  • Patent number: 9609756
    Abstract: A method includes aligning a first portion of a magnetic core with respect to a first side of a PCB using a first alignment device. The method includes applying a first bonding material to a surface of at least one of the first portion of the magnetic core and a second portion of the magnetic core. The method further includes coupling a second alignment device that retains the second portion of the magnetic core to the first alignment device. When the first alignment device and the second alignment device are coupled, the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core are retained in a specified assembly position. The specified assembly position includes a specified gap between the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core. The method also includes curing the first bonding material.

  • Patent number: 9378485
    Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, and apparatus for healthcare configuration based on location information. An example method for location-driven configuration of a healthcare system includes receiving location information from a location device; predicting a destination of the location device based on the location information and one or more parameters associated with the location device; and communicating with a healthcare system at the destination to configure the healthcare system based on the one or more parameters associated with the location device.

  • Patent number: 8850695
    Abstract: Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly tooling and methods are provided. Particular tooling includes a first tooling fixture having a first core component receiver to receive a first portion of a magnetic core to be coupled to a first side of a PCB. The tooling also has a second tooling fixture including a second core component receiver to receive a second portion of the magnetic core to be coupled on a second side of the PCB to the first portion of the magnetic core. The tooling also has an alignment component disposed on at least one of the first tooling fixture and the second tooling fixture. The alignment component enables alignment of the first tooling fixture and the second tooling fixture. When the first tooling fixture and the second tooling fixture are aligned, the first portion of the magnetic core and the second portion of the magnetic core are aligned.

  • Publication number: 20120159324
    Abstract: Example systems, methods, and apparatus for application state capture and playback are provided. An example system includes a user interface to display an application and associated data to a user for interaction by the user. The user interface includes a player to facilitate playback of one or more saved states from the application; each of the saved state(s) includes an application setting and associated data. The player is to include a plurality of controls to facilitate selection, playback, and modification of each of the saved state(s). The player is to provide a list of saved state(s) for selection and playback by the user. The playback of a selected state is to automatically take the user to a point in the application execution associated with the application setting and associate data and to allow the user to dynamically execute the application from that point.
