Abstract: A system and a method for providing a virtual assortment interface of components in inventory in an e-commerce environment is disclosed. The system creates the virtual assortment interface corresponding to a storage device having a plurality of drawers, each drawer including multiple compartments for storing components therein. The virtual assortment interface presents a virtual assortment of the components in the inventory and provides data corresponding to the number of the compartment, type of the component, serial number and available quantity of the components in each compartment. The system allows a user to view one or more drawers on the virtual assortment interface, select the components and add the components in a shopping cart for executing a purchase transaction. Upon executing the purchase transaction, a retailer or distributor fulfils the purchase by shipping the components to the user.

Abstract: An iron is provided including a soleplate having a first surface configured to press a fabric and deliver wrinkle releasing steam, a first plurality of steam exit holes formed in the soleplate, each of the first plurality of steam exit holes connected to an associated first steam channel formed in the first surface and connected to a centrally disposed steam channel formed in the first surface, a second plurality of steam exit holes formed in the soleplate connected to an associated second steam channel formed in the first surface connected to the centrally disposed steam channel, each of the second plurality of steam exit holes disposed symmetrically to an associated one of the first plurality of steam exit holes on an opposite side of the centrally disposed steam channel, and the centrally disposed steam channel extending substantially an elongated length of the soleplate, The soleplate further includes dimples over the majority of the soleplate not covered by the steam channels.

Abstract: The fries and condiment holder is a combination of two open containers. The larger of the two open containers provides the user with a place to store a food item found at fast food restaurants such as French fries. The smaller of the two open containers is attached to the larger container by a nontoxic adhesive because the present invention makes contact with edible food. The smaller container provides the user with a place to store a condiment. The smaller container is also collapsible and can be flushed into larger container. The user obtains the present invention with the food item in the larger container and with the small container collapse. The user can choose to expand and fill the smaller container with a condiment if the user wants to dip his/her food item in the condiment.

Abstract: A bulk amorphous metal magnetic component has a plurality of laminations of ferromagnetic amorphous metal strips adhered together to form a generally three-dimensional part having the shape of a polyhedron. The component is formed by stamping, stacking and bonding. The bulk amorphous metal magnetic component may include an arcuate surface, and an implementation may include two arcuate surfaces that are disposed opposite each other. The magnetic component may be operable at frequencies ranging from between approximately 50 Hz and 20,000 Hz. When the component is excited at an excitation frequency “f” to a peak induction level Bmax, it may exhibit a core-loss less than “L” wherein L is given by the formula L=0.0074 f (Bmax)1.3+0.000282 f1.5 (Bmax)2.4, said core loss, said excitation frequency and said peak induction level being measured in watts per kilogram, hertz, and teslas, respectively.

Abstract: A bulk amorphous metal inductive device includes a magnetic core having at least one low-loss bulk ferromagnetic amorphous metal magnetic component forming a magnetic circuit having an air therein. The component has a plurality of similarly shaped layers of amorphous metal strips bonded together to form a polyhedrally shaped part. The device has one or more electrical windings and is easily customized for specialized magnetic applications, e.g. for use as a transformer or inductor in power conditioning electronic circuitry employing switch-mode circuit topologies and switching frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 200 kHz or more. The low core losses of the device, e.g. a loss of at most about 12 W/kg when excited at a frequency of 5 kHz to a peak induction level of 0.3 T, make it especially useful at frequencies of 1 kHz or more.
