Abstract: A system for reversibly converting stadiums into multifunctional infrastructure by removing the pitch and storing it in a pit (6), the pitch having a set of trays (1) having a total length equal to the pitch in a longitudinal direction of the pit, which are moveable, self-supporting and have layers of soil, irrigation and turf; a set of transport trolleys (2) for lifting and moving each tray (1) from its position on the pitch to the pit (6); a set of retractable trellises (5) that can be unfolded on the pit (6), for the entry of each tray (1) from above the pit; an elevator system (8) inside the pit (6) to move each tray to its final position, in storage, or on the pitch; and a storage system (7) for storing each tray in a fixed and stable position.

Abstract: A third rail insulator having a head assembly with a channel, and a pedestal assembly. The head assembly and the pedestal assembly are integrated as a single structure to support and isolate a contact rail assembly that supplies power to a transit vehicle. The channel is an open channel that diametrically extends along the upper section of the head assembly. The channel receives the contact rail assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) feed and an extruded member made of metal and coupled to the RF feed. The extruded member includes a first surface that includes a first slot having a first width and a first length, and a second slot having a second width and a second length. The second width is at least 1.2 times greater than the first width. The second slot intersects the first slot at an angle with respect to the first slot that is between 70 and 110 degrees.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electronic module includes providing a conductive strip and a dielectric material. The method includes coating the dielectric material and the conductive strip to form a layered structure having a conductive layer defined by the conductive strip and a dielectric layer defined by the dielectric material. The method includes applying a carrier strip to the layered structure. The method includes processing the conductive layer to form a circuit while the layered structure is on the carrier strip. The method includes removing the carrier strip from the layered structure. The method includes applying the layered structure with the circuit to an electronic module substrate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for monitoring use of a tip of a stylus, determining an amount of wear of or life remaining in the tip, and notifying a user when to replace the tip are disclosed. The tip should be replaced to avoid an abrasive material of the tip from being exposed and contacting a touch screen or other surface of a computing device to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the touch screen or other surface of the computing device. The computing device or the stylus device may perform one or more of the monitoring, determining, or prompting steps.

Abstract: A removable stylus tip for use with an active stylus. The tip is capable of exchanging electrical communications with the touchscreen of a computing device. The tip includes a conductive core to transmit signals between the stylus body and a cone-shaped end of the stylus core. The cone-shaped end is covered with a coating to protect the tip and the touchscreen device. The coating is a composite material configured to allow electrical signals to pass through the material as well as to provide mechanical protection to components of the tip and touchscreen.

Abstract: A system for magnetically coupling a stylus device to a computing device is disclosed. The computing device may include a first pair of magnets disposed in or on the computing device, wherein the first pair of magnets include two magnets proximate to each other and of opposite magnetic polarity. The stylus device may include a second pair of magnets disposed in or on the stylus device, wherein the second pair of magnets include two magnets proximate to each other and of opposite magnetic polarity. The first and second pairs of magnets are oriented to align opposite poles of the magnets to couple the stylus device to the computing device, and the magnetic interactions resist rotational and shear forces, and resist the stylus device being placed in an incorrect position on the computing device.

Abstract: An electronic stylus device includes one or more mechanisms that deform to protected an electronic force sensor. After the mechanism deforms to relieve force applied to a tip of the stylus, a hard stop may engage to arrest further movement of a shaft transferring force from the tip to the force sensor. The intermediate range of forces that may be relieved by the mechanism, in addition to providing the electronic force sensor, enables less stringent manufacturing tolerances to be used with the hard stop.
