  • Publication number: 20240313446
    Abstract: A number of board-to-board array connectors are described. An example connector includes a receptacle assembly and a plug assembly. The receptacle assembly includes a receptacle housing and a receptacle interface assembly. The plug assembly includes a plug housing and a plug interface assembly. The plug interface assembly includes a plug contact blade having a cantilevered blade beam. The cantilevered blade beam can be centrally positioned within the plug contact blade in one example. The cantilevered blade beam can be cantilevered toward a contact blade end of the cantilevered blade beam and extends toward a mount end of the cantilevered blade beam. The receptacle interface assembly includes a receptacle contact having a pair of contact beams. The cantilevered blade beam is configured to bend as the pair of contact beams electrically contact and slide along surfaces of the cantilevered blade beam.

  • Publication number: 20170211272
    Abstract: A construction method and apparatus used to form a surround, container or other structure. Posts have slots into which walls, which may be planks or made up of planks, are inserted and retained. Numerous posts may be used with numerous walls therebetween to form many and varied structures. The finished structure is modular, because the posts and walls are not damaged when the walls mount in the slots. Therefore, if more or fewer posts and/or walls are desired later, one need merely disassemble the structure and add the components desired to the existing structure. The walls may have fittings that attach to the inserted ends that cooperate with structures in the slots formed in the posts so the walls are held from being removed from the slots except along the length of the slots.

  • Publication number: 20160315804
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and systems that uniquely identify hardware entities and applications within a computing environment. This is done by (1) using retrieved data set that describe the attributes of the computing environment hardware entities; (2) applying strategies that combine attributes of real and virtual hardware entities to identify each hardware entity within the retrieved data set; (3) using retrieved data set that describe the attributes of the computing environment software entities; (4) applying strategies that identify combine attributes of software entities installed on a hardware entity; (5) providing merge strategies that allow values of the attributes of hardware entities to be modified but retain an existing hardware entity identifier; (6) providing merge strategies that allow values of the attributes of applications to be modified but retain an existing application identifier.

  • Publication number: 20150254779
    Abstract: A method that includes storing claim records for patients. Each record stores (a) personal information associated with one of the patients, and (b) claim information received from a claim data provider. The claim information stored in some of the records was submitted to different insurance companies. The claim information stored in some of the records was received from different claim data providers. A member identifier is automatically generated for each of the records as a function of a portion of the personal information stored in the record, and the record is associated with the member identifier. A member identifier is automatically generated as a function of a portion of personal information associated with a particular patient. A record associated with the same member identifier generated for the particular patient is identified and a portion of the claim information stored in the identified record is forwarded to a recipient insurance company.
