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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for transferring funds from ATM to ATM by performing a Debit Transfer transaction. The system provides the consumer with an alternative service for making a money transfer. Today, there is no commercial self-service electronic process in the market that enables the consumer to perform a money transfer transaction electronically directly from ATM to ATM. With Person-to-Person Debit Transfer System money can be sent from an ATM by a Cardholder and the recipient being an “unbanked” customer can pick up the funds without any type of credit card. The present invention provides a method for quick cash for emergencies for family members, business associates, students and “unbanked” customers.

Abstract: The present invention may be used for human exercise. A track assembly may have two bottom cross members attached approximately perpendicular thereto and extending approximately horizontally from each side of the track assembly. Two vertical frame members may be attached to a first end of each of the bottom cross members. A handle may be attached at an upper end of each of the vertical frame members. A seat may be disposed in an upper portion of the two vertical frame members for seating to face a second end of the bottom cross member.

Additionally, the front support member has a front vertical support member attached and an exercise grip bar is attached between the front vertical support member and the back support member. The leg beam has a pair of foot pad slides which are attached to a spring or elastic strap which are then attached a leg beam middle plate. The foot pad slides have rotatable stirrups attached to a foot pad pedestal. The exercise device may also have a front grip bar and a back grip bar attached.

Abstract: A circular or bar-type slide rule made of a durable rigid material for converting a golf handicap index into a converted playing handicap based upon the slope rating of a golf course. A method for calculating a converted playing handicap by aligning the player's handicap index value on a first logarithmic scale, locating the golf course slope rate on a second logarithmic scale so that the aligned value of the converted playing handicap may be read on the first scale.
