Abstract: An aspect of the disclosed embodiments is a system for printed circuit board (PCB) outline generation including at least one processor configured to receive one or more electronic PCB design files defining a PCB design. The at least one processor is also configured to process the one or more electronic PCB design files to distinguish physical features of the PCB design from non-physical (auxiliary) features of the PCB design. The at least one processor is also configured to generate an estimated physical outline for the PCB design that encompasses the physical features and excludes the auxiliary features. The at least one processor is also configured to electronically store the estimated physical outline in association with the PCB design. Other aspects are included.

Abstract: An aspect of the disclosed embodiments is a method for printed circuit board (PCB) component placement comprising: graphically displaying, on a display device, PCB design features of a PCB design; and providing a user interface control for designating one or more of the PCB design features as electrical contacts for a first selected electrical component. Other aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: A system includes a first and second condensation particle counter, each counter having an inlet port, a growth column, and an optical element for counting particles detected at the respective inlet ports. The counters are configured to include a wick in which the wick is wetted by water. A differential pressure sensor is coupled to the first inlet port and coupled to the second inlet port. The sensor is configured to provide a pressure signal. A processor is coupled to memory and configured to receive the first signal, the second signal, and the pressure signal and generate an output corresponding to a ratio of the first signal and the second signal and correlate the ratio with the pressure signal. A housing is configured to receive the first counter, the second counter, the differential pressure sensor, the processor, and the memory.

Abstract: A portable door securement device is provided having a member extending from a first end engaged to a doorknob of a swinging door or endwall of a sliding door. A second end of the securement device is configured to be engaged with a support surface adjacent the door, to prevent opening of the door in a direction toward the engaged member.
