| 20110296342 | TRANSLATING OVERLAPPING STATES INTO REPRESENTATIVE STATES - A computer application program can comprise multiple overlapping states associated with functionality or components of the application program. Simultaneous output of all such states can be impractical. Representative states can be defined in terms of the statuses of individual states relevant to a particular representative state. Additionally, representative states can be ranked, where multiple representative states that share the same ranking can overlap with each other, but not with other representative states. To avoid transitioning between states too quickly, and presenting output for too short a time, hysteresis mechanisms can be applied in the form of a set delay, a reset delay or a combination thereof. The duration of the set and reset delay can be established independently of each other and independently for each state. The output can be in accordance with the representative state associated with the current statuses of individual states, accounting for selected hysteresis mechanisms. | 12-01-2011 |

Preferably, the housing has a plurality of quick-disconnect contacts each disposed in one of the housing slots. Further, a cover, may be coupled to the housing, and the housing may comprise a top portion and a bottom portion. A strain relief member, may be disposed between the cover top and bottom portions. A plurality of cables extend through the channels disposed in the strain relief members and are attached to the housing quick disconnects. A latching spring assembly that may comprise two latching springs is coupled to the housing and attaches the power cable connector to a receptacle connector, such as a right-angle or straight board connector. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20090023330 | Systems For Electrically Connecting Processing Devices Such As Central Processing Units And Chipsets - A cable assembly for electrically connecting processing devices may be provided. The cable assembly may include a cable such as a flat flexible cable. The cable may include a plurality of electrical leads at a first and second end. The electrical leads at the first end may be mounted to a respective contact in a first electrical connector. Similarly, the electrical leads at the second end may be mounted to a respective contact in a second electrical connector. The cable assembly may further include respective first and second clamps that may positioned at each end of the cable. The first and second clamps may be used to secure the first and second electrical connectors to a substrate of processing device. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20090017652 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SYSTEM HAVING A CONTINUOUS GROUND AT THE MATING INTERFACE THEREOF - A connector interface may include an arrangement of contacts in a first connector, and a corresponding, complementary arrangement of contacts in a second connector mating with the contacts of the first connector. The contacts may be signal contacts or ground contacts. When the connectors are mated, a ground may be established between the connectors by the mating of the ground contacts from the respective connectors. The ground contacts in the first connector may be shaped to bridge together an array of ground contacts in the second connector when the connectors are mated. Such bridging tends to establish a continuous ground along the array of ground contacts, creating a more robust ground than in an otherwise identical connector. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100076806 | Inventory management tool using a criticality measure - A computer system for an inventory management tool using a criticality measure is disclosed. The computer system has a memory, at least one input device, and a central processing unit in communication with the memory and the at least one input device. The central processing unit calculates an amount of existing inventory for one or more parts used to produce a product and determines a lead time to receive the one or more parts. The central processing unit also determines a build time to produce the parts into the product and receives a criticality measure for the product, the criticality measure indicating an order time for delivering the product. Further, the central processing unit adjusts a supply chain process for the parts based on the lead time, the build time, and the criticality measure. | 03-25-2010 |
