Abstract: An integrated system and method, used by students and post-secondary educational institutions, allowing for a bi-directional exchange of information. The information going from the student to the post-secondary educational institution being credentialing and demographic in nature: age, GPA, test scores, interest, course of study, community service, extracurricular activity, and the like. The information going from the post-secondary educational institution to the student being degree requirements, course, cost per credit hour, extracurricular and sporting activities, cultural activities, fine arts activities, physical facilities, demographics, geographic, and meteorological.

Abstract: An integrated system and method, used by a post-secondary educational institution such as a college or university, that tracks the aggregate student population's progress towards reaching their chosen degree at said educational institution. Degree requirements are reduces to a set of combined algebraic and Boolean expressions that, when met, indicate the student has met the graduation requirements. The student's transcript is used to populate the expression, allowing an analysis of still needed coursework. The system and method comprises aggregating all of the completed coursework for the post-secondary educational institution's current student population, to allow the institution to plan curriculum.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include one or more contacts and a contact substrate. The contact may include a wadded wire element and a sleeve. The electrical connector may be used to connect a first electrical component to a second electrical component. The electrical components may be integrated circuit chip packages, printed circuit boards, wire contacts, headers, and wiring harnesses. The contact which includes the sleeve is able to provide more electrical power at a given temperature than the contact which includes the wadded wire element but not the sleeve. The sleeve may include an element retention feature. The element retention feature may help retain the wadded wire element within the sleeve. The sleeve may include a sleeve retention feature. The sleeve retention feature may help retain the sleeve within the contact substrate.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include a shroud and a harness connector. The harness connector is disposed within the shroud. The harness connector may include at least one aperture. The electrical connector may include at least one electrical contact disposed in the at least one aperture. The electrical connector may include a cam arm operatively engaged with the harness connector wherein pivoting of the cam arm will move the harness connector with respect to the shroud. The cam arm may pivot between an upper position wherein the harness connector is fully raised within the shroud and a lower position wherein the harness connector is fully lowered in the shroud.

Abstract: The electronic control enclosure includes devices and methods for removing heat energy from the electronic components of an electronic control unit. The components are mounted to a substrate and are protectively housed in an interior chamber of an environmentally sealed enclosure housing. Electrical communication is established with the components via a header assembly that includes plug receptacles. To remove heat generated by the components from the enclosure housing, one or more heat sinks are disposed through the enclosure housing such that the heat sinks have an interior surface exposed to the interior chamber and an exterior surface exposed to the exterior of the enclosure housing. In other embodiments, the enclosure housing may be made of a heat conductive material and the heat sink is integral with the enclosure housing. In one aspect, a spring urges the components against the interior surface. In another aspect, the components are mounted to and directly contact the interior surface.
