Abstract: A method of manufacture of a foldable electrical connector-housing system includes: providing a first end panel having an outer first end panel side with first end panel contacts that substantially span from one edge of the outer first end panel side to an opposite edge of the outer first end panel side; providing a second end panel having an outer second end panel side, the second end panel and the first end panel with the outer second end panel side facing away from the outer first end panel side and the first end panel contacts exposed in a folded configuration; mounting an electronic component between the outer first end panel side and the outer second end panel side; and connecting a conductor to the first end panel contacts and the electronic component.

Abstract: A method of operation of a software distribution system includes: providing a compute platform; applying an ad-subsidized application in the compute platform including: providing a software application, joining advertised content to the software application for creating a subsidized software application, and installing from a customized storage device or a global communication system to the compute platform the subsidized software application; providing a display from the compute platform for displaying the ad-subsidized application; and accessing a commercial content through the display while having access to the software application.

Abstract: A method of operation of a self-locking mass storage system includes: providing storage media and an inactivity timer; timing a period of read/write inactivity of the storage media using the inactivity timer; comparing the period of read/write inactivity against a preset maximum idle time; locking access to the storage media when the period of read/write inactivity exceeds the preset maximum idle time; and, resetting the period of read/write inactivity following read/write activity while the self-locking mass-storage system is in an unlocked state.

Abstract: An information backup system [700] is provided including receiving information from a memory in a handheld device [104]; writing the information into a removable non-volatile memory [106] in an information backup device [102]; and rewriting the information from the removable non-volatile memory [106] into a different handheld device [204].

Abstract: A data security system [100] [800] [900] [1600] [2000] includes providing a unique identification from a first system [102] to a second system [104] [108]; copying the unique identification in the second system [104] [108] by the first system [102]; and unlocking a memory [122] in the first system [102] or the second system [104] [108] only when the unique identifications in the first system [102] and the second system [104] [108] are the same.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware transfer system is provided including: reading hidden computing device identification; reading computing device identification; and installing or uninstalling software only when the hidden computing device identification and the computing device identification from the computing device match or the hidden computing device identification is blank.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification system includes: supplying a radio frequency identification tag including providing a radio frequency identification transponder and writing transponder content to the radio frequency identification transponder; and feeding the radio frequency identification tag for an assembly line.

Abstract: A memory lock system (900) is provided that includes: providing a controller (212); providing a connector (204) connected to the controller (212) for providing data to the controller (212); providing a memory (216) connected to the controller (212) for receiving and storing information from the controller (212); and manipulating an input device (206) connected to the controller (212) to unlock or lock data transfer between the connector (204) and the controller (212), in the controller (212), between the connector (204) and the memory (216), or in the memory (216).

Abstract: A traffic light indicator warns the motorists and pedestrians of the remaining before the traffic light changes through a visual and pictorial display defined within the light indicators of the traffic light structure. One or more light indicators are programmed to display a selected pattern of diminishing light portions within the area of the light selected indicators, gradually expanding a no-light zone with the passage of seconds remaining before the traffic light changes.

Abstract: An automated processing system that includes providing an intelligent module with a composite connection for transmitting information and configuring the intelligent module within the automated processing system for automatic recognition.

Abstract: An automated location system that includes providing the number of rows and columns of a receptacle to the automated location system; scanning the receptacle to determine changes in reflectivity; creating an X values list and a Y values list from the scan; and determining a location for each of a cavity from the X values list and from the Y values list.
