Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes the step of providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that is accessible by users within a customer relationship management (CRM) solution. The GUI enables the users to define rules with each rule including one or more conditions and one or more associated actions to be taken upon the meeting of the one or more conditions. The method further includes receiving from a user via the GUI one or more user-defined rules; storing in non-transitory computer readable medium each received user-defined rule for later retrieval and processing; electronically receiving geospatial data acquired by a plurality of connected devices; identifying stored rules applicable to the received data; retrieving the identified rules; applying the rules to the received data; and taking the one or more actions of each retrieved rule upon the one or more conditions of the retrieved rule being met based on the received data.

Abstract: An audio system comprises a first enclosure for housing a first audio component and a second enclosure for housing a second audio component. The first enclosure includes a surface having a plurality of first structures, the first structures comprising one selected from a group consisting of a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of receptacles. The second enclosure includes a surface having a plurality of second structures, the second structures comprising the other one from the group consisting of the plurality of protrusions and the plurality of receptacles. The protrusions are configured to be inserted into the receptacles along a first direction such that the first enclosure is maintained in a first position relative to the second enclosure in the presence of a shear force that is applied in a direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: An audio amplifier and speaker system are stacked and magnetically coupled together. The audio amplifier is coupled for receiving an audio signal. A first securing assembly is provided on a bottom surface of the amplifier. The first securing assembly may be a foot formed on the bottom surface of the audio amplifier. The speaker is electrically coupled to the amplifier. A second securing assembly is provided on a top surface of the speaker. The second securing assembly may be a receptacle formed in top surface of the speaker. The foot is inserted into the receptacle. The foot and receptacle are magnetically coupled to attach the amplifier to the speaker. The foot has a first electrical connector, and the receptacle has a second electrical connector mated to the first electrical connector to route the audio signal from the amplifier to the speaker.

Abstract: An area array device has a grid array of primary electrical contacts coupled to a coupling surface of the device and configured to carry data signals between the area array package and a circuit board. The area array device also has an additional series of secondary electrical contacts coupled to the coupling surface of the device and configured to carry power signals between the area array package and the circuit board. The additional series of secondary electrical contacts provides a relatively large amount of power to the area array package while allowing a manufacturer to maintain the number of primary electrical contacts of the grid array configured to carrying data signals and therefore maintain the overall performance of the area array package.

Abstract: A heat sink has a flexure member attached to a base of the heat sink and located between the base and an associated circuit board component. As the heat sink attaches to a circuit board carrying the circuit board component, the flexure member conforms to the surface of the circuit board component, thereby thermally contacting the circuit board component. The flexure member absorbs local tolerance differences on the circuit board component to provide a relatively uniform stress across the surface of the circuit board component. The flexure member further limits the amount of stress generated by the heat sink on the circuit board component. When used in conjunction with a heat sink spanning several circuit board components, the flexure member absorbs global tolerance differences among the circuit board components, thereby providing relatively uniform stresses to all of the circuit board components and limiting the amount of stress experienced by any one circuit board component.
