Abstract: A water tight connector has a strain relief using a circumferential clip about a cable and held in position within a hollow tubular section of a connector housing. The clip is prevented from being removed from the connector housing by a resilient grommet, thus holding the cable from being pulled out from the connector housing; and the grommet provides both fluid sealing functions and secondary cable holding functions. The connector may be filled with a grease. The grease may have anti-bacterial characteristics. The connector may be filled with an hygroscopic material, such as an encapsulant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a guidance track for an electric vehicle. The guidance track preferably includes one or more grooves formed within a dielectric material. The wheels of the vehicle fit, at least in part, in the grooves which are configured to accept the wheels of both powered and unpowered cars in the vehicle. The grooves guide and direct the vehicle as the wheels travel through the grooves.
