Abstract: An indicator apparatus facilitates visibility of one or more indicators from multiple angles. The apparatus includes a housing having an outer sidewall portion. The sidewall portion, for example, has a first side extending between two adjacent sides. One or more elongated slots are formed in the sidewall portion. A substantially translucent material is disposed in the slot so that the translucent material is visible from more than one side of the housing, such as the first side and another side through which the slot extends. A light source is operatively associated with the substantially translucent material for illuminating the material. As a result, when the light source illuminates the substantially translucent material, the illuminated translucent material is visible from more than one side of the housing.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring a clamp arm position in a power clamp provides a sensor wheel that may fit beneath the clamp arm. A low profile sensor body abuts an edge of the sensory wheel to detect the sensor position without undue change in the power clamp or clearance about the power clamp.
