Abstract: A load control system may include control devices capable of being associated with each other at one or more locations for performing load control. Control devices may include control-source devices and/or control-target devices. A location beacon may be discovered and a unique identifier in the location beacon may be associated with a unique identifier of one or more control devices. Upon subsequent discovery of the location beacon, the associated load control devices may be controlled. The beacons may be communicated via radio frequency signals, visible light communication, and/or audio signals. The visible light communication may be used to communicate other types of information to devices in the load control system. The visible light communication may be used to identify link addresses for communicating with load control devices, load control instructions, load control configuration instructions, network communication information, and/or the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a backstop net assembly and kit for use in combination with a basketball hoop assembly, which comprises a multi-socketed mounting block, a plurality of net extension rods, and a ball-gathering net assembly. In a basketball playground, one can find an upright support post, a backboard mounted on the post, and a basketball rim and net structure mounted on the backboard. The present invention provides a basketball backstop net assembly to gather errant basketball shots launched by a basketball shooter to minimize basketball retrieval time and possible damage to surrounding valuables. The ball-gathering net is a reticulated having a size and width, which extends vertically and laterally via the net extension rods a sufficient distance to capture errant shots and to assist in keeping the basketball in play. Additionally, a perimeter cord bounds the reticulated portion of the net to provide added strength to the ball-gathering net.

Abstract: A hand-held dispenser for delivering small, precisely controllable amounts of fluid or semi-fluid adhesives includes an elongated container having a hollow cylindrical barrel section terminated at the rear end thereof by a pair of diametrically opposed flange wings protruding radially outwards from opposite sides of the barrel, a reduced diameter front tubular outlet section extending forward from the barrel, and a flexible capillary delivery tube protruding outwards from the outlet section. A piston longitudinally slidably located within the bore of the barrel displaces adhesive within the bore forward of the piston by the turning of a lead screw which contacts the rear wall of the piston and which is threadably held within a support member attached to the rear portion of the barrel section.

Abstract: A tray assembly for organizing optical fiber splices comprising an upwardly open, generally channel shaped main frame having a bottom wall and upwardly extending side walls. A plurality of individual splice trays are removably carried in the main frame in vertically spaced, juxtaposed relationship on threaded studs which extend vertically upwardly from the bottom wall through openings in the trays. The trays are maintained in a predetermined vertically spaced relationship by bosses formed on the base of the main frame and about the openings in the trays. A cover member overlies the trays and extends between the side walls of the main frame.
