Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a switching device including a first and a second terminal contact, a first fixed contact arranged at the first terminal contact, a second fixed contact arranged at the second terminal contact, a slot motor comprising a first and a second motor part, a contact bridge and a first and a second movable contact arranged at the contact bridge. The first and second terminal contact can include a sandwich structure of at least a first and a second layer. The first layer is made of a non-ferromagnetic material and the second layer is made of a ferromagnetic material. The first and second motor part provide a magnetic field at the first and second fixed contact and at the first and second movable contact.

Abstract: A Foundational Framework (“the Framework”) may refer to an apparatus that connects a multiplicity of potentially very complex components, each of which produce different types of information related to financial forecast, while maintaining a distributed and federated model to allow high autonomy to each component. The innovative Framework provides a unified operation of lifecycle of every component and allows the production of unlimited types of forecasts of different dimensions and for different purposes using a common tool that is responsible of coordinating and running the sequence of components for the user's needs.
