Abstract: A system and method of the present invention, in at least some embodiments, provides such a solution for determination of the boundaries of a parcel through a calculable solution, which is also operable when multiple units within a parcel are owned by different entities. The solution features calculation of a centroid that also features altitude. Optionally, the centroid is calculated as a single three dimensional (3D) centroid. Alternatively, it is calculated as a two dimensional centroid and then the third dimension is calculated separately.

Abstract: A stylus comprises a first part extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end being arranged to provide a tip for engagement with a touch screen device. A second part is moveable relative to the first part to vary a transverse displacement of the second part relative to the first part. A sensor incorporated within the first part and arranged to provide an output signal indicative of the displacement; and electronic circuitry is arranged to provide a signal to the touch screen device based on the sensor output signal.

Abstract: An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes a first and second capillary sample-receiving chambers and first and second stop junctions that are disposed between the first and second capillary sample-receiving chambers. The first stop junction defines a discontinuity boundary of the first capillary sample-receiving chamber and the second stop junction defines a discontinuity boundary of the second capillary sample-receiving chamber. In addition, the first stop junction and the second stop junction are disposed such that bodily fluid sample flow between the first capillary sample-receiving chamber and the second capillary sample-receiving chamber during use of the analytical test strip is prevented.

Abstract: A console switch assembly for appliances provides a rotatable electronic switch having a rotational range constrained by a cutout in the control panel to which the switch is mounted. The cutout most simply may be a sector of a circle having a different angular range which constrains a projecting tooth on the shaft of the switch or knob attached to the shaft of the switch.

Abstract: A J-tail construction of a flexible interconnect between a membrane switch and auxiliary circuit boards allows for the elimination of an electrical joint between the membrane switch and the connector for circuit board orientations desirable in appliance manufacture.
