Abstract: Test system and methods for testing a wiring harness. In one embodiment, a remote tester of the test system includes a connector member comprising a terminal end having one or more terminals configured to mate with terminals in an electrical connector of the wiring harness, and a tester control member integrated on a back end. The tester control member includes a housing that protrudes from the back end of the connector member, test circuitry electrically coupled to the terminals of the connector member, a wireless transceiver that communicates with a central controller to receive a test program, and a battery. The test circuitry performs a test on the wiring harness based on the test program, and reports test results to the central controller.

Abstract: A system for assisting in the assembly of a cable harness may include a wire insertion apparatus that includes a frame that defines a connector mounting location; a projector mount attached to the frame and positioned so that a projector held in the projector mount projects graphical information onto a connector held by the mounting location; and the projector. The system may also include a computer device in communication with the projector and comprising a module configured for: projecting, via the projector, a plurality of alignment dots onto the connector; moving the alignment dots based on a first user input; receiving a second user input that the alignment dots are aligned and, based on the second user input, determining a position and orientation of the connector; and illuminating, via the projector, one or more pin locations of the connector based on the position and orientation of the connector.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for an augmented reality vision system. A first input selecting a branch is received. Task information associated with a wire harness containing the branch is retrieved based on the first input. A second input requesting information related to inserting a wire is received. A plug map of a plug of the branch of the wire harness is generated based on the second input and using the task information associated with the wire harness. The plug map is displayed on a display system. A location of a selected wire is indicated in the plug map.

Abstract: A kit for applying stamping identification onto compact discs includes a base for supporting a compact disc, and a hand stamp with a spring loaded spindle sized to fit into a hole in the base for centering the stamp relative to the disc. The spring force on the spindle must be manually overcome to apply the stamp to the disc and helps maintain uniformity of stamping force. The stamp assembles with an inkwell unit for clean and convenient storage of both stamp and inkwell.
