Abstract: One embodiment of a lockable utility box lid (20) for a utility box enclosure (10) comprises a box lid (12) having at least one upper tool aperture (22) and at least one clamping mechanism (30) coupled to the underside of the box lid (10). The clamping mechanism (30) includes at least one lower tool aperture (38) of a lock plate (32) oppositely corresponding to the upper tool aperture (22) of the box lid (12). The lock plate (32) may be coupled to a plurality of side plates (40). The clamping mechanism (30) may also include a pivot arm (60) coupled with a jaw plate (72). A pivot tab (34) of the lock plate (32) may be inserted through a pivot tab aperture (76) of the pivot arm (60) thereby creating a fulcrum point. A back plate (50) inserted into a plurality of back plate apertures (52) of the side plates (40) and a threaded plate (64) inserted into a plurality threaded plate apertures (68) of the pivot arm (60) may be aligned to receive a bolt (80).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of providing information regarding a patient's use of medications, the method including the step of providing a graphical icon relating to the medication, the graphical icon including at least one indicator relating to the patient's use of the medication. The least one indicator preferably provides information such as dosage information, duration information, compliance information, and impression information.

Abstract: A tagged water-soluble polymer linked to a solid support is provided and includes a solid support optionally including a spacer sequence including one or more spacer monomer units attached to the solid support; and a water-soluble polymer covalently linked to the solid support or to the spacer sequence, the water-soluble polymer including a first cleavage segment including at least one monomer unit including a selectively cleavable link to the solid support or to the spacer sequence, where cleavage of the selectively cleavable link separates the water-soluble polymer from the solid support, a second segment including at least one monomer unit selected from a monomer unit linked to a reactive functionality able to be covalently coupled to a tag or linked to a tag, a third segment including one or more monomer units linked to a reactive functionality that can form a covalent bond with an analyte-binding species or an analyte, and optionally one or more spacer monomer units provided adjacent to any segment and/o

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for reducing energy waste. One aspect of the present invention provides an electrical adapter designed to mate with a pre-existing electrical outlet. The adapter includes a plurality of outlets along a surface thereof. At least one primary outlet is provided, the primary outlet controlling peripheral outlets so that when the power drawn by a device plugged into the primary outlet drops below a predetermined threshold, the power to the peripheral outlets is interrupted.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hydroelectric device including generally a base portion with a top surface, a bottom surface, and opposing sidewalls defining an interior space of the base portion. The interior space of the base portion is such that it is wider near the ends of the base portion and narrower in the interior of the base portion, essentially forming a venturi. The base portion also includes a central slot along a longitudinal axis thereof. The present invention further includes a wheel support portion fixedly attached to the base portion, a wheel portion rotatably attached to the wheel support portion and having a plurality of blades extending from a center thereof, and an electrical generator operably engaged with the wheel portion.
