holding the leadframe, and a ground frame coupled to the wafer body to provide electrical shielding for the leadframe. Each leadframe has signal contacts with mating ends extending from the wafer body for mating with mating signal contacts of a mating electrical connector. The mating ends are twisted 45° to define twisted mating interfaces. Each ground frame has ground shields extending from a ground plate along the mating ends of the signal contacts. The ground shields are twisted 45° relative to the ground plate to define twisted shield zones along the mating ends of the signal contacts.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for training at least one policy using a framework for encoding human behaviors and preferences in a driving environment. In one example, the method includes the steps of setting parameters of rewards and a Markov Decision Process (MDP) of the at least one policy that models a simulated human driver of a simulated vehicle and an adaptive human-machine interface (HMI) system configured to interact with each other and training the at least one policy to maximize a total reward based on the parameters of the rewards of the at least one policy.

Abstract: Examples of a waistband for a garment are disclosed. The waist band includes a front portion for covering at least a portion of an abdomen of a wearer, a back portion for covering at least a portion of a lower back area of the wearer, a first inner panel extending from a front central line at the front portion to a back central line at the back portion, a second inner panel extending from the front central line at the front portion to the back central line at the back portion, and at least one bonding adhesive panel bonding together the back portion with the first and second inner panels. The inside of the disclosed waistbands are seamless.

Abstract: A jewelry device having interchangeable ornaments is provided. A main base of the device has a recess adapted to receive a removable ornament. The main base has a flange formed on an interior of the top side within the recess. The flange retains an ornament and prevents it from falling out of the top of the device. A securing door is attached to the bottom side of the main base. The securing door has a top side facing the recess and a bottom side opposite the top side. The securing door is movable between a closed position substantially in contact with the main base and an open position. A leaf spring is attached to the top side of the securing door. The spring is adapted to bias against a removable ornament disposed in the recess when the securing door is in the closed position and thus prevent it from rattling, becoming misaligned, or falling out. The device also contemplates the use of multiple ornamental inserts for disposal within the recess of the main base.
