Abstract: A device and method are disclosed for optimizing self-power consumption. The device may sense one or more operating conditions of the device. The device may further select one or more operating parameters associated with at least one of the one or more operating conditions. The device may also estimate a power consumption associated with executing an algorithm to generate at least one updated value for at least one of the one or more operating parameters as well as estimate a power savings associated with operating using the updated value. The device may compare the estimated power consumption to the estimated power savings and determine whether to execute the algorithm based on the comparing.

Abstract: A power converter and a method of operation thereof is disclosed including an input, an output, a sensor unit, a switched power converter, and a processor module. The power converter may convert an input power into an output power. The power converter may sense real-time measurements of the input power and the output power to determine a real-time calculated efficiency. The power converter may chop the input power into sized and positioned portions of the input power based on a plurality of determined operating parameters. The power converter may determine the operating parameters based on the real-time calculated efficiency and on a plurality of other operating factors/conditions.

Abstract: A printable form for correspondence and organized filing is disclosed comprising a sheet of material of predetermined size wherein a portion is scored to define a printable tab that extends outward from the sheet of material when the scored portion is removed, providing for faster, more organized, and efficient filing and retrieval of information.

Abstract: A suspendible container for holding items that is capable of being attached to holes on a horizontal surface. The container is particularly adaptable to being attached to the top cap of a ladder. The container includes at least one prong which attaches to the container and is removably insertable into a hole in the horizontal surface. The container is particularly suited for holding items such as tools and paint cans that would be needed by the user of a ladder.

Abstract: A container closure which can be converted from a child resistant configuration to a non-child resistant configuration. The container closure includes an external cap, an internal cap and a locking element. The locking element is inserted between the external cap and internal cap to form the non-child resistant configuration.
