Abstract: The present invention may be used for human exercise. The apparatus for human exercise may have a support frame having two interior frame members spaced apart and positioned generally vertical with two side frame members spaced apart from and generally parallel to the two interior frame members. An upper cross member may be attached at an upper end and a lower cross member may be attached at a lower end of the two interior frame members and the two side frame members. A right kick arm element and a left kick arm element may be rotatably attached to the support frame and a kick board may be attached to the two interior frame members.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a housing supporting a plurality of terminals for a primary circuit and at least two terminals for a sensor circuit. A mating header includes terminals corresponding to the primary circuit and to the sensor circuit. A conductive link is disposed in either the housing or the header to short the sensor terminals disposed therein. Once the mating components of the connector are attached, the sensor circuit is completed through the conductive link and an indication of a proper connection can be verified.

Abstract: A method for soaking a device in an automated testing system, includes setting a temperature control device to a first temperature, exposing the device to the temperature control device, and driving the temperature control device to a second temperature. The temperature transition rate from the first temperature to the second temperature is derived from a first natural decay rate. The first natural decay rate is based on a first-order thermal response of the device when the device is suspended in free air. The second temperature of the temperature control device is relative to a set point temperature so that when the device is socketed for testing, the temperature of the device settles at the set point temperature.
