Abstract: A method for personal identification number (PIN) unlock in automated wireless communication device testing is disclosed. The method comprises initially pairing a wireless communication device undergoing automated testing with a Bluetooth-enabled microprocessor using a media access control (MAC) address and loading, by a host computer, an image file into the Bluetooth-enabled microprocessor. The method also comprises pairing the wireless communication device with the Bluetooth-enabled microprocessor based on the MAC address in response to the wireless communication device requiring the PIN and broadcasting, by the Bluetooth-enabled microprocessor, the PIN until the PIN is received by the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is unlocked using the PIN and undergoes at least some of the automated testing after being unlocked.

Systems and methods of the various embodiments may provide a battery housing including a rolling diaphragm seal disposed between an interior volume of the battery and an electrode assembly within the battery. Various embodiments may provide an air electrode assembly including an air electrode supported on a buoyant platform such that the air electrode is above a surface of a volume of electrolyte when the buoyant platform is floating in the electrolyte.

Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.

Abstract: A spinal interbody device (IBD) includes a solid wall that at least partially defines a boundary of the IBD and a porous body connected to the solid wall. The porous body includes a plurality of sections that form at least a portion of both a superior and inferior bone interface side of the IBD. Each section of the porous body has a different porosity than an adjacent section such that the porosities increase toward a center of the IBD.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a pet litter comprising a composition comprising 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol. The present invention further relates to methods and uses of a composition comprising 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol in pet litters, in particular for promoting in-litter elimination by pets.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a cover configured for installation over a connector mounted on a printed circuit board and operable to couple a module to the printed circuit board, the cover comprises a lower surface for contact with the printed circuit board and a slot for receiving the module for attachment of the module to the connector. The cover encloses contacts at the connector for mating with the module and the printed circuit board to prevent corrosion of the contacts.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an optical module comprising a first end for insertion into a network device and a second end extending from the network device when the optical module is inserted into the network device, and a thermal protective layer extending over a portion of the second end of the optical module, the thermal protective layer preventing direct contact with an external surface of the optical module during removal of the optical module from the network device. The thermal protective layer exposes a portion of the external surface of the second end of the optical module to allow heat to be released from the external surface of the optical module.

Abstract: A toy building brick system includes a base brick having a cubic shape such that the base brick comprises six outer walls. The base brick has an open interior and each of the outer walls comprises a female receiver such that six female receivers are formed in the base brick. In this manner, the base brick defines an all-female brick. A plurality of inserts is provided and each of the inserts is removably engaged with one of the female receivers such that an outer surface of each of the inserts faces outwardly of the open interior.

Abstract: A toy building brick system includes a brick having an outer surface. The outer surface includes a plurality of outer walls. A plurality of male connectors is mounted on the brick. Each of the male connectors is engageable with a female connector of a different toy building brick. The brick is configured to only be capable of engaging with female connectors. The brick is devoid of female connectors such that the brick is incapable of direct engagement with male connectors.

Abstract: A fault processing subsystem of an electronics assembly, senses an alarm state at an output of a first power distribution element of multiple power distribution elements arranged in a hierarchy in the electronics assembly. The first element is at a level of the hierarchy other than the top level, and the alarm state corresponds to an output of the first element being different than an expected output of that element. The fault processing subsystem commands, in response to the sensing the alarm state, the first element to disable via a control input to the first element. In response to the fault processing subsystem thereafter sensing an alarm state at the power output of the commanded element, the fault processing subsystem commands an element at the next higher level in the hierarchy from the first element to disable.

Abstract: A building brick base assembly includes a plate having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The top side is planar and the plate has an opening extending therethrough. A plurality of male interconnection members is integral to and extends upwardly from the top side. A plurality of female interconnection members is integral to the bottom side of the plate. The male and female interconnection members are configured to releasably engage bricks from a building brick system. A panel has a perimeter edge and the panel is pivotally coupled to the plate adjacent to the opening. The panel is positionable in a closed position closing the opening or a deployed position exposing the opening.
