A tool to facilitate attachment and detachment of cable connectors. The tool includes a backstop plate for engaging a cable connector receptacle housing, an overmold plate for engaging a cable connector being insertibly connected into a cable connector receptacle, and a rotational means passing through a rotational acceptor formed as part of the overmold plate and rotatably attached to the backstop plate. The rotational means causes the overmold plate to approach the backstop plate upon application of a first spin direction of the rotational means and causing the overmold plate to recede from the backstop plate upon application of a second spin direction of the rotational means. The overmold plate approaching the backstop plate causes the engaged cable connector to be insertibly connected into the cable connector receptacle housing and the overmold plate receding from the backstop plate causes the engaged cable connector to be removed.

Embodiments for a single user truck loader. A platform is configured to receive placement of a load. Wheels are disposed at locations of the platform. A dolly mechanism is disposed in a cavity formed in the platform. Sidewalls of the platform house the cavity. The cavity of the platform is configured to receive a lift deck of a lifting mechanism.

A pressure test apparatus is provided for performing a pressure test on a part. The method of pressure testing the includes attaching the part to the pressure test apparatus and moving down a top plate assembly of the pressure test apparatus, where the moving down of the top plate assembly engages a connection to a transducer for the pressure test and blocks a connection to an air supply to the pressure test apparatus. Furthermore, the method includes measuring a level of pressure in the part.

The embodiments relate to dynamic server drawer build plan management. Output data associated with a data source is received. A drawer build plan list and one or more inventory scenarios are generated based on the received data. At least one build plan is chosen from the build plan list, and one or more drawer design configurations are compared to at least one inventory scenario to produce a set of eligible drawer design configurations. A drawer design configuration is selected from the set for one or more respective drawer build plans based on one or more constraints. A connection is established to a computer, and information associated with each selected drawer design configuration is transmitted to the second computer.

Dynamic planning and configuration based on inconsistent supply

A method of mounting a module to a land grid array is provided. The method includes installing a tool to a fixture. The tool includes at least one alignment member and at least one cavity partially defined by the at least one alignment member. The at least one cavity of the tool is aligned with one or more corresponding sockets of the land grid array. The method further includes installing a module through the cavity such that the module is substantially aligned with the socket as it is connected to the land grid array.

Method of mounting a module to a land grid array (LGA)

A module installation assembly for installing a module into a socket of a land grid array includes a tool having a mounting bracket for connecting the tool to an adjacent fixture, an alignment member connected to the mounting bracket, and cavity defined at least partially by the alignment member. The cavity is substantially aligned with a socket of the land grid array such that the module is configured to pass through the cavity when being connected to the socket.

Module installation alignment device

A clamping apparatus applies a force to a workpiece during processing. The clamping apparatus includes a base defining a work area configured to receive a joined structure having multiple elements. The base defines a recess in the work area. An adjustable mechanism is configured to releasably couple to the base and apply a adjustable downward force to the joined structure to bend the joined structure downwardly into the recess during a process. A resilient plunger is part of the adjustable mechanism. The resilient plunger extends downwardly from a top plate of the adjustable mechanism, and the resilient plunger is configured to contact a top of a first element of the joined structure to apply the downward force.
