Abstract: A surge protector for protecting telecommunications related equipment and other associated sensitive electrical components from over-voltage transient occurring on tip/ring conductors of telecommunication lines coupled thereto includes a printed circuit board and a plurality of surge protection circuits being mounted on the printed circuit board. Each of the plurality of surge protection circuits includes a first set of steering diodes and a second set of steering diodes. A common transient voltage clamping device has a first end connected to a first conductor lead and a second end connected to a second conductor lead so as to be shared by the plurality of surge protection circuits. A common pair of series-connected rectifier diodes has a first end also connected to the first conductor lead and a second end also connected to the second conductor lead so as to be shared by the plurality of surge protection circuits.

Abstract: A surge protector for protecting telecommunications related equipment and other associated sensitive electrical components from over-voltage transient occurring on tip/ring conductors of communication lines coupled thereto includes a printed circuit board and surge protection circuits mounted on the printed circuit board. The surge protection circuits are interconnected between incoming tip and ring terminals defining an unprotected side and outgoing tip and ring terminals defining a protected side. Each of the surge protection circuits has a first set of steering diodes, a pair of series-connected voltage clamping devices, and a second set of steering diodes. Input side connector devices are coupled to the respective incoming tip and ring terminals for connecting to incoming telecommunication lines. Output side connector devices are coupled to the respective outgoing tip and ring terminals for connecting to customers' electrical equipment to be protected.

Abstract: A roof water dispersal system includes a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements mounted near the edge of a roof structure for receiving and dispersing streams of roof run-off water. The dispersal elements are spaced apart from each other and assembled into a unit mounted to receive the streams of run-off roof water, and the individual elements within the overall assembly can vary in shape, thickness or material to provide an optimal balance between dispersal efficiency and strength of the overall assembly. The dispersal elements of the assembly are supported by transverse elements which maintain the dispersal elements in predetermined relative positions within the assembly and mount the overall assembly relative to the edge of the roof structure. The system of the present invention includes transverse supporting elements which are positioned above the longitudinally extending dispersal elements.

Abstract: A roof water dispersal system includes a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements mounted near the edge of a roof structure for receiving and dispersing streams of roof run-off water. The elements are spaced apart from each other and assembled into a unit mounted to receive the streams of run-off roof water. The individual elements within the assembly can vary in shape, thickness, or material to provide an optimum balance between dispersal efficiency and strength of the overall assembly. A weir is mountable near the edge of the roof and aligned with cross members of the rain dispersal assembly to divert the roof run-off water streams from impacting on regions of the assembly at which the dispersal elements intersect with cross members to prevent undesirable deflection or collection of run-off water at these regions.
