Abstract: A connector for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector includes a jaw and a relief. The jaw has a first member and a second member both depending from a support member and spaced from one another by a distance. The distance is larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The relief is defined on first member and/or second member. The jaw is deformably compressible onto the flexible busbar upon application of a deformation force on the first and second members so that the flexible busbar conforms to the at least one relief to form an electrical and mechanical connection.

Abstract: A separable clasp connector is provided that has first and second parts that are pivotable with respect to one another by a die set. The clasp connector includes one or more die alignment features to ensure proper alignment with the die set so as to apply an unlocking force in a predetermined direction. Die sets and methods also provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position.

Abstract: Die sets and methods are provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position. The method can include the steps of obtaining a first part and a second part each having a connector body and a connector barrel; interconnecting the connector bodies of the first and second parts without locking the first and second parts to one another; and pivoting the first and second parts with respect to one another in a first direction until the first and second parts are mechanically and electrically connected to one another.

Abstract: The spatial data analysis system for processing spatial data comprises a statistical analysis module (20) and a convolutional neural network (30). The statistical analysis module (20) calculates a discrete two-dimensional spatial distribution (V(k,l)) of at least one statistical measure derived from said spatial data. The spatial distribution defines a statistical measure value of one or more statistical measure for respective raster elements (R(k,l)) in a two-dimensional raster for the data elements derived from the spatial data in the spatial window associated with the raster element. The convolutional neural network (30) is configured to provide object information of objects based on the statistical data.

Abstract: A terminal connector for connecting to a conductor, the terminal connector including a conductor portion, a lug portion and a terminal insert extending into the conductor portion. The terminal insert receives the conductor. The terminal insert includes one or more inwardly extending coating piercing members. The one or more coating piercing members are capable of penetrating non-conductive coatings on the conductor.
