  • Patent number: 11942236
    Abstract: Disclosed are cable types, including a type THHN cable, the cable types having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method of manufacture thereof, in which the central conductor core and insulating layer are surrounded by a material containing nylon or thermosetting resin. A silicone based pulling lubricant for said cable, or alternatively, erucamide or stearyl erucamide for small cable gauge wire, is incorporated, by alternate methods, with the resin material from which the outer sheath is extruded, and is effective to reduce the required pulling force between the formed cable and a conduit during installation.

  • Publication number: 20240079133
    Abstract: A ventilation system operates in one of a plurality of modes for communicating ventilation information with a computing device, and operating parameters of a ventilation device are remotely modified based on system data. Ventilation data is received from a ventilation device and an alarm associated with the ventilation device or the patient associated with the ventilation device is determined based on at least a portion of the ventilation data. Responsive to determining the alarm, the alarm is transmitted to the computing device before the ventilator data is transmitted to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 10029184
    Abstract: A plug-in type container including: a bottom plate configured to prevent leaking through the container bottom; side walls; and side columns. The bottom plate, the side walls and the side columns are connected in a plug-in manner to form a trough body. The bottom plate and the side columns are provided with plug-in structures configured to engage with each other. The side columns and the side walls are provided with plug-in structures configured to engage with each other. The plug-in type container is formed by connecting the bottom plate, the side columns and the side walls in a plug-in manner. The components are plate-like or columnar structures and can be directly stacked for packing, thereby occupying little space and convenient to transport and carry. Moreover, assembly of the container can be done in a simple manner, thus a common consumer can assemble the container without using tools or screws.

  • Patent number: 7296679
    Abstract: A multi-purpose insert designed to be used in conjunction with a conventional toy container or box for packaging, shipping and displaying a toy item. The insert includes a base piece, a cover piece and a holding piece, as well as a locking mechanism. The base piece has a main section with a raised platform and two end sections that are hingeably connected to the main section so that they can be folded up in a right angle relative to the main section. The insert also includes a cover piece which is placed over the toy item placed on the main section of the base piece, and a holder piece placed above the cover piece for keeping the two end sections in the upright position for retaining the toy item for packaging and shipping purposes. When the holding piece is removed, the two end sections of the base piece can be folded down for displaying the toy item on the raised platform of the main section of the base piece.
