Abstract: An electrical connection assembly includes a first connector which includes a first electrical contact surrounded by a first connector wall defining a first connector cavity. The first connector wall includes a plurality of ribs extending into the first connector cavity. A second connector is matable with the first connector along a mating axis and includes a second electrical contact in electrical communication with the first electrical contact when the first connector is mated with the second connector. The second connector includes a second connector body surrounding the second electrical contact.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable which includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer, a conductive shield layer, and an outer insulation layer. An inner ferrule is positioned adjacent an end portion of the conductive shield layer that has been exposed, the inner ferrule is crimped around the core insulation layer, and the end portion is folded over the inner ferrule to radially surround the inner ferrule. An electrically conductive outer ferrule is positioned radially adjacent to the end portion and the outer ferrule is crimped radially around the inner ferrule to capture the end portion radially between the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule, thereby fixing the outer ferrule in electrical contact with the conductive shield layer.

Abstract: A fuel refill system is disclosed. The fuel refill system includes a satellite that provides location information from communication channels to a microprocessor. The location information includes a location of a vehicle and the location of one or more fuel service providers. A fuel refill communication method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention teaches associating a first image comprising pixels with a first palette such that that the first image is viewable, whereby associating the image with a second palette results in a change to the first image that may or may not be viewable in a graphical information system. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: A lamp socket for a lamp bulb having a contact base that includes a right angle/single piece plastic socket portion having a tubular part into which a metallic ring-like member is insertable and serves the dual purpose of a lamp bulb retainer as well as the ground contact for the lamp bulb.

Abstract: An improved header assembly includes means providing for improved conductor pin flexibility to accommodate forced shifting caused by support manufacturing tolerance variations or by differentials in rates of thermal expansion. A comb member is formed of a flexible material having a sufficient rigidity to retain the conductor pins in the proper position to be joined by solder joints to an array of holes in a circuit board, but is sufficiently elastic to allow the pins to shift later so as to not jeopardize the solder joints.
