  • Publication number: 20160293036
    Abstract: An adaptive system, method, and computer-readable medium having instructions thereon for implementing a method via a processor are provided to determine a user's level of proficiency in a specific area. In embodiments, a user's level of proficiency is determined using a machine-learning system in which the system and method adapt to the user's level, based on that user's inputted answers and other users' inputted answers, in order to create a more insightful process of determination based on the user's comprehension and other factors observed via processor.

  • Patent number: 7685702
    Abstract: A wire insertion tool for a push-in wire connector has a frame and a slide assembly mounted for reciprocating motion on the frame. The frame includes a carriage on which a push-in wire connector is mounted. The slide assembly carries a wire holder which mounts an electric wire opposite the wire connector. An actuator extends to advance the slide assembly and carry a wire in the holder in a direction parallel to the axis of the wire. Advancement of the wire holder inserts the wire into the connector. The wire holder is then released and the slide assembly is retracted to prepare for the next insertion cycle.
