Abstract: A power distribution system has a plurality of interlockable elongated power distribution modules each including an insulative housing formed from two matable insulative housing portions enclosing a plurality of elongated conductors. Each housing portions includes an elongated rib and groove structure along an edge thereof for engaging a corresponding rib and groove structure of an adjacent power distribution module thereby allowing modules to be joined together. Each module includes a plurality of electrical connection stations disposed along the housing and electrically connected to insulation-free regions of at least some of the conductors by the spanning prongs of electrical connector terminals. Certain stations receive electrical receptacles and other stations receive power jumpers to supply electrical energy to and from the module.

Abstract: An article of furniture includes a support having a support surface. A plurality of air bladders are mounted relative to the support surface, each air bladder having expandable foam therein. At least one fluid line fluidly couples the air bladders together. A single valve is fluidly coupled with the at least one fluid line.

Abstract: An article of furniture includes a support having a support surface. A plurality of air bladders are positioned relative to the support surface, each air bladder having expandable foam therein. At least one fluid line fluidly couples the air bladders together. A single valve is fluidly coupled with the at least one fluid line. A contoured cushion has an inner contoured portion generally conforming to said plurality of air bladders. The plurality of air bladders are mounted between the support surface and the contoured cushion.

Abstract: A portable electrical unit including a body, a cavity in the body, a cavity access opening in the body, a door attached to the body for selectively opening and closing said cavity access opening, at least one extensible member slidably received in the body and movable between a retracted position and a range of extended positions for securing the portable electrical unit intermediate a pair of spaced apart surfaces, all of the extensible members being resiliently biased in substantially the same direction and a distribution unit mounted in the body including at least one receptacle. The portable electrical unit may be secured in position intermediate a pair of spaced apart surfaces such as the floor and underside of a desk, or an upper desk or shelf surface and a higher shelf under-surface by one or more extensible members which are slidably received in the body and movable between a retracted position and a range of extended positions.

Abstract: An electrical distribution assembly includes a distribution block having a first electrical connector. A distribution member includes a second electrical connector, with the second electrical connector mating with the first electrical connector. A retainer clip is separate from each of the distribution block and the distribution member. The retainer clip mechanically couples with and prevents electrical decoupling of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.

Abstract: A conduit elbow assembly includes a hollow conduit piece having an end with an outer diameter, a body and a cap. The body has a first connective end with an end bore at the first connective end receiving the hollow conduit piece therein. A male fitting is located at the first connective end, the male fitting having an outer surface and an end which extends into the end bore. The outer surface of the male fitting has barbs which engage and retain the end of the hollow conduit piece thereon. The cap is attached ton the body and has a plurality of tapered projections, of which two are diametrically opposed to each other relative to the outer diameter of the hollow conduit piece. The two tapered projections form a wedge fit with the outer diameter of the hollow conduit piece.

Abstract: A keyboard assembly includes an integral keyboard device having a keyboard pad support, a keyboard pad, and a wrist rest. An attachment assembly attaches the integral keyboard device to a work surface.

Abstract: A method of performing a dielectric voltage-withstand test on a wire harness having a plurality of conductors includes applying voltage simultaneously to a first subset of the conductors. The first subset includes at least two of the conductors. An electrical characteristic of each of the conductors excluded from the first subset of conductors is measured. The applying and measuring steps are repeated for at least one additional subset of the conductors. It is decided whether the wire harness passes the test based upon at least one of the measuring steps.

Abstract: An electrical distribution system includes a structural member having an electrical distribution chamber therein. A rigid conduit is positioned within the electrical distribution chamber, and includes two longitudinally opposite ends, at least one side wall extending between the ends, and a keyed electrical connector at each end. At least one side wall has an indentation therein. An electrical transmission element which is separate from the rigid conduit passes through the indentation.

Abstract: An electrical data distribution system includes a housing with two end surfaces and at least six low profile side surfaces. The two end surfaces have an absence of connector cut-outs, and each of the side surfaces has at least one connector cut-out. At least one multi-pin electrical feed connector is disposed within a corresponding one of the cut-outs in a corresponding one of the side surfaces. Each feed connector is configured for connection with a multi-conductor data feed cable. A plurality of multi-pin electrical break-out connectors are associated with a plurality of the side surfaces. Each pin in each break-out connector is electrically connected with one of the pins in a corresponding feed connector. Each break-out connector is disposed within a corresponding one of the cut-outs. The break-out connectors are disposed on different side surfaces than each feed connector. Each break-out connectors is configured for connection with a workstation.

Abstract: An electrical outlet assembly includes an electrical receptacle having a body with a face. At least one female plug is associated with the face, and at least two exposed terminals are associated with each plug. Each exposed terminal is connected with and carried by the body. A cover is separate from and removably coupled with the electrical receptacle and substantially entirely covers at least one exposed terminal.

Abstract: A re-wired electrical assembly with multiple keying arrangement has channel-shaped raceways which receive plug receptacles. Electrical contacts are disposed in each of the plug receptacles and are selectively oriented in one of a plurality of predetermined positions. Jumper cable assemblies including two plugs electrically coupled by an intermediate cable are used to join a pair of channels having plug receptacles therein. Terminals are disposed in each of the plugs and are selectively oriented so as to mate with corresponding contacts in the plug receptacles. The keying arrangement prevents improper connection between the plugs and plug receptacles. Specifically, the keying arrangement includes guide members molded on the interior surface of bores surrounding each contact in the plug receptacles. Slotted sleeves enclose the terminals, and a slot mates with at least one of the guide members in the plug receptacle.
