Abstract: A power connector assembly includes a busbar having a mounting surface and openings extending into the busbar being open at the mounting surface and power contacts arranged in a power contact array electrically connected to the busbar. Each power contact includes a main body, a first compliant pin extending from the main body, and a second compliant pin extending from the main body. The first compliant pin is received in the corresponding opening of the busbar to electrically connect the power contact to the busbar. The second compliant pin is configured to be received in a plated via of a printed circuit board to electrically connect the power contact to the printed circuit board. The power contact array mechanically and electrically connects the busbar to the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An eyebrow cover has a primary layer, an adhesive layer, an adhesive release liner, and a top release liner. The primary layer may be flexible so as to conform to an eyebrow and the structure of a user's face. The primary layer may be shaped so as to surround the eyebrow, minimizing excess coverage on the face while protecting the microblading procedure. Further, the adhesive layer may surround a non-adhesive portion of a lower surface of the primary layer. To protect the eyebrow cover, the adhesive release liner may releasably adhere to the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A system for cutting marine grasses, weeds and other plant life to protect a propeller drive watercraft is disclosed. An adjustable, protective cutting edge to protect a propeller, drive shaft of a boat or other watercraft motor is further disclosed. A propeller protection device to mount upon a watercraft is further disclosed for optimizing the navigation of watercraft and reducing in-piloting maintenance of clearing plant matter from a propeller of a watercraft.

Abstract: A system for simulating in situ drilling and treatment conditions on a core sample from a subterranean formation. The system re-creates various subterranean loads and temperatures on a test sample representative of actual in situ conditions from the particular formation while a test structure within the system performs drilling activities on the core sample using drilling and treating under evaluation for use in the particular subterranean formation. Thus, the impact on selected drilling and treating fluids can be evaluated as well as the impact those fluids had on a sample from the subterranean formation under in situ conditions.

Abstract: A method of processing a handover request from a base station controller (BSC) of a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication)-type network. The method comprises the steps of passing a handover request with GSM-type parameters from a base station controller (BSC) through a Master Switching Center (MSC) of the GSM-type network to a UMTS core network (CN) and to a Radio Network Controller (RNC) of the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network, translating the GSM-type parameters to UTRAN parameters in the Radio Network Controller (RNC), and allocating UTRAN resources in response to the translated parameters.

Abstract: A document curation system facilitates finding previously-created objects, such as text and charts, in electronic business documents, such as word processing documents and slide presentations files stored in documents of a separate document storage system. The document curation system enables a user to search for objects, without a priori knowledge of which documents might contain the objects. The system presents found objects, as well as objects that are similar to the found objects, and allows the user to select one or more of the presented objects. The system harmonizes display aspects of the user-selected objects and generates a new document from them. A user can query the document curation system, and the system accesses an index, which stores normalized versions of objects from the document storage systems to fulfill the query.

Abstract: An electronic component in a vehicle tire condition monitor system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a processor. The first antenna is oriented at an angle with respect to the second antenna. Both of the antennas are capable of receiving RF signals transmitted from a sensor associated with a respective tire of the vehicle. The RF signals represent a condition of the respective tire. The processor receives the RF signals transmitted by the sensor from at least one of the antennas. The first and second antennas receive the condition signals from any of a plurality of the sensors associated with respective tires on the vehicle.
