Abstract: Mechanical integrity sensors are provided to detect occurrence of an out-of-tolerance force on a component, such as a circuit board. The mechanical integrity sensor includes a light-blocking container and a light collector disposed within the light-blocking container. The light-blocking container includes a breakable panel. The breakable panel fractures with a force on the breakable panel indicative of the out-of-tolerance force on the component. Fracturing of the breakable panel allows light into the light-blocking container, and the light is collected by the light collector as indicative of the occurrence of the out-of-tolerance force on the component.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical fuse is provided and includes a chassis component, an extrusion disposed on a monitored component which is disposable proximate to the chassis component and a sensor. The sensor is mounted to the chassis component. The sensor is mechanically breakable in power-on and power-off conditions by the extrusion as a result of a predefined action of or relative to the monitored component. The sensor electrically signals an occurrence of the mechanical breakage during power-on conditions following mechanical breakage.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a fracture ring sensor and a method of using the same to detect out of tolerance forces. Aspects of the invention include a product having a defined an out of tolerance force, a fracture ring sensor, and a mounting assembly coupling the fracture ring sensor to the product. The fracture ring sensor is patterned with a conductive trace and is manufactured to break when subjected to a predetermined amount of force. The predetermined amount of force is substantially equal to a percentage of the out of tolerance force of the product.

Abstract: A method for execution of an engineering change announcement is provided. The method is implemented by an application stored on a memory of a device. The application includes program instructions executable by a processor of the device, which is in communication with a backend system. The method includes receiving an engineering change announcement query. The method includes retrieving a query result from the backend system in response to the engineering change announcement query. The method includes determining whether the query result identifies that the engineering change announcement exists with respect to the engineering change announcement query. The method includes providing the query result when the query result identifies that the engineering change announcement exists with respect to the engineering change announcement query. The method includes receiving a selection input with respect to the query result. The method includes executing the engineering change announcement in accordance with the selection input.

Abstract: A fully integrated, low maintenance, manually operated beverage container compacting system featuring a free-standing, user powered, enclosed, beverage container compactor and storage receptacle. The compactor includes a self retracting puncture mechanism to release pressure due to air and liquids in sealed containers prior to their compacting. The storage system includes double trap doors with gaskets to create a sealed storage receptacle that reduces odors. A first top trap door includes a rubber gasket to prevent liquids from being expelled out of the compactor; and a bottom trap door is configured for capturing escaped liquids. The bottom trap door is actuated into an open state at an end of a crushing stroke to drop the container into the storage receptacle after captured liquids have drained into a liquid capture container for improved cleanliness. A self reset mechanism renders the system to an initial state for a next user after compacting.
