Abstract: System and method provide wireless distributed lighting control systems implementing a secure peer-to-peer, self-organizing and self-healing mesh network of actuators and system inputs. The system and method can be designed specifically for indoor and outdoor lighting where actuators include in-fixture, on-fixture and circuit control modules with ON/OFF and full range dimming capabilities, and system inputs include occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylight sensors and switches. A unique messaging protocol facilitates wireless and wired communication between actuators and system inputs, and provides web-based commissioning and monitoring of the lighting control system using a wireless access point accessible from a local network or Internet which can provide an intuitive and easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Abstract: A kindling wood splitter device comprising: a beam formed in an elongated configuration and positioned vertically in an operative orientation; an upper bracket including a front surface with frontwardly projecting members and a rear surface affixed to an upper extent of the beam, a handle formed in an elongated configuration being rotatably coupled between the frontwardly projecting members; a sliding cutter assembly comprising a slidable wedge holder and a wedge, the holder being slidably coupled to the beam and including frontwardly projecting bars, the wedge including a blade with a point oriented in a downward direction, the wedge having an upper end coupled between the bars of the holder; and a linkage shaft formed in a planar configuration with an upper claw and a lower claw, the lower claw being rotatably coupled to the sliding cutter assembly, the upper claw being rotatably coupled to the handle.
