    Abstract: An example hinged device flexible substrate testing system includes: a first plate comprising a first surface configured to hold stationary a first portion of a hinged device under test; a second plate comprising a second surface configured to hold a second portion of the hinged device under test, the second portion of the hinged device coupled to the first portion via a first hinge having a first folding radius; a third plate comprising a third surface configured to hold a third portion of the hinged device under test, the third portion of the hinged device coupled to the first portion via a second hinge having a second folding radius; a first cam follower coupled to the second plate; a first drive arm configured to move the first cam follower to cause the second plate to rotate about a first hinge pivot axis of the first hinge; a first actuator configured to rotate the first drive arm; a second cam follower coupled to the third plate; a second drive arm configured to move the second cam follower to cause the third plate to rotate about a second hinge pivot axis of the second hinge; a second actuator configured to rotate the second drive arm; and a load cell configured to measure first loads on the first plate while the first actuator moves the second plate and to measure second loads on the first plate while the second actuator moves the third plate.

    Abstract: Described herein are examples of material testing systems that allow users to select one or more customizable data parsers (from amongst several customizable data parsers) when configuring a workflow for setup, execution, and/or analysis of a test method on a material testing machine. Thereafter, when a piece of data is imported by an importation device during operation of the workflow, the selected data parser(s) can separate (or parse) out several smaller data portions from the imported data. The several smaller data portions can be mapped to different input fields and/or used to set several different (e.g., input field associated) parameters of the workflow at the same time. In this way, a material testing workflow can be made far more efficient than in conventional systems where imported data can only be used to set a single workflow parameter (and/or fill a single input field).

    Abstract: Described is packaging for a wiper blade having a blade-side connector configured to engage a wiper arm. The packaging includes an inner component to house the wiper blade and an outer sleeve component that defines a cavity. The cavity can receive at least a portion of the inner component. At least one of the inner component and the outer sleeve component includes a connector-identification feature configured to indicate a compatible arm-side connector of the wiper arm.

    Abstract: Engine-driven welding-type power supplies with portable welding units are disclosed. An example engine driven welder includes an engine, a generator configured to convert mechanical power from the engine to electric power, a chassis, the engine and the generator being mounted to the chassis, and a welding power supply configured to receive the electric power from the generator and convert the electric power to welding-type power, wherein the chassis is configured to physically hold the welding power supply, the welding power supply is physically separable from the chassis, and the welding power supply is connected to be able to receive the electric power when the welding power supply is separated from the chassis and when the welding power supply is connected to the chassis.
