Abstract: A system provides training by automatically transmitting learning activities or tasks to an individual during the day. In one embodiment, this is done over the Internet by transmitting as a series of limited content mini-lessons to an individual's computer, wireless phone, or personal digital assistant so that the individual learns faster and more completely by being prompted to perform simple learning tasks throughout the workday. Each lesson or guided practice range in duration from 15 seconds to approximately 5 minutes or less, depending on content requirement. In one embodiment, mini-lessons and follow-up activities are designed to be integrated into the learner's daily experiences without requiring the learner to significantly deflect attention from his or her normal responsibilities or activities.

Abstract: The machine is designed for the semi-manual preparation of a portion of an insulated and electrically shielded multi-conductor cable (12) for receiving a connector thereon. The machine (10) includes a holder (72) for receiving a portion (14) of the cable (12), a die assembly (96) for cutting off at least one side edge portion of the cable (12) to create at least one set back edge portion (20) in alignment with at least one conductor (15A) in the cable (12) adjacent the set back edge portion (20), a grinding wheel (52) for removing an insulating surface coating (30) of the cable (12) situated above an electrical shield (34) in the cable (12) and laterally of the set back edge portion (20) to expose a strip (32) of shield (34), and a scoring blade (64) for scoring the strip (32) of electrical shield (34) adjacent one edge (36) of the strip (32).
