Abstract: A shock awareness system including a shock detector for measuring an electrical condition in a body of water and a remote station in communication with the shock detector with the shock awareness system displaying a measured electrical condition in the body of water in relation to a known hazardous electrical condition in the body of water to enable an operator to determine a level of danger in a body of water.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a blind connection between a first wire and a second wire where each of the wires are inserted into a sleeve with the first wire laterally inserted into the sleeve for positioning along the first wire and the second wire axially inserted through the sleeve and into engagement with a stop located outside the sleeve to ensure that the second wire is properly positioned in the sleeve before an unseen electrical connection is formed between the first wire and the second wire.

Abstract: A reusable LED landscape light set up tool and method for either positioning, repositioning or illumination of a LED landscape light with a DC power source and without hardwiring the LED landscape light prior to an attachment of the LED landscape light to a permanent power source.

Abstract: A wire connector having a collar surrounding a set of wire ports in a wire connector with the collar providing a collective shield between an environment external to the collar the collar but not between the set of wires within the collar.

Abstract: An irrigation device having a flexible container for holding water while delivering the water directly into the soil with the irrigation device having a filler neck to facilitate filling and inhibit backflow therethrough with a cap that can quickly seal the filler neck after the irrigation device is filled and a handhold useable to hold the filler neck in an elevated condition during the filling and closing of the flexible container.

Abstract: An epidermal friendly twist-on wire connector and a method of applying an epidermal twist-on wire connector having a resilient gripping region including a set of low profile, resilient ribs that are circumferentially spaced so that a users thumb and fingers can compressively and sequentially engage and compress at least a portion of a plurality of ribs as well as the valley between the ribs during application of a wire securement torque to the twist-on wire connector while at the same time inhibiting or preventing epidermal trauma in a users thumb and fingers.

Abstract: A method of making a twist-on wire connector including a method of making a sealant containing twist-on wire connector by in situ formation of a shell around the coil wherein a sealant may be injected into a cavity in the coil prior to removing the shell from the mold to form a ready-to-use sealant containing twist on wire connector without further steps outside the mold.

Abstract: A push-in wire connector having a sealant therein to enable formation of a waterproof electrical connection by axial insertion of a wire into a chamber contained an electrical conductor protected by the sealant with the electrical conductor displaceable into a waterproof electrical contact with the wire while both the conductor and the wire remain in the presence of the sealant.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting wires including dissimilar electrical conductors such as copper and aluminum conductors with the electrical connector including failure inhibiting features that can include an oxidation inhibiting coating and a sealant. To ensure that a minimum pressure contact has been achieved at the interface between the electrical connector a shearable fastener can be used to secure an electrical conductor in the electrical connector.
