  • Publication number: 20140309600
    Abstract: Leak location devices and methods of using leak location devices that can be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a leak location device can include a microphone for detecting sound pressure produced by a leak. Detected sound pressure can be compared to a threshold, which can correspond to background or ambient sound pressure. Background or ambient sound pressure can correspond to sound produced by a negative pressure source. The leak detection device can include a display configured to visually depict the detected sound, and a light source which creates a visual depiction of the coverage angle of the microphone.

  • Publication number: 20070019415
    Abstract: A new and unique LED-based floodlight is provided having an LED light module and a control module. In operation, the LED light module responses to one or more control signals from the control module, and provides an LED array of light having a broad beam pattern from side-to-side with a selected lamp color, brightness, or some combination thereof; while the control module responds to one or more user inputs from a user, and provides the one or more control signals for operating the LED array module in order to provide the LED array of light having the broad beam pattern from side-to-side with the selected lamp color, brightness, or some combination thereof. The broad beam pattern of the LED array of light effectively has a lumen output of about 200 lumens that is equivalent to a 35 watt halogen floodlight output of the same angle.

  • Publication number: 20050056643
    Abstract: A folding storage bin is positionable between an open position and a closed position via a drawstring. A plurality of side members are attached to an exterior side of a liner, and a drawstring is threaded through the side members and the liner. In the open position, pulling the drawstring brings the side members into a facing relationship disposed substantially end-to-end. In a preferred arrangement, the liner is sized and shaped such that in the closed position, a flexible pocket is formed between adjacent ends of the side members. The pockets prevent small parts from falling out of the corners of the bin and help to prevent smaller items from getting caught in the bin corners, which would prevent the bin from closing properly.
