    摘要: An improved cable routing fastener is provided. The cable routing fastener includes a base portion having an integral torsion element and includes a clip, for example a fir-tree clip, integrally joined to the torsion element. The torsion element includes first and second torsion bars on opposing sides of the rotatable clip, such that clip is rotatable relative to the base portion from a first position to a second position in response to an applied torque. The clip extends laterally outward from the base portion in the first position and extends downward from the base portion in the second position. The base portion and the clip are co-molded in the first position as a unitary article, with the clip being manually rotatable into the second position for attachment to an object, for example a vehicle panel or a vehicle pillar.

    摘要: An aiming device is provided including an illumination device and an optical element wherein the illumination device projects a primary dot and at least one secondary alignment dot distal from the primary dot to aid a user in obtaining a view of the primary dot when the aiming device is in an aligned mode, the primary dot is visible within a field of view of the user, but the secondary alignment dot is not visible. When the aiming device is in a misaligned mode, the secondary alignment dot is visible to the user, but the primary dot is not. The secondary alignment dot provides instruction to the user to realign the aiming device relative to the field of view of the user so that the aiming device transitions to the aligned mode. A related method of operation is provided.

    摘要: A method for the automated recovery of rare earth permanent magnets from electric machines are provided. The method includes identifying electric machines in a mixed product stream for performing a unique robotic disassembly routine. Electric machines that are not identified are diverted to a robot training station, during which time the system and the method include implementing a suitable disassembly routine. A conveyor delivers the remaining electric machines to a rotary platform having multiple stations for the simultaneous disassembly of multiple electric machines. Permanent magnets are removed from the electric machines and are then sorted for recycling operations.

    摘要: An authentication method for a telecommunications system comprising a computer network and a telephone network that includes receiving, at an Authentication System across the computer network, data indicative of an authentication request. The request is typically made by a provider in connection with a user (e.g. by a provider to obtain authentication from a user as the result of an authentication trigger detected by a provider system). A telephone call is establishing by the telephone network between the Authentication System and a telephone device with a telephone number associated with the user. A PIN is received from the user at the Authentication System during the telephone call. It is then determined if the received PIN is valid. The authentication request is authenticated if the PIN is determined to be valid.

    摘要: A stock assembly and related method are provided. The stock assembly can include a base that can be joined with a weapon and a butt portion that movably extends from the base so the stock assembly can be adjusted in length. The stock can include an adjustment limiter configured to stop extension of the butt portion at a predetermined length, which can be set by a user to fit their stature. The butt portion can include a longitudinal axis and a limiter surface offset at an angle relative to the axis. The adjustment limiter can be a wedge that wedges against the limiter surface to set the stock assembly at the predetermined length, thereby automatically setting that length in a consistent and repeatable manner. A lock, separate from the adjustment limiter, can selectively lock the butt portion in a fixed position as or after the stock assembly attains the predetermined length.

    摘要: An archery bowstring weight is provided including a sleeve that is encapsulated and suspended at least partially within an overmolded polymeric body forming an exterior of the bowstring weight. The sleeve can be a metal body, such as a ring, that floats or moves inside the polymeric body when the bowstring vibrates to dampen vibration of the bowstring. The sleeve can be isolated or separated from the bowstring by an inner wall of the polymeric body that is disposed between the bowstring and the sleeve when the weight is installed on the bowstring. The oscillation of the sleeve inside the overmolded polymeric body also can attenuate string oscillation and reduce string noise. A related method is provided.

    摘要: An adaptor system to facilitate use of eyewear with an audio processor for a cochlear hearing implant. The system includes an audio processor adaptor configured to mount to the audio processor and an eyewear adaptor configured to mount to the eyewear. The audio processor adaptor and the eyewear adaptor can be selectively connected to join the eyewear and the audio processor. The audio processor adaptor may include an ear hook portion that allows the audio processor to be worn over a wearer's ear even when separated from the eyewear. The adaptor system may be provided as a kit including a plurality of audio processor adaptors configured to mount to different audio processors and/or a plurality of eyewear adaptors configured to mount to different eyewear. The adaptors may include universal connectors that allow any audio processor adaptor to be interconnected with any eyewear adaptor.

    摘要: Provided is a cured product using a composition that is capable of quick curing at low temperatures while having sufficient pot life at room temperature, a method of producing the same, a laminate, and an optical device. A method of producing an organopolysiloxane cured product is provided. The method includes: (i) performing, without irradiating with high-energy radiation, a hydrosilylation reaction upon a composition containing a first hydrosilylation reaction catalyst that exhibits activity in the composition and a second hydrosilylation reaction catalyst that does not exhibit activity when not irradiated with high-energy radiation, but exhibits activity in the composition when irradiated with high-energy radiation, to obtain a thickened material that is fluid at room temperature or a thermoplastic material that is non-fluid at room temperature but exhibits fluidity at 100° C.; and (ii) irradiating the thickened material or thermoplastic material obtained in step (i) with high-energy radiation to obtain a cured product.
