Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include computer-implemented systems and methods for managing fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns. A method of managing a fundraising campaign may include launching a first fundraising campaign, determining, by a computer-implemented algorithm, a surplus amount of monetary donation, identifying a plurality of fundraising campaigns, each fundraising campaign of the plurality of a different set of fundraising campaigns comprising a second plurality of characteristics, wherein at least one characteristic of the first and the second plurality of characteristics is similar; determining a portion of the surplus amount to be distributed to the identified plurality of fundraising campaigns, the portion based on a pro-rata distribution mechanism, and generating a recommendation for a donor. Other methods of incentivizing raising donations and donating for a fundraising campaign or a crowdfunding campaign are also discussed.

Abstract: A test adapter is provided for connection to a PLCC (Plastic Leaded Clip Carrier), hereinafter referred to as a carrier, which assures accurate alignment with the carrier, which can be locked to the carrier during a test, which has a width only slightly greater than that of the carrier to enable testing of closely mounted carriers, and which can be simply constructed. The adapter includes an inner housing that bears against the top of the carrier and four contact frames pivotally mounted on the housing and carrying contacts that engage leads of the carrier. Each contact frame has separators between the contacts, the separators passing between the leads of the carrier to directly engage the sides of the carrier housing. The lower surface portions of the separators are slightly angled from the vertical so when they press against angled surfaces on the carrier housing sides, the adapter is locked to the carrier.
