A connector for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector includes a jaw and a relief. The jaw has a first member and a second member both depending from a support member and spaced from one another by a distance. The distance is larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The relief is defined on first member and/or second member. The jaw is deformably compressible onto the flexible busbar upon application of a deformation force on the first and second members so that the flexible busbar conforms to the at least one relief to form an electrical and mechanical connection.

A separable clasp connector is provided that has first and second parts that are pivotable with respect to one another by a die set. The clasp connector includes one or more die alignment features to ensure proper alignment with the die set so as to apply an unlocking force in a predetermined direction. Die sets and methods also provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position.

Separable clasp connectors and die sets and methods for locking and unlocking such connectors

Die sets and methods are provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position. The method can include the steps of obtaining a first part and a second part each having a connector body and a connector barrel; interconnecting the connector bodies of the first and second parts without locking the first and second parts to one another; and pivoting the first and second parts with respect to one another in a first direction until the first and second parts are mechanically and electrically connected to one another.

A fastener includes a head, a shaft, and a pressure pad. The head has an outer surface for engaging a drive tool. The shaft has an outer surface including a threaded portion. The pressure pad has a breakaway portion with a torque limit connecting the pressure pad to the shaft.

Customer-used objects, such as tabletops, dinnerware, and retail racks, are impregnated with an accelerometer, a processor, and a Bluetooth chip. Taping or knocking such an entity by alerts a worker of a requested service. The accelerometer captures vibration data associated with the tapping or knocking and sends that data to the processor. The processor recognizes the gesture's vibrations. Finally, a recognized gesture will command the Bluetooth chip to send an alert to the server. The invention prevents a customer from second-guessing possible orders or purchases and allows an employee to become more efficient, thus saving time money.
