Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing a process of manufacturing a product. In one aspect, the method comprises repeatedly performing the following: i) selecting a configuration of input settings for manufacturing a product, based on a causal model that measures causal relationships between input settings and a measure of a quality of the product; ii) determining the measure of the quality of the product manufactured using the configuration of input settings; and iii) adjusting, based on the measure of the quality of the product manufactured using the configuration of input settings, the causal model.

Abstract: A panel-mounted electrical power outlet receptacle for receiving a power plug to transfer current from circuitry located at the rear of the panel. The receptacle has a molded plastic body of tubular open-ended configuration, with an integral transverse wall intermediate its ends. A first double-ended metal terminal post is molded into said transverse wall and projects into both open ends of the body, the ends of the post being respectively receivable in sockets of cooperable separable fittings that are receivable in the body ends. There is a second double-ended metal terminal post in the form of a stamping, which is carried by the transverse wall of the plastic body. It also projects into both open ends of the body. The transverse body wall has an opening through which the second terminal post extends, and there is a snap locking construction on the plastic body and the second terminal post, which is activated upon insertion of the second terminal post in the wall opening.
