    Abstract: A technique for managing cost reduction projects which reduces costs of an assembled product is described. The assembled product includes a plurality of subcomponents. The technique includes determining a best of the best (BOB) assembled product containing least cost subcomponents and ensuring that the total cost of the BOB assembled product is less than or equal to a market based target cost of the assembled product. The market based target cost is a cost at a point in time in the future which takes into account a profit margin of the assembled product. The technique also includes receiving forecast data for the plurality of subcomponents composing the assembled product and calculating cost savings for each of the least cost components introduced into the assembled product utilizing the forecast data. Each least cost component introduced into the assembled product defines a cost reduction project. The technique also includes ordering the cost reduction projects according to their corresponding calculated cost savings.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding structure has conductive parts for blocking propagation of electromagnetic interference, whereof at least one has an appendage or an edge configuration that is shaped so as to bite into the edge of the other of the conductive parts, such as along a narrowing groove. The appendage or edge can have a structure resembling an insulation displacement connector, but is arranged to engage the edge of a sheet-like or planar shielding element, as opposed to biting into an insulated wire. The connection achieves both electrical and mechanical connection between the parts, preferably thereby completing at least part of a shielding enclosure.

    Abstract: An alignment mechanism for establishing line-of-sight alignment between a transmitter (100) and a receiver (102) has, a laser pointer (300) that emanates a laser beam along a line-of-sight to illuminate the receiver (102) with a bright spot. An unmodulated reflector (304) at the receiver (102) reflects the emanated laser beam for return path transmission toward the laser pointer (300) to confirm alignment of the line-of-sight with the receiver (102). The transmitter (100) is aligned substantially along the line-of-sight and is fixed in position. A shutter in the form of a chopping wheel (400) modulates the emanated laser beam. The receiver (102) is linked to a communications apparatus (500) having an external antenna (502).

    Abstract: A cable guide and trough device for preventing the over-bending of cables, fibers, and/or wires generally comprises a plurality of links each having a base and a pair of opposing sidewalls defining a passageway for guiding the cables. The links are connected at pivots located at the ends of the links to permit rotation of the links about an axis perpendicular to the base. This rotation is limited by the abutment of the respective sidewalls of adjacently connected links. Preferably, the sidewalls are bowed into the passageway so that a substantially smooth inner curve is achieved when the device is fully flexed.

    Abstract: Determining how to prioritize cost reduction projects for replacing subcomponents composing an assembled product with new subcomponents is described. To this end, forecast sales data for subcomponents composing the assembled product is received. Utilizing the forecast sales data, a cost savings schedule for subcomponents of costs saved by introducing the new subcomponents is then determined. The total cost savings for each cost reduction project is then calculated. The cost reduction projects are then ordered according to their respective total cost savings to determine which cost reduction projects should be pursued.

    Abstract: Determining a particular product mix of old and new products to either minimize stranded inventory of old unique sub-components composing the old product or to minimize cost savings by phasing out the old unique sub-components of the old product is described. When a new product costs the same or more than the old product, a product mix which minimizes stranded inventory is determined. To this end, a liability on inventory of old unique sub-components at a number of build out quantities including the total number of product units to produce is determined. Additionally, a number of old products to produce is selected to correspond to a point where the liability on inventory of old unique sub-components is constant between consecutive build out quantities in order to reduce stranded inventory. When a new product costs less than the old product, a product mix which maximizes cost savings is determined. To this end, a liability on inventory of old unique sub-components at a number of build out quantities including the total number of product units to produce is determined. An economic buildout plan which indicates cost savings resulting from replacing the old product with the cheaper new product at the number of build out quantities including the total number of product units to produce is also determined. A number of old products to produce is selected to correspond to the maximum cost savings as indicated by the largest value in the economic buildout plan.
