A floating bus bar connector connects a computing asset to bus bars using a connecting clip and a conducting terminal that is coupled to the connecting clip and to an electronic component inside the computing asset.

A refrigerator appliance having Universal Serial Bus (USB) features is provided. In one aspect, a refrigerator appliance has a cabinet defining a chamber. At least two shelf mounting tracks are disposed within chamber. A shelf having a USB port is mountable to the shelf tracks. The shelf tracks each include at least two bus bars. One bus bar is charged with a power charge, one is charged with a ground charge, one is charged with a positive data charge, and one is charged with a negative data charge. When the shelf is mounted to the tracks, the bus bars are in electrical communication with the USB port of the shelf such that data transmissions can be routed between the USB port and a controller or some other processing device. In another aspect, a refrigerator appliance includes features for enabling USB data transmissions to a bin mounted in a door thereof 1. An appliance comprising:a cabinet defining a chamber;a door coupled to the cabinet to provide selective access to the chamber; a first bus bar electrically charged with at least one of a power charge and a ground charge; and', 'a second bus bar electrically isolated from the first bus bar and electrically charged with at least one of the power charge and the ground charge;, 'a first track disposed within the chamber of the cabinet, the first track comprising a first bus bar electrically charged with at least one of the positive data charge and the negative data charge; and', 'a second bus bar electrically isolated from the first bus bar of the second track, the second bus bar of the second track being electrically charged with at least one of the positive data charge and the negative data charge; and, 'a second track disposed within the chamber of the cabinet and spaced from the first track, the second track comprisinga shelf having a universal serial bus port and mounted to the first track and the second track such that the first bus bar and the second bus bar of the first track and the first bus bar and the ...
