Abstract: A repositionable insulator housing for an angle connector formed from first and second housing sections that are joined together. Each housing section has an exterior surface and a base portion that includes an end wall, a pair of opposing side walls and a back wall. Each of the end walls and pairs of opposing side walls extend from the back walls to form open sides and open ends of the housing sections. When the two housing sections are joined together, the base sections form an enclosure with a pair of apertures in opposing walls. The two housing sections enclose an angle connector so that the open sides correspond and the first open ends form an opening in the housing. The pair of apertures are aligned and adapted to receive an elongated metal rod and the opening in the housing is adapted to receive a conductor.

Abstract: A memorialization wristband jewelry includes an elongated semi-flexible metal plate strip having an top surface and a lower surface and a paint material applied in a generally even layer to the top surface of the metal plate strip. A memorialization image is formed in the paint material, the memorialization image being formed by removal of specific selected areas of the paint material from the top surface of the metal plate strip and the metal plate strip is then formed into a generally arcuate shape which approximates the outer circumferential shape of the human wrist whereby the memorialization wristband is wearable on the wrist of a person.

Abstract: A downstream baseline optical signal generated by a baseline optical link is combined with a second optical signal generated by an additional optical link to generate a broadband optical signal. A fiber optic network splits the broadband optical signal to a plurality of fiber drops. An optical network termination unit receives the broadband optical signal from the fiber drop and isolates the downstream baseline optical signal and the second downstream optical signal from the broadband optical signal. An upstream baseline optical signal may also be transmitted through the fiber drop by the optical termination unit. The optical termination unit does not effect baseline optical service to any other optical termination unit in the fiber optic network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a media converter comprises a power interface that extracts power from a communication medium coupled to the media converter for powering the media converter. In another embodiment, a connector comprises a first media attachment interface to physically attach a first communication medium to the connector and a second media attachment interface to physically attach a second communication medium to the connector. The connector further comprises a mounting interface to physically attach the connector to a structure. The connector communicatively couples the first communication medium and the second communication medium. The connector processes management data communicated over at least one of the first communication medium and the second communication medium.

Abstract: A pocket closure device for facilitating retention of and access to items placed in a pocket. Specifically, certain embodiments of the present invention comprise an elongate resilient member disposed along a pocket and attached to a front panel of the pocket and to an outer surface of a bag. The elongate resilient member acts to bias the front panel against the outer surface of the bag such that the panel may be quickly and effectively accessed in a single movement. The biased nature of the front panel of the pocket also enables quick and automatic closure of the pocket to secure pocket contents.

Abstract: A combination of a wet wipe and container includes a container defining an interior chamber and a container indicia disposed on the container. A first wipe is sized for storage inside the container interior chamber and adapted to clean waste from a body, the first wipe including a substrate having a moisture content greater than 10%. A first wipe indicia is disposed on the first wipe substrate. Each of the container and first wipe indicia includes a common visual element to provide information to a consumer that cross-references between the wipe and the container.

Abstract: A locking handle device capable of securely engaging complementary handle components and preventing their disengagement except upon deliberate actuation of a release element. A release element may be integral with the base portions of the handle such that application of an inward force to opposing release elements may transfer a substantially vertical and transverse force to the locked handles, thereby effectively disengaging complementary handle components.

Abstract: A device capable of quickly and easily stabilizing a load with respect to an associated cart or carrier to facilitate load transport.

Abstract: An ergonomic rocking chair that maximizes circulation and relaxation while minimizing spinal pressure and other physical discomforts. The ergonomic rocking chair facilitates quick and easy assembly and disassembly, and may be selectively stabilized and/or adapted to perform ancillary functions.

Abstract: The present invention features a ergonomically designed and structured golf bag top and club separator. The golf bag top and club separator comprises a perimeter support member having integrally formed tiered sections both along its longitudinal and lateral axes, a wood complex, an iron complex located opposite from and offset below the wood complex, and a plurality of strategically placed dividers therein to provide vertical disposition and segregation of wood-type golf clubs. Through its unique design, the present invention provides vertical segregation of the wood complex, thus providing optimal positioning, travel, access, and retrieval of golf clubs inserted and housed therein, as well as providing added protection of the clubs from one another. The wood complex is vertically segregated and positioned proximate or distal the body of the user.

Abstract: The present invention features a unique carrying device for carrying a cartable item, wherein the carrying device is formed of a rigid structure and comprises means for engaging a first shoulder of a user, means for engaging a second shoulder of a user, means for connecting the means for engaging the first and second shoulders of a user together, means for adjusting the ergonomic configuration of the carrying device, means for releasably coupling or attaching the carrying device to a golf bag, and means for transitioning, upon elective actuation, functions to transition or convert the carrying device from a single-shoulder carrying arrangement or position to a dual-shoulder carrying arrangement or position.

Abstract: A method of supplying liquid is provided, including the steps of providing, at a first location, a cistern on land for liquid; providing, at a second location, a floating flexible container of liquid; and incrementally conveying liquid from the container to the cistern according to a demand determined according to the use of liquid in the cistern. The invention is directed to an apparatus for supplying liquid employing the on-land cistern and floating flexible container.

Abstract: A load insulator having an elongated, load bearing, electrically insulating body extending between and coupled to opposite metal lugs, for coupling the load insulator in a loaded line, has an electrically insulating cover formed on the outside of the body and extending over and completely covering each of the pair of metal lugs at the opposite ends of the body. The insulating cover, which is of integral, one-piece construction, and may be made of polyurethane, is formed within a mold during construction of the load insulator by leaving a void within the mold around the opposite metal lugs and the body before introducing plastic into the mold, to form the insulating cover. Covering each of the opposite metal lugs as well as the body with the insulating cover forces high voltage-produced currents through the inside of the load insulator by preventing current creep around and flashing over the outside of the insulator body.

Abstract: A load insulator 2, for interposition into a loaded line, comprises a plurality of mechanical links 4 connected together to form a chain, and an electrical insulator 8 arranged between a pair of adjacent interlocked links 10,12 in the form of an insert of insulative material to electrically isolate the links 10,12 of the pair from each other. A load sensing device may be provided for sensing the strain on the mechanical link. A measuring device 24 for measuring the resistance of the insulator 8 is provided to check the electrical condition of the load insulator, whilst a recording and indicating device allows for recording of electrical strikes and provide a lifetime expiry indicator.
