  • Publication number: 20250141132
    Abstract: A substrate includes a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. A plurality of first edge pins are positioned proximate the first edge, where a first subset of the first edge pins is positioned at a first distance from the first edge, and a second subset of the first edge pins is positioned at a second distance from the first edge different than the first distance. A plurality of second edge pins are positioned proximate the second edge, where a first subset of the second edge pins is positioned at a first distance from the second edge, and a second subset of the second edge pins is positioned at a second distance from the second edge different than the first distance, thereby providing a connector having a staggered pin arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10237208
    Abstract: Facilitating replying to received email messages includes presenting a selectable set of fast reply tokens that correspond to snippets of multimedia content, providing a mechanism to superimpose a selected subset of the fast reply tokens on to different portions of the received email message to compose an annotated email messages, wherein the fast reply tokens are separate from any reply email text, and sending the annotated email message. The fast reply tokens may include action icons, status icons, emoticons, emojis, expressive elements, clip art, highlighters, geometric shapes, arrows, short tunes, audio clips, video clips, abbreviated standard texts, and freehand notes. Facilitating replying to received email messages may also include providing cultural adaptations and localization of fast reply tokens based on a setting provided by a recipient of the annotated email message.

  • Patent number: 10039208
    Abstract: A cage can include a thermal plate positioned so as to be aligned with a bottom of a channel. An adjustable biasing system is provided to urge a module toward the thermal plate. The adjustable biasing system may be a riding heat sink. The thermal plate may include a fin to help increase its surface area. A housing with a card slot aligned with the channel can be provided in the cage to provide a receptacle that has a card slot aligned with the channel. A receptacle so configured allows for greater thermal energy to be removed from a module.
