Abstract: A system and method of generating insurance risk samples and for comparing hypothetical and real insurance premiums of different insurance companies is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more rating factors are defined and have a plurality of possible values at least partially defining an insurance risk. Values for the one or more rating factors are selected according to a predetermined distribution. The selected values are then used to generate sample risks, calculate sample premiums for the risks, and/or compare sample premiums for different types of insurance policies.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector assembly includes a coaxial cable comprising a conductive braid, and a primary shield coupled to the cable and in electrical contact with the conductive braid. The primary shield defines a three sided enclosure surrounding the cable, and a secondary shield defines at least a portion of a fourth side of said enclosure and is electrically connected to the conductive braid.

Abstract: A conductive structure and method of manufacturing therefor includes a plurality of stacked metal laminates secured to one another via an intermetallic bond made from a metallic bonding agent.

Abstract: An electrical connector for mating with a plurality of contacts separated from one another by a nominal pitch value includes an array of contact surfaces having a first dimension measured in a direction perpendicular to a mating direction between the plurality of contacts and the array of contact surfaces. The first dimension is greater than the nominal pitch value, thereby assuring electrical contact between the contacts and the contact surfaces despite an actual deviation from the nominal pitch.

Abstract: A cable connector is provided. The cable connector includes a connector housing having a cavity for receiving a contact along an axis, and the cavity has a protrusion therein. The protrusion extends through the axis so that as the contact is inserted into the cavity along the axis, the contact is deflected by the protrusion until the contact moves past the protrusion into a locked position. The contact has a body section with at least one wing extending therefrom. The wing contacts the protrusion as the contact is inserted into the cavity along the axis causing the contact to rotate about the axis.

Abstract: The invention provides for an electrical connector including first and second housings having mating ends configured to be joined with one another and retain contacts that are joined when the first and second housings are mated. The first and second housings each have a reception end receiving a dielectric subassembly carrying an electrical cable connected to contacts. The dielectric subassemblies are aligned along a longitudinal axis and mate with one another when the first and second housings are mated. The first and second housings each have a hatch proximate a corresponding reception end that closes the reception end and engages a rear wall of the dielectric subassembly. At least one of the hatch and rear wall have a loading protrusion that engages another one of the hatch and rear wall to create a load force along the longitudinal axis to maintain the dielectric subassemblies fully mated with one another.

Abstract: A system and method of generating insurance risk samples and for comparing hypothetical and real insurance premiums of different insurance companies is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more rating factors are defined and have a plurality of possible values at least partially defining an insurance risk. By generating random numbers that are used to select the values of these parameters, a user can generate sample risks, calculate sample premiums for the risks, and/or compare sample premiums for different types of insurance policies.

Abstract: Compounds of 1-(adamantyl) amidine and their use in the treatment of conditions generally associated with abnormalities in glutamatergic transmittion.

Abstract: A system for powering at least one of electronic devices or a battery includes a pneumatic supply source and an accumulator for storing a collected amount of the pneumatic supply. A pneumatically powered generator is connected to the accumulator for generating power upon receipt of the pneumatic supply. The generator is further connected to at least one electronic device and a battery. A microprocessor controls a storage amount of pneumatic supply within the accumulator, determines an output of the pneumatic supply to the generator, and applies an electrical output of the generator to at least one electronic device, a battery, or both an electronic device and a battery. The pneumatically powered generator is an electromagnetic generator having a rotor cavity separated by a wall of the generator housing from a stator and related magnetic disc.
