Abstract: Systems and methods for creating, storing, and manipulating 3D objects in a software-supported virtual environment, and furthermore automatically generating the 3D objects in a CAD software application, are disclosed. The systems and methods allow for assemblies of the 3D objects to be saved and exported, where the saved assemblies are then imported by the CAD software application. The CAD software application includes a plug-in for generating part instances corresponding to each 3D object of the saved assembly. The plug-in includes master part models that define how the part instances are represented in the CAD software application, and how each part instance is to be connected for creating the saved assemblies in the CAD software application.

Abstract: Electrical connector (8) having connector terminals (12) at a front thereof to which external electrical conductors may be secured to make electrical connections between the conductors and the first terminals (12). A mounting assembly (14) at a rear of the connector (8) receives over-voltage protection devices (18) so that these couple electrically to the connector terminals (12) for providing over-voltage protection to electrical circuits in use coupling to the connector terminals (12). A releasable mounting device (20) releasably connects of the connector (8) to support structure (22) for the connector.

Abstract: An ECG analysis system is provided that automatically scans and classifies in sequence a plurality of long term recorded patient cassette tapes by first identifying and then inserting each tape cassette into a cassette player for the analysis system, and finally removing each tape cassette from the analysis system once the analysis is complete. The system includes bar code reading and writing devices that are integrated with the analysis system to positively identify the patient associated with the tape recording. An automatic multiple cassette loader is disclosed wherein an elongated, rigid transport member having a transport slot cut along a substantial portion of its longitudinal axis is used to guide a detent armature, driven by a worm drive, in placing cassettes within a cassette player. The detent armature protrudes through said transport slot and pushes a single cassette out from the bottom of a stack of cassettes along the longitudinal axis of the transport slot and into the cassette player.
