Abstract: Coupling an outer covering to a frame of an appliance. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are devices including a frame member of an appliance (the frame member defines an outer portion and a first ridge feature on the outer portion, the first ridge feature has a length along the frame member, a height, and a flat contact portion that defines a width), an outer covering member in contact with the contact portion of the first ridge feature, and an adhesive disposed between the frame member and the outer covering member proximate to the first ridge feature (the adhesive adhered to the frame member and the outer covering member). For at least a portion of the length of the first ridge feature, a thickness of the adhesive is the same as a height of the first ridge feature.

Abstract: A strain measurement chip including a body, a strain gauge provided within the body, and electrical contacts with which the strain measurement chip can be mounted to a circuit board, at least one of the electrical contacts being in electrical communication with the strain gauge to enable communication of strain data measured by the strain gauge to the circuit board.

Abstract: A wireless card adapter including a body portion having a proximal end and a distal end and including mounting holes formed adjacent the proximal end, and brackets extending from the distal end of the body portion configured to receive a half mini card and mounting holes that align with mounting holes of the half mini card when the half mini card has been slid along the brackets until the half mini card contacts the distal end of the body portion, the mounting holes of the brackets being configured to receive fasteners that secure the half mini card to the adapter.
