Abstract: Motors disclosed herein may include a stator comprising electrical windings thereon. A stator housing at least partially houses the stator. A rotor assembly is rotatingly coupled with the stator housing and includes a rotor, which may be formed of a polymer, and a plurality of magnets coupled with the rotor. In implementations the magnets are coupled with the rotor using a friction fit or one or more snap locks, and/or without the use of glue. In implementations the rotor assembly excludes a back-iron. In implementations the stator housing is formed of a polymer. Methods of formation of a rotor are disclosed, including methods of inserting one or more magnets into slots within the rotor, including at varying angles of rotation. In implementations the magnets are organized into a Halbach array.

Abstract: A non-transitory machine-readable medium of a computing device storing an application for simulating the loading of an airframe. The application includes an airframe input module that receives an airframe file having a seat having a seat location and a bin having a bin location and a bin dimensions. The application further includes a passenger profile input module that receives a passenger profile file having a list of passenger profiles, a passenger selection module that selects a passenger from the list of passenger profiles and associates the passenger with the seat, a bag selection module that selects a bag profile from a bag profile file and associates it with the passenger, a bag placement module that simulates placing the bag into the bin based on the bin dimensions, bin location, and bag profile, and an output module that outputs and stores a simulation output associating the bag and the bin.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting and dealing with a lost electronics device are disclosed. In one design, the device may autonomously determine whether it is lost. The device may destroy at least one component to render it inoperable and may perform other actions in response to determining that it is lost. In another design, the device may determine available battery power of the device upon determining that it is lost, select at least one action in a list of possible actions based on the available battery power, and perform the selected action(s). In yet another design, upon determining that it is lost, the device may prevent access to information on the device based on a secondary security key, which is not used for encrypting information during normal operation. In yet another design, the device may notify at least one contact and may perform at least one additional action upon determining that it is lost.

Abstract: A device including a stuffed object such as a pillow, stuffed animal or stuffed toy which includes an attached tethering device which includes an attachment mechanism such as an adhesive pad or other means that can attach to a stand-alone, hand held device such as a remote control. Stuffed objects such as pillows and stuffed toys are often placed in various places as a decorative item. By tethering a stand-alone, hand held device to a stuffed object, the stand-alone, hand held device will be easily locatable because the stuffed object to which it is attached is will be easily locatable. The stuffed object can easily be passed from one person to another or carried to another location so that the stand-alone, hand held device can easily be used by different people or in different places.
