An artificial intelligence diagnosis system includes a diagnosis model responsive to data received from a plurality of sensors. Each of the sensors is a part of an input channel further including a converter operative to process the received sensor data. A system manager is provided and is operative with an allocator to selectively distribute sensor data to the converters. The system manager operates with the converters such that a converter which is allocated with the sensor data processes the allocated sensor data and inputs the processed sensor data into the artificial intelligence diagnosis model. A converter which is not allocated with the sensor data generates virtual sensor data according to an instruction of the allocator and inputs the virtual sensor data into the artificial intelligence diagnosis model.

A low insertion force contact terminal which has a conductor mating portion, a securing portion and a substrate mating portion. The conductor mating portion is configured to terminate a conductor therein. The securing portion is configured to secure the terminal in a terminal receiving cavity of a housing. The substrate mating portion extends from the securing portion. The substrate mating portion has at least two sections which have curved portions thereon. At least one embossment is provided on a first section of the at least two sections or a second section of the at least two sections. The curved portions of the at least two sections move independently, which allows the curved portions to exert a low normal force on walls of through holes of a substrate to which the contact terminal is mated. The low normal force is sufficient to provide a stable electrical connection.

A part inspection system includes a vision device configured to image a part being inspected and generate a digital image of the part. The inspection system includes a part inspection module communicatively coupled to the vision device and receiving the digital image of the part. The part inspection module includes an image quality module. The image quality module analyzes the digital image to determine if the digital image achieves a quality threshold. The image quality module generates an image quality output based on the analysis of the digital image. The part inspection module includes an image classifier module. The image classifier module analyzes the digital image to classify the image as a defective part or a non-defective part.

An electrical connector has a housing with a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces. A first wall extends between the front surface, the rear surface and the side surfaces. A second wall extends between the front surface, the rear surface and the side surfaces, the second wall having a radiused reference surface. An alignment projection extends from the radiused reference surface in a direction away from the first wall. Compression clips extend from the side surfaces. The compression clips have bases, beams and a latching projections, with the beams extending at angles relative to the side surfaces.

A terminal detection platform for detecting terminals on a terminal strip includes a base, a first and second feeding rail mounted on the base, and at least one detection mechanism installed on the base. The first feeding rail and the second feeding rail extend parallel to each other in a first direction to define a feeding channel therebetween through which the terminal strip carrying the terminals is conveyed along the first direction. At least one of the first feeding rail or the second feeding rail is movable relative to the base such that a width of the feeding channel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is adjustable. The at least one detection mechanism is adapted to detect the terminals on the terminal strip passing through the feeding channel to determine whether the terminals are qualified.

A hybrid silicone composite for high temperature insulation applications is disclosed. The hybrid silicone composite is formed of a mixture of liquid high consistency silicone rubber and solid high consistency silicone rubber and a thermally decomposable inorganic filler which are compounded together. The compounded material is then injection molded, over molded, compression molded, cast, laminated, extruded, calendered, adhered or dispensed. When the silicone composite is exposed to a high temperature, it forms an inorganic composite and maintains its insulating properties and dimensional stability.

A cap for an electrical connector comprises a first cap body defining a first portion of a first circular opening, and a second cap body defining a second portion of a first circular opening. The second cap body is hingedly connected to the first cap body and movable between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, first and second portions of the first cap body and the second cap body define a circular opening sized to receive a conductive cable therethrough.

A connector includes a housing having a contact receiving passageway extending through a mating end of the housing in a longitudinal direction and a contact disposed in the contact receiving passageway. The housing has a window extending through a wall of the housing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The contact has a mating section disposed at the mating end and a contact section extending from the mating section. An exposed portion of the contact section is exposed to an area exterior of the housing through the window.

A robotic labeling system includes a package locating system, a package identification system having a scanning device configured to scan an identification tag on the package to identify an orientation of the package in the labeling station, and a label application system including a label printer and a label applicator. The label printer prints at least one label for the package. The label applicator includes a multi-axis robot having an arm movable in three-dimensional space. The label applicator has a portrait end effector coupled to the arm configured to transport the label from the label printer to the package in a portrait orientation. The label applicator has a landscape end effector coupled to the arm configured to transport the label from the label printer to the package in a landscape orientation. The label applicator is operated based on the orientation of the package in the labeling station as determined by the scanning device.
